but I have actually paid somewhat close attention to the playoffs this year. All the new rules implemented this year must be working because scoring is up and it just appears more fun to watch (not that I've watched much NHL in the past). The high point of the postseason came a couple weeks ago in which the 8-seed Edmonton Oilers knocked off the top-seeded Redwings after coming from behind to score four goals in the final period to win 4-3. It appears the days of 1-0 wins are over. I hope the die-hards are welcoming this run-and-gun style of play.
The Eastern Conference Finals Hurricanes-Sabres matchup should be entertaining, and who couldn't rally behind the Mighty Ducks or the underdog Oilers? The one intriguing aspect of hockey is that it's anyone's game. This year in the West all four of the top seeds were upset leaving a dogfight with the 5-8. In what other sport does that ever happen? Tune in.

The game's intensity is pretty interesting... San Jose fans are starting to boo the Oilers during the Canadian national anthem.
