What a Mighty Bore!


Not only is the NHL losing popularity based solely on the fact that it is a boring sport that has confusing rules and tends to have the interest of another country in mind above our own(Canada), but this years Stanley Cup playoffs might just be the most lopsided, lifeless playoffs ever...in any sport. In the 2nd round of the playoffs, the eight best teams faced off. Although one might think this would lend itself to some intriguing and entertaining match ups, those four series ended at 4-0, 4-1, 4-1 and 4-2.

So, one would figure that the conference finals were going to be amazing considering four teams stood out above the rest in the conference semifinals. Well, your wrong. So far, the Pittsburgh Penguins are leading their series 3-0 and the Detroit Red Wings are up 3-0. Man, the NHL sure knows how to make their playoffs interesting. I guess we have to look at the bright side. At least the games are being played on Versus so that we don't have them taking up precious time on our major networks.
