What the? NBA is losing the poll?!  :o Those crazy hockey fools. :laugh:

Well at least NBA has more star power, and a dunk is more exciting than a slapshot goal. :D

Ok, if you refer to star power as in trips to the local state jail, then yes. The amount of "baby's mommaz" doesn't hurt as well. Also, a slapshot is not considered exciting as it is... it is however, the many other goals that happen, like sweet set-ups that lead to a nice snapshot goal or something similar. Now, ask any person in the world what the most exciting event in any sports is, and they will say shoot-out or break-away! Why, because there is that "edge of your seat" suspence that the player vs goalie brings is unbelievably "exciting"! There's nothing exciting about a west-coast "thug" c-walkin' his way up to the net and "throwing one down!." And frankly, only in ###### sports are you not allowed to touch the opposing player as outlined in basketball. It truly boggles one's mind as to how someone would honestly get injured when there is a lack of physical contact. Posting up is not considered physical contact, a bodycheck or a slide-check is what you call physical!

:D vancouver is still alive!! 5-3 ovet st.louis. much better game from them tonight. probably the first game of the series they have played like themselves. naslund and bertuzzi both got goals. if the 1st line can get going and play like they can, we may just win this. can't wait for game 6 sunday!!

on a side note the baby leafs (St.John's) are beating Ottawa in the series 1-0 .. looks like the trend of kicking Ottawa's ass is tradition now! :cool:

just saw the nba poll...no contest...i am shocked that even 39 percent of people would rather go to nba finals game 7...at least in hockey there is some suspense and the same teams dont win every year...the overtime poll is more realistic...sudden death hockey is great stuff...

Why the NHL playoffs are better than the NBA's

:( damn, that sucks edmonton is out. i don't really like them but i always have to go for canadian teams. at least vancouver still has a shot, especially with that flu that is rumored to be going arround the blues, and the injuries to thier defense. toronto can pull it off too, and ottawa is in :D
