I've enjoyed these playoffs immensely. Even though the Wings were out of it in the 1st rd. the hockey has been competitive and I will take the NHL over the NBA anyday. The Kings looked like they could be dangerous early on and I'm confident they will not blow it against the Devils.
Scoring in the finals has been down but it is still exciting. There is no doubt in my mind that the Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy in professional sports to win. The season is a grind and then the postseason is a grind in and of itself.
Here's hoping the Wings return to a long post season run next year.
