The NHL obviously isn’t going to surpass the NFL in terms of popularity anytime soon, but it’s sure gaining some ground on the NBA and MLB.
The NHL had begun seeing some major growth since the end of the 2004-05 lockout, thanks in large part to these multi-billion dollar TV contracts and the rise of superstars like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin.
But every sports fan knows there is nothing more exciting than the playoffs. And without a doubt, the NHL is the best postseason tournament of them all. So why doesn’t it get as much love as the other sports? If you’re guilty of not giving the NHL playoffs too much attention, we hope to change your mind with this list.
Today we present 10 reasons why the Stanley Cup playoffs are the BEST in all sports.

    Erik Lerström that’s chaos, the way sports should be and it takes incredible skill it’s just with small space they can’t do all they could in a 1v1. less space means more engagement. If people only watch sports for the superstars that’s sad to me. I like the nfl too and football as a sport more but if I’m being honest at the pro level hockey is better. I’ve played both and it’s better to play football and all in high school and college, but NFL players get too much of a sense of entitlement and it ruins it for some people but hockey’s not quite like that. If you watch it or play it it’s honestly easier to understand then football from an outsider

Even if my Canadiens have missed the playoffs for the past two years, I still end up watching the NHL playoffs because the action is so damn good. You don't get any snoozers like last Super Bowl gives you, or absolute blowouts that are no fun to watch like Red Sox v. Dodgers last october. definitely give it a go!

    I love hockey best, but there is no question predictably in sports runs inverse to the level of play. Pro sports are predictable because they execute at such a high level. They exhibit great talent and performance consistency. Conversely little league sports are not predictable because they are not as proficient in their execution and they are therefore more influenced by random luck, bad bounces and officiating. The NHL is the league that most often fails to crown the best team as champions. That's a major failure. They have created false parity to keep weaker teams in the game, but every league has historically reached peak interest with the fan base when dynasties exist. Parity is not always good for the game and false parity never is.

    I've long been a hockey fan. But as I explained to my spouse the other night, "Hockey playoffs are the best. In any NFL playoff game in the latter stages, one team is always trying to stop the clock. A run out of bounds, an incomplete pass, a time out. It artificially drags out the game. In contrast, the other night, in the Hurricane / Caps game, they went 7 minutes and 6 seconds without a whistle. Non stop action. #1 reason I love hockey!

    As a hockey fan, I really don't understand what people cheer for in basketball. Your team scores a basket, that's great but each individual basket is fairly meaningless. I could see getting excited over a really cool play (particularly if it leads to a basket) but there's a difference in the excitement level of your team doing something it probably does 50 times per game and your team doing something it likely does 2-4 times per game.

NHL has the three seasons, regular season, playoffs, and the Stanley Cup finals it doesn’t matter who’s even playing you’re always glued and your heart is always racing. I love hockey, it truly is a wonderful game that doesn’t get the respect it deserves. Thank you for making this!!

    There is a huge skill gap. That would be more obvious if the better team on any given night won more often. But the odds of the better team winning a game in the NHL playoffs are close to 50/50. Many teams dominate zone time, puck possession and scoring chances, but still lose. In the end, the refs have much more impact on the outcomes than the players when they randomly choose a half dozen penalties to call from among the dozens of infractions that occur.

    I can't wait for hockey to be introduced to Mexico and Central America, I just realized that my ethnicity's civilization needs us, Americans like me to bring the sport of hockey down to the old country just like the Canadians did in America way back then... We can do it even if it becomes a difficult challenge with the climate difference and all but that's what it will take to evolve my native country into a bad ass Culture of hockey stars and everything that comes with the sport, I mean imagine just having soccer or one unanimous popular sport. Doesn't attract the mind as well as hockey does, but all in all I love hockey and I hope my generation appreciates it more for the future of expanding, easily the greatest sport ever. Much love to all my hockey fans. GoKingsGo!!

    I disagree that MLB doesn't have unsung heroes. You get a lot of big plays from the lesser known players.

    Anytime someone asks me about Hockey toughness or something of the ilk I always refer to Campbell getting his leg shattered and playing through it for another minute because the teams PK was more important.

    One of the classiest things about the Stanley Cup is that it is the only trophy that the players names are engraved on the cup.
