Just curious, anybody following the NHL playoffs?

I'm following until the maple leafs get put out.
Well said!I guess the thing I love most about hockey is that, unlike football, basketball or baseball, having home ice isn't as much of an advantage. A bad puck bounce here, an injury or bad penalty there, a goalie having a bad game can happen equally to the home or visiting team in any game.
Add to the fact that these guys are some of the toughest athletes in sports. A hockey player can take a puck or a stick to the face, go to the training room, get stitched up and not miss a shift. The one thing I can compare it to is Jack Youngblood continuing to play in the 1979 post season with a broken leg.
