Well to say it's been an adrenaline rush watching this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs would be a huge understatement. And the funny thing is I didn't really start getting into hockey until the Los Angeles Kings made their run to 2 Stanley Cup victories over the last few years.
So go ahead and call me a bandwagon fan if you must. That still doesn't diminish my excitement as the playoff march rolls on. There's just something dramatic about the potential of every play leading to a scoring chance or missed opportunity. It's even more exciting with the added element of sudden death overtime! Oh and then there's the extra chippiness that comes with scrums and altercations that develops between the players, coaches and officials and I love it!

That's the way it should be over the course of any best-of-7 playoff series in any sport. Trophies aren't handed out for taking it easy on your opponent. On the contrary, greatness is ultimately rewarded by pushing your foes to their breaking point. So as the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs march on, here's to hoping that the excitement doesn't stop. Oh and for my money, I'm rooting for the Blackhawks and Rangers this year with the Rangers coming out on top.
