With the Stanley Cup Finals upon us, which team will take home Lord Stanley's cup? This is a fantastic match-up between two of the Original Six. This will be a great series with some great goaltending, physicality and some fast paced play.

What an amazing Game 1 last night...Triple OT...couldn't ask for anything better than overtime in the Stanley Cup finals...that game last night is one reason why the Stanley Cup is the best post season in ALL OF SPORTS

Wooooah there slugger. Stanley cup is good and that was a great game last night but March Madness makes the country stop. Also, once the NCAA FB starts getting into the playoff format, that could quickly be the greatest post season.

USA agrees with me. Also, I'd say the World Cup is a Post Season to since all the qualifiers are what gets you in the show. I'd say that is far greater post season :-P.

I will give you the fact that the country stops with the NCAA tournament. That is because much more pizazz has been put up around the NCAA tournament. However, comparing history, physicality and passion, the Stanley Cup is the best, hands down.

This country has proven on many occasions they are morons...So to throw that out is an irrelevant argument. There isn't another championship that has the intensity of the Stanley Cup play offs. CBB doesn't even compare to the fortitude it takes to win the CUP. Hockey is more physically demanding than football, they take a week off....And college teams take a month off before playing their bowl games. And because there are 32 games on in one day and people have an excuses to drink beer and eat bad food doesn't make a tournament great...

I agree 100% that it takes more testicular fortitude to play hockey than any other sport. Not even gonna push back on that at all. It is hard to not romanticize March Madness. March Madness is magical and one of the greatest things I watch every year. It invests the viewer with brackets. I diligently fill out each team on a little dotted line with thought. Then the tournament starts and all thought is thrown out the window. Teams that aren't supposed to be there are busting brackets. Davidson... George Mason... Then you have the emotions of "amateur" players just simply playing for glory. They have 4 maybe 5 years to make a run at a NC. Then most of the time a program is rebuilding and needs time to come together so a team truly only has maybe a year or two to compete for a NC. Then they work hard all year and lose in one game in the tourney. Just one game. Heartbreaking and phenominal at the same time. Intensity... ya, March Madness has more.
