What a Game 1. What a great way to start off the Stanley Cup Finals. Two Original Six teams battled it out Wednesday night, into triple overtime. Nothing like playing two games in one night!
It always seems that when a game is played with multiple overtimes, the game almost always ends on a garbage goal. That is exactly what happened here. A double deflection goal. That just has to tear the heart out of the Bruins, who dropped game one. Being up 3-1 in the 3rd period, only to have the Blackhawks storm back and tie it up in the 3rd, only to eventually win it in triple ot.

The way this series is going, either team can take it. Right now, I can see this series ending in 6 in Boston as well.

Don't care who wins, as a lifelong hockey player/fan if these games keep being so intense and so cut throat, the winner is hockey. I have literally heard people around here say the NBA had better athletes and better playoffs, both of which couldn't be farther from the truth. The amount of blood, sweat, and tears(literally) these guys put in is second to none. That being said the only team I want to win less than the Blackhawks is the Bruins

Umm the nba has the best athletes in the world hands down... distant second would be football. Not sure where hockey would eveb fall on the list.... best pro playoffs is nba no question. Once again football right behind

I would have to agree that hockey is the best postseason...there is no chance in hell that the NBA has the best athletes in the world. To even say that is just insane. What hockey players go through during the season then four 7 game series just to win the Stanley Cup, is not even in the same stratosphere of the NBA. During the season/postseason, players play with numerous stiches, missing teeth, broken bones, etc., something you definitely don't see in the NBA.

I'd take rugby players as the best athletes and I am not that big of a rugby fan. Stronger, faster, and have more endurance. Hockey second. But this discussion might be better served in a new thread.

Just cuz you play hurt doesn't make you a superior athlete. I'd love for you to show me a better athlete than lebron James or russel westbrook or d rose... with your logic, hockey players are in good shape and tough. Anyone can be in shape an be tough. Not everyone can run, jump, and move like the nba players..... no other athletes are on their level..... what other professional sport could sidney Crosby play? I'm gonna guess none

The problem is, no matter what is said here, you can't compare because we will NEVER know how good some of these players would be in other sports. I will give you Lebron is an incredible athlete, but so is Michael Johnson, Tim Tebow, Paul Bissonette, Chad Johnson, Jermaine Jones, Clint Dempsey, Ray Lewis, Sidney Crosby so to really compare who is a better athlete is just stupid.

In general, roller derby has the best athletes. Or lingerie football. Either or.
