I absolutely love watching the NHL playoffs, and this year is no different. It's always better when the Bruins are in the playoffs, but even if they're not there is so much to watch. I love the intensity, the desire and lust for the cup, but most of all I love playoff beards. There is no other sport that has a quirky, universal tradition like playoff beards. This isn't just the Tampa Bay Rays going with mohawks for the MLB playoffs. This is pretty much every player on every team.
Now let's get to the hate part of my relationship. The Bruins swept in 4 games, and it looks like the New York Rangers will wrap up their series against the Caps this weekend, possibly even tonight. If that happens, the two teams would match up in the 2nd round. Unfortunately, the NHL has a rule that a series for the next round can't start until all series in the previous round are finished. That means the Boston Bruins may not start the next series until next Saturday! Ugh. That would give them a week and a half off between series. So much for carrying momentum to the next series. That is way too much time off.
Let me know what you think.
