Why The NHL Playoffs Rule

Tom Jones of the St. Petersburg Times lists his ten reasons why he'd rather watch the NHL playoffs instead of the NBA:

Bulls star Scottie Pippen once missed most of an NBA playoff game because of a headache. Kwame Brown of the Wizards sat out a postseason game because of a stomach virus. Compare that to the Lightning's Ruslan Fedotenko, above, who has no recollection of playing in Game 7 of the 2004 Stanley Cup final because of a concussion suffered earlier in the series. Oh yeah, Fedotenko scored both goals in Tampa Bay's 2-1 victory.

Terrifying, but true.
