The NHL and NBA playoffs are in full swing. Two DI staffers debate which is better. NHL People who think that the NBA playoffs are better than the NHL playoffs are, in a word, ignorant. Not to say that it’s entirely their fault: the NHL has been misman- aged and mis-marketed for the last two decades, almost to the point of hilarity, leaving hockey to be seen as little more than a niche sport to many in the mainstream media. As a result, it experiences little to none of the same coverage the NBA gets, but that’s another story for another time. Anyone not named Stephen A. Smith who has actually hung around to watch an entire NHL playoff game will tell you that it is, hands down, the best, most fast-paced, exciting sporting event of the year. Hockey is one of the fastest sports in the world; some of the best skaters in the NHL reach speeds of more than 30 miles per hour.
