With the Stanley Cup Playoffs well
underway, my emotions are on edge to say the least. Even though my team, the
New York Rangers, got eliminated in the first round, I still follow the current
series and watch as much as I can. If you’re a hockey fan, or if you live with
one, you’re familiar with the ups and downs that a competitive series can
bring. It’s been said that there is no other sporting event that can match a Game 7 during the NHL Playoffs. Anything can happen and, a last minute goal, even in
the final seconds, is more likely than you think. Because of this, viewers are
forced to the edge of their seats while watching these games and if you're a serious fan, you probably look something like this.
