Business Dump - Hockey or Hoops?
I don’t know about you, but I miss the good old days. The days when I was young enough to sit around and watch sports from the time I got home from school until after the time I got into bed. Or even my college days, where class was optional and pizza was plentiful. I would go back and forth from one game to the other, and maybe a third if possible. And this was always t

But put them together and you could have yourself quite a couple of months. Unfortunately my college days are behind me, and with that comes the cruel fate of waking up at 6:30 every mo

In any event, I just can’t seem to find the time to watch all of the sports that I used to. So the question is what to choose? Let’s examine which post season, if any, is really worth sacrificing sleep for.

e Competition. I suppose this would depend on your definition of good competition. In the NHL you have the balance from top to bottom. Currently both top seeds in hockey are gone before the conference finals, and the top 4 seeds in the West all bowed out in the first round. On the other hand, the NBA seems to be more top heavy, which would have some arguing that this mak
here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe
es for better competition in the later rounds. I would give hockey the nod here. I realize there are a lot of people out there who just don’t get hockey, and find it unwatchable. But for those of you who appreciate the incredible skill level that it requires, you will notice that hockey more than any other sport is played at the highest level during its post season. Whil
d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

the Oiler’s beating the Red Wings in the first round may not be the greatest thing in terms of attracting fans to keep tuning in, it shows me that the league is ultra-competitive from top to bottom. Chalk one up for hockey.

There’s nothing worse, especially for the casual hockey fan (although some would argue that there’s no such thing), than sitting through a full hockey game with clicker in hand, and as you flip the channel quickly to check the score of another game, you miss a goal!

Where the true convenience lies with basketball is that everyone knows you really only need to tune in to the final quarter, if not just the final 5 minutes of an NBA game to see the best part.
