[Shub]

I can honestly say that i don't know one person that watches hockey.

give it a try... I only knew like 3.... in a year it's become my favorite sport to watch...

go to a kings game man, it's unreal in excitment. It's like discovering NFL

Ditto.

In NA people find sitcom re-runs to be more entertaining than hockey. So I will go with nba.

This Chicago/St Louis game is what the NHL is all about!! I wish I was there!

 

[Samhain]

NHL by far
NBA is just unwatchable...

I think it is a regional thing. I live in Southern CA also and I do not know any one either. I think my neighbor's brother-n-law/roomate does but he is from MN

Hockey coverage has improved greatly the past few years. NBCSN sport channel does a nice job.

Scott Carter - you crack me up LOL

Hockey rules!

nhl hands down so much intensity in every game and to continue that for 4 rounds game after game basically every other night its amazing

I don't know how many times I turned down a private box for the Raptors. I just have zero interest. I love to watch March Madness, but the NBA is looking too much like soccer with potential career ending cramps and turned ankles.

Hockey pulling away... 11-6 more exciting than NBA

Although 10 out of 17 will bet more on NBA... I imagine because it gets way more coverage, it's a little more "known" as NHL feels more like anything can happen on any given night sport (like MLB)

 

[FairWarning]

Hardest to win? Don't think so

Much harder to win the Cup. Just look at the series prices. The largest one in the NHL was -375. The largest in the NBA will be -10000.

i also lived in LA before moving away. when the Kings won the cup and had the parade. 1 of the local news papers showed a picture of the crowd at the championship parade. nothing but mexicans. i said to myself. i wonder how many of those "fans" could name 5 players on the team.
id rather watch nba playoffs over anyother sport. thats just my preference.

Elephant in the room. People find it more exciting watching a sporting event where they can more closely relate to its participants. Excluding Canadians considering its their national sport.

 

[DarkStar]

Not even close...NHL

Just so you know, our National Sport is not hockey. It's lacrosse.
