The NHL has the longest playoff season in pro sports (and season is the right word) at two months: there are four rounds and all are best-of-7 series unlike the NBA (5, 7, 7, 7) or baseball (5, 7, 7).  At an average of 14-16 days per series, that's two series per month and four rounds over two months.  \n\nFor decades, the regular season usually ended at the end of a calendar month.  When the NHL had 21 teams and fewer regular season games, that meant the season ended in March and the Playoffs ended in May.  Now the regular season ends in April and the Stanley Cup is awarded by the end of June.  \n\nBack in the six team era, pre-1967, teams played 50 games per year (10 games per month) plus a two round playoff, so the season was only seven months from training camp to the cup.  Now it's a ten month marathon and players stay in shape all year.  \n\nI would bet many players were actually glad to have the 2005 season off; it may have taken a year out of their careers then, but it probably added a year to the end of their careers, especially to players who might have missed games in 2005 due to injuries.

The US - Russia semi final game in the 1980 olympics had to be the greatest game from a US perspective.\n\nHowever a personal Favorite of mine (and a very close second) was game 7 of the 1994 Stanley cup eastern conference semi-finals between the NY Rangers and the NJ Devils.\n\nHowie Rose's call of the Game winning goal in the 2nd OT still gives me goosebumps \n\n"Mateau, Mateau, Mateau. Stephane Matteau and the Rangers have one more hill to climb baby, but its Mt. Vancouver. The Rangers are headed to the finals"

The most memorable game is the 1966 final between England and West Germany. It is not the English cling to the past, it was the climax of a great competition.\n\nIt start with the theft of the Jules Rimmet Trophy and a replica being made, then that was found by pickles the dog. There were lots of great matchs, Eusebio was amazing, then the hosts reached the final, went one down, came back to lead, the Germans equalised in stopage time sending the final to extra time for the first time ever. Then there was "that goal", and then Geoff Hurst scored the only ever world cup final hatrick.

You've got your facts confused a bit, Ken. The 1980 US Olympic Hockey team never played the NHL All-Stars, but the Soviet team did and thrashed them by a score of 6-0. The US team did, however, play four exhibition games against NHL teams (Minnesota, St. Louis, Atlanta and Washington), losing them all and being outscored by a margin of 24-8. To me, these facts just make the "Miracle on Ice" even that much more of an accomplishment, to say nothing of being perhaps the greatest upset in sports history.

ice hockey is much faster play with better hits and fighting, football is slow and boring

Best player to play the game period is Bobby Orr. Not only did he dominate the game for a number of years, but he redifined a position. He played an offensive attack from the blueline and did so without negelectling his main responsibility as a defenceman. He won the scoring title from the point and, although the stat was not kept then, would have also won the +/- award in the same year. Unfortunatley injuries cut his career short and robbed us of the greatest player to have ever laced the skates.

Hockey all the way!! \n\nIn basketball they score almost every time up and down the court, its like a game for people with ADD.  And even the BIGGEST play in basketball is still only worth ANOTHER 2 or 3 points... <yawn>  Lately basketball(pro) has turned into a beauty contest, instead of a team sport.  and 6 Fouls?  gimme a break.  The last 2 minutes of watching men play bumpass takes 20 minutes to watch.\n\nIn hockey they have to work for every single goal, and without a team effort you would fail miserably. (no 81 points by a single player here)  Hockey is much more physically demanding.  Both sports are bothered by inconsistant calls by the refs that hurt the game though.\n\nIf you are talking about playing yourself, whatever you enjoy is best!
