Because this isn't basketball where almost every team makes it in.  If there were more games, it would take longer to do the season, and while you would think it would be popular, extended playoffs actually aren't exciting to most fans.\nRemember, 10 years ago, there were only two divisions in each league and only one playoff before the WS.  The addition of the wildcard and the additional round are recent additions, and exciting ones at that (especially with 4 of the last 5 Champions coming from Wild Card berths).\nHowever, I think 2 additional teams (so lets say a playin game/series between the two wildcards) would add too much time to the playoffs and throw a lot of teams off cycle/rotation.

Yes, I do. I'm actually impressed that Anaheim has made such a close series of it (the only seven-game series of the playoffs so far) but I feel sure Calgary will wrap things up at home tonight. The Flames are the better team and they play great in their own building. These Stanley Cup Playoffs have been superb so far (my Sabres did the job proper on the dread flyers last night to wrap up their series -- WOO HOO!) and I can't wait for the next round to begin. Let's play hockey!

Well This Aint Cosidered A Playoff...But The NCAA Tourney Is Far Better Than The Stanley Cup...Its So Fun To Try And Predict What Will Happen..

I would have to agree with you 100%! It would be a fantastic series to watch, and honestly? I think any team that wants to BE the best should have to PLAY the best, too! I think this year it is going to come down to the Spurs and Heat, but it isn't a SURE THING, and I think that only adds to the fascination! The only teams that have been contested in these playoffs are the teams that have played the Spurs, and the teams that have played the Pistons. The scary part? Those two teams are STILL standing...! What will happen next? No clue! But I DO have a feeling it will be San Antonio and Phoenix in the Conference Finals...! =)

You're right.  I tried to watch a game once.  What a waste of time.  Of course, the NBA isn't much more entertaining, but at least you know you're watching the best.  In the WNBA, they make a big deal out of a dunk.  That should tell you about the overall caliber of play in that league.  Won't be around much longer, I shouldn't think.

Im not a huge hockey fan, but due to my canadian blood, something sparks in me which i must watch the Stanley Cup Finals. I was rooting for North Corolina, but those last 3 minutes, i wanted to see the Edmonton Oilers score, how intense was that? But when they pulled out their goalie i knew they were screwed... As for being a fan? No, i prefer the St. Louis Blues, and the L. A. Kings.

Amen!Personally, I think the Mavs have gotten EXTREMELY lucky this series, and I think the refs couldn't suck any worse. Therefore, I think this series isn't over yet, and I'd like to see it go to a Game 7. Not just because I'm a Spurs fan, but because I'm a basketball fan. The quality of ball hasn't been it's best because the teams have not been able to play to their full potential because of the whistles being blown. I'd LOVE to see a long series of STRAIGHT UP basketball, instead of a free throw bonanza (that's why Dallas has won--NOT because of thier great play). Isn't that what the playoffs are about, anyway?!

Junior hockey is very exciting and more wide open than the NHL.\n\nMany of the future stars come from the OHL and it is nice to see them play on the way up and of course it is a lot cheaper to go to the junior games.

It's for the same reason that I pull for Philly teams but it isn't with the same level of loyalty to all the teams. Win or lose, I am a Flyers and Eagles fan. If the Phillies and Sixers ever decide to run their organizations like professional ones and have a plan that includes a championship, then I'll jump on their bandwagon. So, for now, it's Flyers, Eagles, Athletics, Spurs.

Pretty much, you just find yourself rooting for a team, and that's when you know. Personally, I don't like to just jump on the bandwagon; I like rooting for the underdog. But that's your decision.

Even as a Detroit Redwings fan, I was extrememly concerned when I saw them matched up with the Oilers.  I knew that the Oilers would give them problems, mainly because they can skate well, pass well, play great defense, and have a solid goaltender.  About halfway through that series I knew that Edmonton was going to beat the Wings and make a run at the Cup.  And I've been rooting for them ever since.

Very disappointed the Leafs are out but not surprised. I will still be watching all of the playoffs as there are still great games to watch.

Red Wings.\n\nI'm a Eastern Conference guy though, so I'm rooting for the Senators, although I'm wary of their recent history of playoff disappointments.

The Devils are doing better, but you should cheer for the team you would rather see win.  Success does not typically mean the most fans..Just ask anyone from Toronto...If I am in that position I cheer for the underdog..
