Stanley cup play-offs are almost here!!

while NHL hockey is our second favorite sport here at football and beer, we always acknowledge that Lord Stanley's Cup is the hardest trophey to bring home. Seven game series in each round of the p[layoffs, including god knows how many overtimes, makes hockey the hardest sport to win a championship in. The non-stop night after night, banging, crashing, slashing, punching, and shot blocking fury of playoff hockey is about as adrenaline filled a testosterone ride as there is.....don't miss this. If your not a hockey fan, I implore you to watch opne series of playoff hockey. Any series will do, and you'll never look back. Whethere it's a goal-tender making improbable save after improbable save, under the most harsh of offensive onslaughts or a true goal scorer turning the tides of a scoreless game with first rate stick handling and skating abiliity, the stanley cup playoffs has it all. A defenseman laying it all on the line for his team and blocking a slap shot with velocity near 100mph is not only heroic, it's common place when fighting for a hockey championship.

We will be covering the quest for cup here at football and beer, and I urge newcomers to the sport to watch and enjoy!
