I also think that because of the lack of boundaries, low amounts of stoppages in play, and the pure speed and physicality of the game, hockey is one of the most exciting sports out there. There are hardly ever boring games as long as you stay away from games where two bad teams play each other and when it comes to playoff hockey, there's nothing like it. I know this is my opinion and it comes from me being a hockey player/fan for the past 16 years, but I honestly can't see how hockey can be considered boring.
