NFL playoffs, for the reason stated 1 and done.

March Maddness is also great, just because of so many teams.

NBA, NHL and MLB really depends on the teams in, and if it can go 7games.

While the ALCS was great this year, the WS wasn't as exciting (except for the story of the Sox).

If a series is 3-1 or 3-0, it's kinda ho-hum, but if it's a game 7, it's a different story.

Hockey is better SOMETIMES. When you have two teams giving it their all through 7 games and it still comes down to the wire, it's fucking sweet. However, that is not always the case. I've seen my fair share of boring series.

In the NFL playoffs all you get is one game, win or go home. This creates a higher percentage of intense and exciting games.

So, when hockey is good, it is the best. However, football has a higher percentage of awesomeness due to the system and therefore got my pick in the poll.

This was probably the best two/three weeks in my life:

Wild down 3-1 against Avalanch first round of playoffs, win 4-3
Wild down 3-1 against Canucks second round of playoffs, win 4-3
Wild down 3-0 against Mighty Ducks third round of playoffs, lose 4-0

Even so, that was one helluva run. We were all going CRAZY!

the issue is blow-outs.

Superbowl that looks like the 85 bears vs. the Pats at half time is boring.

But a 3-0 game 4 in hockey, baseball, basketball is also a yawn.

Now, look at 80's basketball. Philly, Lakers, Celts... those were fun to watch, but so was basketball back then!

Superbowl- 3
Superbowl- 36
Superbowl 38

3 because the Jets won it, and forever completed the AFL/NFL merge.
36 and 38 were especially good, because there the most recent, and they were great games. 38 was probably the best superbowl ever.

I would say March Madness is the best tournament in sports.

I say this as a guy who has hockey running through his blood.

But of the big 4, I would say NHL playoffs are #1. Nothing beats a long overtime game, every trip up and down the ice can be heart attack inducing (if your team is in it).

I only enjoyed one of those games... regardless, the Superbowl is almost always boring as shit. There are like 800x more commercial breaks for ads so it is impossible for either team to get a good rhythm going. No SuperBowl moment will ever be nearly as exciting as Gibson's HR in 88, Carter's HR in 93, Smoltz vs. Morris in 91, Gonzo's blooper in 01, etc.

I don't know, I just don't think baseball is exciting really. Like calling the World Series exciting is not the right way to describe it. Don't get me wrong, I love baseball, and the World Series is cool/fun to watch, but it doesn't have enough action for me to say its more exciting then NHL or NFL.

Ok, forget the bloop single. Compare Vinatieris field goals to any of the other events I mentioned. Maybe they were more exciting for you because you're a Pats fan, but for everybody else, no.
