It's the most wonderful time of the year. The playoffs are here. Not just the NBA playoffs either, but the NHL playoffs as well. I sit patiently all year waiting for now. Most people its waiting on a birthday or a holiday, but not me. This is the time when I can sit on my couch with remote in hand and pass an entire day. The action, the intensity and the desire to win never shine so much in all of sport.
I wish I could go back in time and hug the genius that invented the concept of playoffs. So many of my greatest memories stem from that person's inventions. Feelings of triumph and the feeling of having your heart ripped from your chest still beating go hand in hand. You can go from riding high into the sunset, to wanting to sink down to the bottom of the ocean in a matter of seconds. Where else can you get that? Where else is that a good thing? That is why the playoffs are so special. The emotion.
So I beg you, please get into the beautiful, terrible thing that is the playoffs. There is a place for everyone. It is Christmas in April, only this Christmas lasts for 6 weeks. Each and every day is like opening the best present ever. Win or lose, there is little in life I enjoy more than right now. Grab some buddies, the remote, sit back and enjoy. It's the playoffs. See you all in June.
