Lots of good sports on over the weekend. Notably, it's the NHL playoffs (ice hockey) and the NBA playoffs (basketball). Both these sports become a lot more watchable during the playoffs, where the energy and excitement cranks up. One of my favorite things to watch is a hockey game that goes to overtime - because first team to score a goal wins, no matter how long the game goes on for. We've had games that have gone to multiple overtimes, and the tension is palpable and the drama is extreme - but you can't stop watching. The Seattle Kraken are in the playoffs for the first time. Unfortunately they're facing the reigning champs (Colorado Avalanche) and are currently 2-1 down in a best-of-7 series. What else did we have this weekend? Well obviously we have football - with so much still to play for at the top and the bottom (looking forward to the rather big match on Wednesday!). Now that Palace are in less danger of relegation, I can enjoy watching Arsenal blow it - rather than actually hoping they'll beat some of the other relegation contenders (I'm no fan of Man City, but I HATE Arsenal). And this weekend we had the only NASCAR race I really care about - Talladega. Mainly because this race always has the best crashes. Take away the crashes, and motor sports becomes nearly unwatchable (prime example of this - Formula 1).
