Are the Stanley Cup Playoffs the best postseason in professional sports?

Only when there's OT, and especially so when it's OT in an elimination game.

Probably depends what sport you like best. For me it's the NFL playoffs.

the tension and energy of a great series of playoff hockey is pretty great. and i dont even really like hockey.

but playoff baseball is tops for me.

Opinions may vary, but I confidently say the majority opinion is a resounding "FUK NO!".

I don’t think it’s the best (that belongs to the NFL), but what it does do very well is it gets people who ordinarily don’t care about hockey to watch. And yes, these first two days have absolutely delivered.

That being said, the Stanley Cup is the best championship trophy in sports.

I've tried to get into hockey but I just can't do it. Close postseason baseball is probably the best for me but NFL is right there. Last year's Dodger Rays WS Game 4 was probably one of the best baseball games I've ever watched, not counting Game 7 of the 2016 WS

No.
However it’s very good. I personally can’t watch regular season hockey. Playoff hockey is an edge of your seat, thrill a minute ride.
