Hockey
I know hockey is not a major sport in the UK but i just wanted to mention the playoffs have begun in quest for Lord Stanleys Cup and my home town "Pittsburgh" is in the hunt! First the Steelers won in football and now we are rooting for our Penguins! Its very busy here in our sports!

Yes Kool its quite a battle for the cup! If every series goes the full 7 games a team could play as many as 28 games to reach the championship!

Yes Kool i wish they would! But the teams are so evenly matched i am not sure that will happen!
Update: Series now tied at two games each! SUNDAY UPDATE!: We now won 3 straight series now 3 games to 2! Monday: Game 6 at Pittsburgh! It could be over and on to the next round or a forced game 7 at their rink!
