NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Charles Barkley has not hidden that the TV analyst is far more excited about the Stanley Cup playoffs than the NBA playoffs.
Thanks to a night off in the NBA Finals , Barkley took up NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman on his invitation to come watch the Stanley Cup Final in person.
”There’s nothing more nerve-wracking than Stanley Cup overtime hockey,” Barkley said. ”It’s the craziest thing you’re ever going to see, so that’s one reason I just love the sport.”
Barkley interrupted Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey talking about the 1984-85 Oilers being voted by NHL fans as the greatest team in league history.
