Playoff hockey is no doubt the best version of the sport. From April to June, we are all witness to its unrivaled speed, skill, unpredictability, and the overall general mayhem of a postseason.
Arguably, they're the best playoffs in professional sports. Many hockey fans become fans thanks to the intensity of the playoffs, and Twitter user @soloucity is just the latest -- and most hilarious -- example of the Stanley Cup playoffs turning someone into a hockey fan.

Good choice on picking the Blues, Tony, cause they won an absolute nail-biter last night!
Honestly why wouldn't the whole team just stand in front of the net for the last minute

The goalie just said Fuck it and left?
— Tony X. (@soIoucity) April 26, 2016
That's pretty much what happens when empty net situations happen, yes.
