Why Do The NBA and NHL Have Such Corresponding Opening Nights This Year?

Just a quick observation…

Last night, there was basketball on TNT.  We didn’t watch, because we’re not basketball fans, but look at the matchups they got for opening night.  Two playoff teams, including a superstar’s opening game, and a budding Eastern Conference powerhouse to start off.  And for the second game, a boring ceremony to raise a banner in a game between one team that was supposed to be great and one that was supposed to be awful.

Just sayin’.  Fans of NHL and NBA, who had the better opening night?
