Best Sights and Cities of the NHL Playoffs

This year's Stanley Cup Playoffs have been staged in some of North America's most beautiful cities. Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal are Canada's finest metropolitan areas, and the locals are crazy about the hometown teams.

South of the Canadian border, great cities such as Boston, St. Louis, Chicago and Washington D.C. played host to playoff games this season. The 16 teams that embarked on the journey to the Stanley Cup on April 15 have been whittled down to two. The Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings might not play in America's most picturesque cities, but the hockey they have displayed in the first three games of the final has been artistic.
