I don't see how anyone could say it is harder to win the Stanley Cup than it is to win the NCAA Football Championship. You can't say so many games and this many playoff games and its brutal. Every other NHL team goes through the same thing. If we're basing it off games, the MLB World Series is the hardest thing to win in the world.
Toughest sport? Maybe I would accept that. But to say it is harder to beat out 29 other teams than it is to beat out 119 other teams? You're wrong. Especially when the best players come out of Florida and Texas and you have to recruit them to come to you, whereas in the NHL, there is no recruiting, just picking up the top talent.
March Madness and NCAA Football BCS Championship are without a doubt the two hardest championships to win because of how easy it is to be eliminated. I'm not positive, but doesn't over HALF of the NHL make the playoffs? I mean, seriously...
