That tingle you feel is <em>probably<\/em> the National Hockey League playoffs, which are in full swing after a spectacular regular season filled with particularly notable storylines; there was the all-time goal record chase (Ovechkin chasing Gretzky), an inaugural season for an expansion team (Utah), and even a goalie in a rare conversation for league MVP (Hellebuyck).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also cool: this was the first time the league dropped the All-Star game in favor of the \u201c4 Nations Face Off\u201d tournament, a week-long, round-robin contest featuring four countries, which predictably ended in a Canada versus USA showdown that Canada won in dramatic fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We figured we could restage the drama of the 4-nations tournament using\u2026 area codes! (Look, it\u2019s actually more exciting than it sounds.)
