The NHL took a 2 1/2 week break for the Olympics, although they compressed their schedule a little so the playoffs are only about 1 1/2 weeks later this year.

Pro basketball does little to nothing for me, but I was wondering how often the NBA championship is decided before the NHL championship?

I seem to recall the NBA going later, almost to July sometimes, while the NHL seems to wrap up before that. But maybe I'm just imagining it?
