Why Hockey Rules all.

It's no secret that Hockey is my favorite sport. I just felt like outlining why and show you all that Hockey is truly the best sport.

First reason is that it incorporates all of the best aspects of all other professional sports. You have the non-stop action of soccer and basketball. Seriously watch a game! Those players don't stop! There's the hard hitting often seen and most of the time exceeded in football. Just look at this video! As far as I can tell all of these hits are legal hits!



And unlike football these guys shake it off get back up and skate. And unlike football they allow sporadic fighting. Check this out.



Lastly it has requires the mental preparation of baseball for each game. Who's in goal? Who's on the DL? Who's on fire right now? If your a few minutes left and a delayed penalty is called and your team has the puck what do you do? (Give it to the other team get the penalty call and finish the period with a PP advantage.) All of those things will and have effected the out come of games.

Secondly besides basketball it's the only sport you can represent your team in the Olympics. Sure you have the World Baseball Classic but who (unless your a baseball fan) watches the Classic? Football plays one game a season outside the United States, one game! Yeah there's the European Football League but people in Europe follow that like we here in the States follow Major League Soccer. Yes there is an MLS in the United States in case you didn't know or care. Soccer does have the World Cup. But, like the question about the tree in the forest by itself, if nobody is watching are you really representing your country? I have a special place in my heart reserved for the hate of soccer.... And who was it that won the hearts of Americans in the 1980's Olympics? It was a Hockey team! Not curling not a ski team Hockey! Remember when we had the NBA Dream team? Jordan, Bird, Robinson, Pippen... Some of the best basketball players on the planet go and win the 92 Gold medal and yet nobody cares! Instead we write movies and books about the 1980 Olympic Hockey Team!


Lastly, like in most manly sports, there has to be a winner. There's a 5 minute over time and if there's no score within that period then there's a shootout. Soccer can end with a 0-0 and people are ok with that....? No wonder soccer is enjoyed more in third world and communistic countries where, 'everyone's a winner'. BALONEY! There are winners and losers in this world and if your a soccer fan your the later. Again I loath soccer.

So there's my reasons for why Hockey is and forever will be the best sport!
