We just had another great Stanley Cup championship. Here are a few reasons why hockey is a great sport.
The action is fast in hockey. Basketball and soccer seem like slow-motion in comparison.
Hockey is intense.
Hockey players are tough. A Blackhawk player lost 7 teeth in a playoff game last month, and finished the game.
Hockey games are well-officiated. Using replays when necessary, the referees almost never get a goal wrong. Players do not fake being fouled in order to draw penalties.
Hockey favors all-around athletes. It is not like basketball favoring the tall and football favoring the big.
Hockey has sensible rules. Other sports have weird rules that disrupt the action, reward the wrong players, give the referee too much control over the game.
