What Makes Hockey Great - A Poll

I would like to conduct an unscientific poll as to what those of us here at HB love about our game and what we believe, collectively, is the single best reason for being a hockey fan today. Another way to look at this would be to ask yourself, "what is my favorite part of the game?". A number response is all that is required, but feel free to comment as well. Results to follow.

1) Fighting
2) The Stanley Cup Playoffs and Cup Celebrations
3) Your home (favorite) team
4) Ovechkin
5) The class, "down to earth" nature, and kindness of the players
6) Highlight reel goals
7) Big hits
8) Watching the Leafs and Leaf fans self implode
9) The overall history of the NHL or history of a particular franchise
10) The excellence of the NHL management (Mr. Bettman and crew)
11) Crosby
12) Everything except Crosby
13) Enjoying the nutritious and affordable food and drinks at the rink
14) Brian Burke, Colin Cambell, Chris Simon, Steve Downie, Ray Emery, and Pronger
15) The speed of the game
16) Great playmaking
17) The coaching dynamic and the chess match that occurs between coaches
18) Betting on the games
19) Don Cherry or another hockey face/voice
20) An excuse for beer
21) Arguing over who is the best player, the best team, or the best hockey country
22) The traditional SC Playoff handshake
23) The NHL Draft
24) The Masterton Trophy or other heroic stories of NHL players
25) Hockey rivalries
