Hockey, to me, is the best sport to watch period. Unlike many other sports, there is a constant element of danger, chance, and excitement in every play. Each time a puck is dropped, a pass made, or a hit delivered, there's a chance that something magical can happen. In baseball, the pace of play is so incredibly slow that you could be waiting a while before something unexpected happens. In football, there is an element of danger but usually its a long, sustained series of events. In soccer, the pitch is simply too large for something to happen quickly. And that is no to say that all these sports are exciting to watch or that the players involved aren't supremely talented. It is just that, in hockey, the whole game could flip at any moment. A huge save, a breakaway, a power play in the offensive zone. So many little inflection points that make it a joy to watch.
