Three words: Overtime playoff hockey.
To a fan of skates, pucks and sticks, there's simply nothing better.
Though other sports also decide postseason games with extra time when needed, none put their players through a physical and emotional grind that matches what can occur on a 200-foot sheet of ice.
Sometimes an OT goal simply ends a game. Other times it wins a series.
And in the most special of circumstances, a tally in an extra session clinches a championship.
In fact, no fewer than 17 Stanley Cups have been won in a sudden-death scenario.
