Elimination overtime is the most stressful thing in sports.

Hockey is the only sport where you know 100% that the game is going to end in a split second.

- Football allows for two possessions in some cases (all cases in college)

- Basketball is a timed period.

- Baseball allows both teams a chance to bat

- Soccer, in most cases, is not sudden death.

All of these sports have the POSSIBILITY of a sudden ending, but only hockey offers the GUARANTEE of it, which is amazing for a neutral and terrifying when you have a rooting interest in the outcome.
