Obviously I'm biased...but I just find hockey to be a superior sport to the "American Past-time" that is the MLB. Case in point...the Yankees broke out the champaign after a LOSS to clinch the division title. SIX TEAMS win a division in baseball. Last I checked, hockey players only celebrate ONE THING this hard and that's the Stanley Friggin Cup:

Oh...and on top of that:
-Steriods
-Baseball wimps who skip a game because they had to play the previous night (aka Manny Ramirez). Would like to see those chumps try and play NHL hockey on back-to-back nights
-Guys like Ryan Smyth who come back to assist on a playoff OT winner after having the majority of their front-teeth knocked out by a flying puck
-hockey fights compared to baseball "hissy-fits" when a batter charges the mound.
