The Best Minute In Sports

The best minute in sports is the last minute of a game in the National Hockey League with one of the teams behind a goal. The team that is losing waits until the time is right to pull their Goalie and add an extra skater to the ice in order to pepper the opposing Goalie with shots hoping to tie the score. The team that is leading has an unopposed open net at the other end of the ice just beckoning to be shot at. The leading team's primary purpose is to get it out of their zone to kill some time whether they score or not. The majority of the time pulling the Goalie does not work and the leading team either gets an empty net goal or they win the game by one goal. When pulling the Goalie does work, it is a thing of chaos and beauty. It is just a mad scramble to put the puck in the net and the most exciting minute in sports.
