Nothing beats OT hockey, but I guess the goal itself isnt always exciting

Hail Mary is more about luck than good execution.

I'd go with a buzzer beater. In the postseason those are always awesome. Walkoff hr would be a close 2nd.

Nothing even comes close to OT hockey, it's infinitely superior to OT in football.

All of them are exciting, but honestly a hail mary in football is less so than hockey or a buzzer beater.

Hell, that poll doesn't even say if it's a completed hail mary, if it's a close game, or what.

Any one who says Hail Mary is an asshole.

Walk off Homer is without a doubt the best, followed by a buzzer beater.

Hail Mary is fucking stupid, almost always is intercepted, and requires stupid luck to pull off.

>>16076798
Mah nigga

walk off homer. the boringness actually works in baseball's favor. the long pauses between pitches only builds the suspense, plus given that batters only succeed 30% of the time it makes it ten times more exciting when something awesome actually does happen.

I'd say:
1. Ot hockey
2. Walkoff HR
3. Buzzer beater
4. Random hail mary pass

>furpuck

lol, no one gives a fuck

>Kentucky and Kansas caring most about basketball

yeah, it's cause the NBA hasn't ruined the sport for them

4th and goal>>>>>>>>Hail Mary

>>16076868
>>16076868
Actually, let me correct that
1. OT Hockey
2. Walkoff HR
3. Buzzer Beater

90000000002. Hail Mary for no reason, with no context, and possibly not even completed

>>16076812

>implying luckswing is not luck
>implying throwing a ball at a hoop with a circumference slightly larger than the ball from a couple dozen meters away is not luck

>>16076909
Definitely. Hail mary's are exciting if they're made and if it's a close game.

Otherwise they're nothing more than an incomplete pass, except they're a lot more wild and luck based than any other pass.

>>16076753

>Kansas, Kentucky and Connecticut voting basketball

Ok, I get that

>Hawaii

What??

OT hockey goals hold a special place for me as a Blackhawks fan. Kane putting one in to win the Stanley Cup was pretty much the best moment in sports ever for me.

It shouldn't just be OT goal in hockey, it should be a SH OT goal, or even a 5-3 SH OT goal.

>>16076918
you're pretty stupid

>>16076753
>>16076753
>South Dakota and North Dakota choosing baseball

Twins fans are best fans.

Walk off homer > OT hockey = buzzer beater > Hail Mary

>>16076965
That goal was fucking awful though.

why are overtime goals even there? that happens about twice every night in the nhl

OT goal doesn't end the game though, and isn't that rare

>>16077020
Post season OT goal, not just overtime goals in general. Read the question.

>>16077029
Overtime goals do end the game.

lol at all the furpuckfags

>oh, it's obviously hockey

looks like all of America disagrees with you

1. 5-3 Short Handed OT goal in Game 7 of SCF
2. Bottom of 9th down by 3 full count, grand slam in Game 7 of WS
3. 90 yard TD as time expires when down by 6 points in the Super Bowl
4. Three Point buzzer beater to win by a point in Game 7 OT of NBA Finals

>>16076981
>5-3 SH OT goal
I don't think you know how overtime works.

>>16076965
The best for me was no doubt sidney crosby scoring in the 7th minute of overtime at the Olympic hockey tournament, going five hole on miller. God that overtime was intense.

>>16077079
Playoff OT is 5 on 5. I don't think you know how it works.

>>16077029

A lot of america disagrees with evolution.

Shows how much a lot of america knows.

killeveryoneinthisthread.jpg

Did they really have to tell you specifically that the Hail Mary they're referring to is a completed touchdown pass? Really? You can't figure anything out in context? Jesus.

>>16077060
>implying a bottom of the 9th, down by 3, full count, two out inside the park grand slam wouldn't be better than any of those

Walk off HR is easily the best way to win a game

>even mentioning hail mary

They should have said field goal

1 and 2 are right but in the wrong order. A walk of is in itself WINNING the game, a hail mary is not

Everyone is assuming the hail mary is not completed, but the poll is asking which of these is the most exciting when it happens.

All of them are exciting in their own way. Buzzer beaters are exciting because the clock is running down and there's that moment of silence before or after the buzzer goes off while the ball is in the air, and then there's an explosion of cheers and celebration when it goes in.

Hail Mary is self explanatory. Those are just fucking crazy. I can't imagine what it would be like if a playoff game ending like that.

Most of the excitement of hockey comes from the players flying around before the goal itself.

Any kind of hit in a clutch situation in baseball is very exciting. A walk off home run is even better.

It's very hard to put one over another but if I had to rank them I'd say Buzzer beater > Walk off > Hail Mary > Hockey

>>16077098
To be fair the post i quoted was saying nothing about playoffs and i completely derped on the post season part of the OP picture.

sorry about that. carry on.

>Kansas
>Buzzerbeater
You best believe dat dawg.

>>16077107

>this furpuckfurfag mad

>>16077160
field goals aren't exciting

that's like listing a walk-off single for baseball.

>>16077237
that didn't end the game though

>>16077014
I agree the goal was shit, but it won my team the Cup. Cubs won't ever have a win that important, since they will never see the World Series while I'm alive. I think the best Chicago has to offer in excitement is a run back touchdown like the opening kick in the 2006 superb owl

gonna have to agree with the hockey OT goal being last but not by THAT much. the excitement comes from the OT periods themselves.

1. walk off
2. buzzer beater
3. hail mary
4. ot goal

Hockey playoff overtime itself is fucking awesome, but the goals are often terrible because they're usually the result of an awful mistake due to fatigue that wouldn't have gone in during regulation.

>>16077303
bitch we Theo now

also check them

>>16076981
>hail mary greater than anything
HAHAHAHAHHAHA no.

Oh look, a random hail mary, no context to it whatsoever (maybe it's completed, maybe it's not, maybe it's a close game, maybe it's not)

Hail mary's happen all the time, they aren't that exciting unless it's made, the game is close, and the hail mary wins it. Otherwise, who gives a shit?

Walkoff homer way more exciting, OVertime hockey is infinitely superior to overtime in any other sport, a buzzer beater is mindblowingly exciting.

But oh, look, some guy lobbed a ball in the air, and may or may not have just thrown an interception while down by 20 points. Allow me to lose my shit.

>>16077020

Same with buzzer beaters...

Also it says postseason, retard

I would rank OT goal last. I would rank shootout goal for all the marbles 2, behind walk off homerun

Hail marry is pretty much just rolling the dice and hoping

The problem with OT goals in hockey is it isn't a buildup to a singular event that creates drama. It can happen at any time and if the OT period ends, you play another. In baseball, you know in the build up of a player coming up to bat what happens if he scores. In basketball/football, you know the clock is about to run out.

There is a much bigger build up in the other 3 than hockey

>walk off HBP not #1
>implying a Reggie Miller style last 15 seconds of a basketball game isn't GOAT

but OT hockey is great, I'll give you that. Of the four major sports, they do OT the best

>>16077473
which is essentially the problem with hockey in general

I guess it's just that hockey isn't as popular as the other sports, but ot goal is by far the most dramatic and exciting out of these. Well, maybe not that far ahead of walk off hr, but still...

Probably OT goal in hockey

The fact that it's so sudden....the whole time you're on the edge of your seat waiting for it

>>16077495
Walkoff balk > walkoff hbp

Hockey is in no way my favorite sport but probably an overtime goal BECAUSE the period of time leading up to that goal produces the most tense, anxious, apprehensive feelings throughout the entire arena. The goal is like a cathartic release of all that pressure. Other sports, of course, can match that exact sequence in ways, but overtime goals in hockey are consistently frenzied.

As far as a play being exciting in and of itself? Probably a hail-mary.

>>16077473
>Implying there is no buildup during an OT goal
That's why it's more exciting, the buildup is sudden, and short.

You fully realize someone is on a breakaway, they have about 3-5 seconds where everyone knows it's down to the goalie and the shooter.

And that's game.

this is why hockey is last

>>16077367

All of these are assuming it's to win the game you fucking inbred retard. You could use your argument for everything other than "Walk-off homer" but that's only because the context is in the name.

>oh awesome he made a shot as time expired, too bad his team was losing 102-85 in game 7

And the whole reason that Hail Mary's are completely random and luck is the reason they are superior. Because you never see them and because they are so improbable, seeing a Hail Mary win a game is infinitely more exciting

>mfw all these "OT goal isn't the exciting part, it's the build up"

Congratulations amerifats, you figured it out. Now you know why 99% of the world likes soccer so much.

I'm proud of you guys

>>16077586
you don't lose the game by missing the shot though

I like the walk off homerun not for the long ball, but the inevitable camera close up of the pitcher. The long walk of shame to the dug out with his eyes on the ground. You know it's his fault, everyone in the stadium knows its his fault and most importantly he knows its his fault. If you're lucky and I mean real lucky, we might see a tear fall.

>>16077621
the buildup to 0-0 is exciting?

>>16077586
It's funny that you would post that. Breakaway goals are exciting, because that's the only time ockey has anything in common with the other sports. It's a one on one situation with a defined beginning and end. THAT'S what makes it exciting, and why most of the time, when the goal comes from some random deflection that we need several replays to see, hockey is seen as boring and luck-based.

>>16077495
I think we can all agree that the NFL's overtime is by far the worst pile of shit in sports.

Football does not lend itself to a single "winner take all" situation. If two teams have piss-poor defenses, but god-tier offenses, then whoever wins the coin-toss is going to go into rape mode.
Yet the team with an equally good offense never gets to face the other team's equally bad defense.
It's absurd.

>>16077621
>99% of the world likes soccer
You wisb

>no 18-1
>no Golden Goal

>>16077621
Nice try, but no.

Absolutely retarded, bro.
Saying any sport is "luck" is absolutely retarded.

>>16077595

Confirmed for autistic faggot that has never seen OT playoff hockey.

>>16077695
Overtime hockey uses the golden goal rule.

>>16077672

wat

also teams with bad defenses usually don't get far in the playoffs

>>16077672
>A team's offense never gets to face the other team's defense
Nigga wut

>>16077621

Don't be arrogant. This thread has nothing to do with soccer and we either (a) already understand why the world plays it, or usually, (b) don't give a damn. Honestly, you don't need to assert your sport whenever we're discussing the components of ours. It's not necessary, were fine with what we've got. Please.

>>16077672

>I think we can all agree that the NFL's overtime is by far the worst pile of shit in sports.

Oh god, yes. It makes no fucking sense.

>>16077595
>>16077762
Do you guys just not understand football or do you not understand the scenario I laid out?
Two teams with porous defenses but god-tier offenses are facing each other in overtime.

One or the other will win the coin-toss. That team will rape the bad defense they're up against, and since OT is winner-takes all, they will win.

Yet this never allows the equally good offense of the losing team to face the equally bad defense of the winning team.

It becomes a game decided by a coin.

It's garbage.

3 most exciting moments in American sports history
1. Donovan 2010 world cup goal in extra time
2. Legendary Rapinoe cross and Wambach header goal in extra time womens world cup
3. The entire game 6 of 2011 world series

Prove me wrong. Now that you realize you can't, you realize the top 2 moments are courtesy of soccer. Are you believers yet amerifats?

>>16077902

Stop shitting up the thread, dude. Nobody likes a bad troll.

If a hail mary actually works, it's that, but it's so rare to see one of those that actually succeeds, particularly in the playoffs where you tend to have better(read: smarter) teams.

Can you imagine the shitstorm if a team one a playoff game, or hell, the Super Bowl, on a hail mary?

Of the ones that actually happen on a regular basis...overtime hockey hands down.

>>16077940

What's with all these autismal tards throwing around the term "go-ahead" as an adjective for any play in the last 6 or 7 years?

>>16078665
Go-ahead just means it was the score that gave them the lead. What do you mean?

>furpuck

That being said, hockey will never get many votes on ESPN because it just simply isn't as popular

So both teams deserve to lose? Yet only one is?

That;'s the point you half-retarded sack of shit. There is no equity in the NFL's Overtime.

But you're obviously barely skirting an IQ of 100 so I should stop trying to convince you.

hail mary lacks the intensity of a buzzer beater, not sure why that's voted so highly.

>>16079078
>100

Overtime hockey in the playoffs, easy.

Playoff hockey is the best situation in all of sports anyway.

Walk Off > Hockey OT Winner > Hail Mary > Buzzer Beater.

OT Hockey hands down. Even better if it's in the playoffs. That shits hella intense, it's like you're literally locked to your TV.

Hail Mary is by far the best purely because it hardly ever happens.

Being in a situation where you have to throw a hail mary is rare to begin with, and actually pulling one off successfully happens maybe once or twice a year between both pro football and college football.
