I think the hockey goal gets me going more then any other type of score in sports. It's just so sudden and especially with the Caps it's greeted very well by the team. In football usually you have an idea of when a TD is coming so you can anticipate it, Soccer the goal is pretty big and even though they have "hockey type goals" you usually have a pretty good idea it's coming. Baseball also has that level of anticipation. Basketball is a scoring in bunches type sport. Hockey is the only sport it seems where so many scores come in a flash and when they happen you can't help but get excited.

It's not that hard. You just need to have a level of flexibility on par with a ballet dancer and a reaction time that pushes the limits of human nature.
