I think the handshake after the playoff game is what makes hockey such a fantastic sport and the only other sports that come to mind on off the top of my head that do it are wrestling and tennis. I understand that one team or person has to lose and they are probably not in the best of moods right after a tough battle, but taking a few second to shake an opponents hand who you have just battled for 60 minutes is just good sportsmanship if not nothing else. There is no need to gloat if you won or no need to not shake the hand if you lose. Just do it out of good sportsmanship and move on.
