...sentiment the NHL wants to promote, but it's a big part of the equation. You can't get it in baseball, basketball or football, and yet that's rarely trumpeted in the marketing. Hockey is a graceful but aggressive game that can elevate to and just as quickly retreat from physical hostilities at the drop of a puck. That's exciting to watch because it's passionate.

According to strategist Lazlo Birinyi, who has long used technical factors to determine whether stocks are a good investment, in 23 of the past 24 bull markets stocks have risen for an average of 194 days before falling more than 10%.
