The Handshake Line
Often lost in the exuberance of victory or agony in defeat among fans following Stanley Cup Playoff series is the handshake that players participate in after the final game is over. For about a minute and 30 seconds, the players put away what just happened on the ice and shake hands with their opponents, congratulating them on a job well done and wishing them well as they move towards either the next round or the golf course. Players are often seen laughing or smiling, no matter what side they are on. This is one of the grandest traditions in sports, and is something the NHL prides itself on.
