I was going to vote, but couldn't find the button for the Stanley Cup Finals.
Totally agree, the Stanley finals for me are by far the most entertaining sporting event

with the WC a close second.
[/QUOTE]But is the fact that you find it entertaining enough for it to be called the Greatest? Like, objectively? Can a tournament that only involves two countries and a sport that a large proportion of the world does not play or are interested in be the greatest?

I'm interested in what the Greatest event is, not your favourite. Was that not clear? You could easily recognise objectively that a certain event is hugely influential, popular, spectacular, etc., without personally enjoying watching it or liking the sport that it involves. Like, my favourite band might totally be Lee Press-on and the Nails, but if I were to vote on the Greatest Band Ever I would probably give the nod to the Beatles or the Stones or something, recognising that their influence, talent, longevity, etc. is what is relevant, not just that I personally like to listen to Lee and the boys. You know?
