(1) HOCKEY SORCERY!
Submitted by @BryanAGraham. Won Week 37 of THIS WEEK IN GIFs with 1,165 votes. Received 1,137 votes in Round 1, and 890 votes in Round 2.
I like to think that HOCKEY SORCERY was the NHL's response to HOCKEY MASSACRE

Hockey Sorcery is the superior GIF, however I worry that if some IIR (Investigative Internet Reporter) discovers the explanation behind the GIF it will lose its luster. Such power rests on such uncertainty. C’est la vie.

I was watching HOCKEY SORCERY! at work and my boss was suddenly standing over my shoulder. He appeared out of nowhere. Now I am afraid that HOCKEY SORCERY! has invaded my world. Please send help.

Via @KTLincoln. Won Week 47 of THIS WEEK IN GIFs with 420 votes. Received 856 votes in Round 1, and 580 votes in Round 2.
The 3B is walking nonchalantly away from the bag and the deliberateness with which Kinsler plops his foot down on the bag tell me the slide wasn’t even necessary to begin with.
