yeah yeah
I am beginning to think, that I like another sport other than football! :lol: Hockey seems to be my new fancy. I swear it must be the contact and roughness of it all. :lol: In all serriousness though- I would like to learn some more about it, cause I think I could get to like it more. :smile:

I was watching colorado and st louis the other night. St. Louis played a pretty mean game- which I enjoyed. :smile:

How are these particular teams doing this year? Are they worth watching, and are they worth taking the time to deal with?

Ducks?
St Louis (forgot their name)
Caps?

You have to go to them live. They suck on TV, (but I still watch). If you go to one game you will be hooked.

St Louis Blues

I am a Penguins fan, but there aint much for me to cheer about. A Ducks, Penguins, Redwings, Stars would all be good games to go to.

It was great when we they had the Icebreakers (ECHL) but they are gone. I still go home and watch the Johnstown Chiefs.

Exactly what Dan said! I've never been into hockey, nor did I watch it on TV. Went to a live game a couple of years back and would LOVE to go to another one! Blood, teeth and fists were flying!!!!

It only sucks if you don't understand the game. That sounds like a woman's perspective.

I agree, live is much better. There is alot of stuff that happens "behind the play" that never makes it on camera because it is too far from the puck.

Case in point: At a caps game several years ago one of the Capitals was pretty badly smashed up by an opposing player, but no penalty was called because everyone was looking the other way. For some "unknown" reason on the ensuing face-off one of the Capitals goons (a fellow named Simon) was lined up opposite the offending member of the opposing team. As soon as the puck was dropped, Simon laid him out and then served a double minor penalty for roughing, but everyone felt that justice had been served. cold. The point is that you would never have understood that from the TV coverage.

Check out www.washingtoncaps.com for their Hockey101 course. Looks like a good way to learn about the game and meet a few of the players.:cheers:

Hockey dork, thank you very much. Don't even get me started on how I think the game should be improved. It involves removing the very reason some people watch it for. Open up the ice and allow the skill players to do their thing. Penguin fans above others ought to agree.

Same thing happened to me back in 1996. I got tired of baseball (what with all the strikes and the ever slowing of the pace of the game), so I started watching hockey. I picked Colorado as my team because I was a new fan, and they were a new team. They won the Cup that year and I've been hooked ever since.

Now it ranks likes this:

1) Nascar
2) Hockey
3) Foozball
4) badminton
5) cribbage
6) baseball

Agreed. Also seems like their b@lls itch more these days :shrug:

Reminds me of the SNL skit where Jimmy Fallon and Rachel Dratch are doing their thing and he turns around wearing his jersey and yells, "Nommaaa".

It's funnier if you actually see it. I like the one where Britney Spears is churning butter. Made me wanna churn some butter too:twitch:

I was a dedicated Pirates fan until the strikes came along. I thought I was alone until I stated watching games every now and again and saw that the only people in the seats are behind home plate.
