OT - Any big hockey fans on ISH?

[Heavincent]

No offense, but Hockey is BY FAR the most boring sport to watch next to Soccer.

You just ice skate and try to score. The puck rarely goes it. You just see pushing and shoving for a long ass time.

Only good thing about Hockey is the fights.

It's funny when people degrade a sport by simplifying it to a ridiculous degree.

"Basketball is boring. It's just a bunch of dudes trying to throw a ball in a hoop and there is hardly any physical contact. Only good thing about basketball is the dunks"

A lot of lame, ill-informed and ignorant answers so far. About what I'd expect from this shit board.

Hockey requires ten times more skill than basketball.

Then take your ass to http://www.hockeyforums.net/

Why are you on here if you think this board is 'shit'

Its fun to watch because you actually see guys scoring the ball, unlike hockey where you see a point every 10 minutes.

This.

One of the biggest examples of this is tennis. If you're a casual sports fan and flip channels, land on a tennis match, you're very likely not going to like it. But if you play tennis, have a decent understanding of the game, and know how impressive the stuff the pros do is, tennis can be a joy to watch. 140mph serves, constant rapid motion, it's pretty damn exciting when you're watching the right players.

Every sport has its value, it's just not readily apparent to everyone.

Its just my opinion. I think hockey is boring.

I enjoy Basketball, Football and sometimes Baseball.

This is an NBA forum, you're the dumbass for posting a hockey thread .

[DukeDelonte13]

Mario Tennis made me appreciate tennis, as sad as that is.

Who is/has been watching the best sport and the best playoffs so far?

What have you enjoyed?

Who do you want to win?

My prediction is it will be L.a Kings vs Montreal with kings taking it in 6 in the stanley cup finals

That's fine. I didn't mean to come off as a dick. I just think you oversimplified hockey a little bit.

Panthers fan here.

The team is probably universally shitted on/desired to be relocated (basically the Bucks of the NHL) but I still love the beautiful game.

You got the #1 pick in a pretty good draft your team will come around soon enough and you got a great goalie in lu!

The opposite end of this is that there's no point to watching the first three quarters of basketball. Everything before the last few minutes of game feels irrelevant. In hockey, every score counts.

90's Trapping style Hockey really killed the game for this generation of fans. The game has become more exciting and free flowing since then but fans are set to thinking Hockey is boring.

Heck even low scoring games are exciting in the NHL if the scoring opportunities are there but goaltending is sharp.

Playoff hockey is exciting, the intensity is unmatched and there is nothing like sudden death overtime. The anticipation is what I enjoy the most about hockey.

Finally I don't understand how people view the game as a mad scramble or can't see the puck. I have the worst vision but have no issues seeing the puck.
