4 offensive starters are out while the Patriots get access to Edelman and Gordon. I'm still debating watching the game instead of doing something that less resembles self harm.

Randaconda posted:wtf is hockey Imagine with me for a moment. A sheet of ice sized a certain way, with paint laid in it for lines. Put 12 men on the ice with skates, two of which has more padding than your average NFL lineman does, and tell them to shoot a small, black, rubber disc into a goal behind the padded out dude on the other team. Oh and it's full contact (within reason, natch), and you can (and this happened last season) an entire period of play without a commercial!  I'm not joking about the no commercial thing though. NHL rules specify a commercial after 6, 10, and 14 minutes have passed game time wise in the period. You can't have a commercial during a man advantage for any team, after a goal, or after an icing call. After 6 minutes had passed, all the whistles were either a goal or an icing, so there were no commercial breaks at all. They also use the commercials to scrape up some of the shaved ice to keep the game going a bit quicker. iospace fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Oct 4, 2018 |

The downside being, of course, a much less exciting and typically low scoring affair similar to soccer.

0-0 games can be stupidly exciting, especially when it's because both goalies are on top of their game. It's also much more fast paced than football (both US and Association), so the comparison falls flat hard.

In hockey, when a guy falls down clutching his face you can expect a Kurusawa-esque fountain of blood. When the same thing happens in soccer, you can expect some Italian to writhe on the ground until the refs dutifully wave around some colored piece of plastic.

Soccer is a bad comparison but gently caress if I don't get bored out of my skull every time I try to watch the Flyers. So much "Are they going to shoot? Nope." Maybe I've had bad luck.

I think a lot of us prefer sports where you can't lose five 3 hour games in a row and still have it not mean that much in the long run.
