Hockey is one of those sports that always surprises me that it has a huge following. Like yeah, of course it does it's a popular sport, but on the other hand who is watching boxing soccer ice skaters???

Not really a habs fan, but because they are literally the local team it is written in my genetic code.

However I would like to imagine that you pegged my locale just with my hierarchy of hockey rivalries and nothing else.

Bird and I have already said this, multiple times and as clearly as possible, but this thread is not a substitute for QCS, and endlessly litigating recent events wouldn't be productive or helpful even if QCS were currently open.

The remit of this thread is pretty clear; we've allowed for some topical slop because the forums have been wholly occupied by a single blazing elephant, but that's really enough for now, at least as far as this thread is concerned.

I much prefer to ask nicely and see the community right itself, but probations are coming for people who can't or won't drop this subject here.

Thanks Pastry

You describe a sport like this and you wonder who'd want to watch it?

It's so much faster paced than soccer, which makes it fun to watch, unlike, you know, soccer.

Honestly womens olympic/world cup hockey tends to be my choice if I had to chose what hockey to watch. Certainly moreso than the NHL. If you've never really gotten hockey, try watching a womens world cup or olympic game.



Personally, I'm a fan of the truest Canadian sport.
Curling.

Hockey is better than soccer because the flopping is real (dude just got slammed into the boards at high speed).

College hockey is also a lot of fun. I went to UConn, and my freshman year we had a terrible team but an amazing goalie. I can really sum up both sides of that with "he stopped 74 out of 75 shots in a game once".

The sound of someone getting waffled into the boards is part of why I goddamn love hockey. So satisfying.

It's easy enough when it's Original Six teams. I couldn't begin to tell you what team someone who hates the Predators the most would be, and that's in my division.

It’s like trying to figure out where someone is from based on the fact someone hates the Devils, they’re from NJ, of course all right-thinking people hate them.

My guess is either right above or below the Rangers.

I apologized, and pointed out that when I made those posts, I was dealing with a medical emergency where my insurance was loving up and I couldn't get my brain pills. Nothing actually happened, nothing was actually made. I have new meds now, and am not the same person I was six months ago. Literally A Bird said I was allowed back, as well.

Hockey is far and away the most entertaining and coolest professional sport. And during the playoffs it kicks up to a whole different level.

For instance, this happened in that same game I just linked:

Which lead to him getting stitched up in the locker room and heading right back out there, which lead to one of the greatest Stanley Cup Trophy pictures of all time:
