Something else that should be watched and cheered for is female olympic hockey. the Womens teams from canada and USA have had some really epic games running up to sochi and they've gotten into some vicious fights. they've also been playing in the gold medal games more often then not.

Who the fuck told you about spermakola. that was a dark time in my life I don't like talking about.

its not as interesting as men's hockey because
In women's hockey canada and the usa are miles better than every other team.

in every world championship and olympic games (except 2006) the Gold Medal or Championship is decided by a single game between Canada and the USA.

If Canada plays the USA in the preliminary round the result means very little because both teams end up in the gold medal game any way.

so for the women's tourney there is really only 1 game worth watching.

in men's hockey any one of 6 teams could win and even Canada/Switzerland and Sweden/Belarus games have an uncertain winner.

watching women's hockey is better than watching the NHL regular season though.

Women's hockey is lol. Straight up a men's high school hockey team can take on any top women's hockey team. My bad they did.

Yep. Just don't bite we don't need his other accounts coming on to continue the argument.
Y'know sometimes people ask me y'know like "What's your religion and stuff?" And I'm like "y' know it's like RTS." Uh, and they're like, "What's that?" And I'm like, "Y'know it's kinda like, kinda like Buddism."

the NHL's #1 TV Money source ( Rogers ) owns FAN 590 in TO.

any one of half a dozen of the FAN590's hockey guys (former players, coaches and GMs) think regular season NHL hockey is as boring as watching paint dry.

the ice surface is too small for the ever growing player.

fortunately, the olympics is played on 200X100.

women's hockey is more entertaining to watch than NHL regular season hockey.
all i am is the only one on this forum saying it...

try talking to other hard core HOCKEY ( notice i didn't say NHL ) fans.
its an opinion held by many.

Just like Canadian players beat out the Americans in Starcraft, so will the Canadians reign supreme in the world of hockey.

It's an opinion held by nobody because their are only two nations that can ice competent teams. So the only place you can watch women's ice hockey is NCAA (its bad.) or the Olympics. I'm sure the USA/Canada gold medal game will be good but that's the only one that will be.

The reason NHL regular season games are boring is the same reason a standard MLB game sucks. In the grand scheme of things it alone is totally meaningless until late March or early April. And alot of games are played between terrible teams (Buffalo/Edmonton tonight is a great example of a worthless game). Those same guys who hate the regular season analyze the living hell out of every single shift during the playoffs.

Female figure skating is actually the main event of the olympics for me.

Because its slower and less attractive to look at? I guess its easier to see the puck.

MLB?
wrong.

for most of baseball's history its all about the 7 day a week grind.
the necessity for a deep starting staff etc.

hockey is not a 7 day a week sport with a 5 man goalie rotation.

MLB regular season means something because so few teams get into the playoffs.
NEVER in NHL history have fewer than 50% of the teams qualified for the playoffs making the NHL regular season have less meaning.

so you get stuff like "The Shot Heard Round the World"
nothing like that ever happens in the regular season NHL.
