It always seemed silly to me to play hockey in places where there is plenty of dry land and soccer could be played instead...

Imagine if they started having martial arts tournaments in between the periods in soccer. Hockey would be obselete!

The rangers were f-ing terrible last night. I basically stopped watching in the 3rd period and seeded that bfast show.

They seem to be the exact same shitty team that ended last season (I thought they played really well begining of last year). No one shots the puck except for shanahan (man is he good. his caliber of play is so much higher than anyone on the team including jagr) they always hold on to the puck to long and Nielander needs someone to knock him on his ass next time he tries to skate around and around with the puck.

Defense has been a joke. I actually thought Weeks played better than lundquist has all season when they lost to Buffalo. He at least made some really big saves (the score would have been way worse) but that was before the Devils game. He palyed pretty good against the devils but man the rangers are really playing bad hockey. hope they can turn it around or it will be a long season to watch

Soccer ? even less people watch soccer in the US then Hockey.

Soccer is pretty much teh ghey. I watch the World Cup and that is supposed to be the best of the best and the sport is just lame. A bunch of whiney flamboyant "guys" diving at every chance and complaining to the refs. And dont get me started on the rules. Overtime is not sudden death (you just watched 90mins of tied soccer and they let the other team have a chance to come back WTF is that ?) and if no one wins in the allotted time. They play an entirely different game to determine a winner (like Hockey does now in the regular season which is so f-ing LAME) Penalty Kicks. Thats like watching the NBA and if it is tied after overtime they say screw it and play horse

Yeah, there is no comparison between hockey and soccer.  I cannot watch soccer on TV, but flip on any hockey game....i\'ll watch it.  Come on, I even sit through my friends\' roller hockey games...and trust me, they can get pretty BAD.  IF anyone is looking for a fun hobby, teams are getting together already for the spring at The Rinks in Shelton, CT.

Ya, last night kinda sucked but I don\'t think it was that bad. Vokoun was great, he stopped 38 f\'n shots, if they can keep that up, they\'ll win more than they lose. The problems were the same I mentioned before: powerplay sucks (3 5-on-3\'s and no goals, c\'mon guys, move around a little!), defense was slow but wasn\'t getting much help from the forwards, and Lundqvist was average. The part of the game I really didn\'t like was the thrid period coaching. The 4th line of Dawes-Ward-Hossa was actually playing quite well and they basically got benched for the period in favor of the first lines and Prucha got benched for "lack of production", I don\'t see Straka doin much more! How long is 37-yr-old Shanahan gonna last playin over 20 minutes a night? Roszival and Malik did nothing to warrant that kind of icetime either. Jason Ward and Shanahan are my favorite players right now, if their work ethic can rub off on the rest of the team they can be great.

Senators in 6. Dany Heatly wins the Conn Smythe and dedicates his immaculate play in the playoffs to whoever that guy was he killed with his ferrari when he was still with Atlanta. You can quote me on this, makes for a great feel good story about how much he has faced since the accident and how he has matured, blah, blah.

Ducks win the first game and what a game it was!
I don\'t watch Hockey until the playoffs usually and this year I actually have a decent reason to watch the Finals.

yea, hockey still blows as dave put it, but hockey is shown on vs, and in another month and a half, the tour de france will be shown on the same channel, so hockey, you\'re alright in my book simply by association with a real sport like cycling.

oh, and bring back the whale. :biggrin:

Paul -
Since when is cycling a real sport and hockey not?  I personally don\'t watch cycling because to me it\'s boring to watch on TV, but does it make it any less of a sport?  But I\'m interested to know why hockey is not a real sport.  I guess that you can compare the two sports by saying that you cannot fully appreciate it unless you\'ve actually taken part in a game/race

If we\'re going to attack a sport, let\'s join forces and attack curling (a bunch people playing shuffle board with an oversized stone on ice) or GOLF!

And don\'t expect the whale to come back - the Hartford Failures did nothing when they were in CT, but have succeeding as the Hurricanes.

I know, I actually don\'t mind watching hockey games although like most sports I\'d rather go to a game than watch it on tv.

Cycling is all about the endurance. 30 days of endurance, non stop, 6-8 hours a day going as fast as you can while going up and down mountains, sometimes as many as 5 in one day. Personally, there is no sport out there that can compair itself to what those guys put themselves through.
