Thread: Any Hockey Fans Out There????

You should go to a game in person sometime. That's what got me hooked. It is so fast and so exciting when you're there at the arena.

If you sit to low in the stands you cannot see the puck on your side of the rink.

But if your sit behind the visitors bench you can hear that every other word out of their mouth is the F word.

It is also interesting to me that from my experience that their equipment is very used and worn and that their names on their uniforms are sewn on crooked.

I didn't notice these things on TV.

This ought to be a great game tonight. The #1 points leader against the #2 points leader.

Yeah there's a sweet spot between high and low. Section 1 is fun but not so much for watching the play as hearing the chirps and it really gives you a handle on just how fast and rough it is. It's really wild to sit close to the goal and watch those shots go by at 100+ MPH. You miss a lot being that low though. Section 3 you cam see everything but it's not as intense.

Being down low is fun if you like to trash talk the players. "HEY MCKINNON, YOU COME TO PLAY HOCKEY OR FIGURE SKATE? WHAT IS THIS THE GOLDEN GIRLS ON ICE?"

This time of year I find.myself checking scores of games between teams I care nothing about.

Gonnah be a great 3rd period... Tampa vs Bruins

Bruins beat The Panthers last night...Now dealing with Tampa on a back to back.

Let’s GO Bruins !..2-1 Tampa ,going into the 3rd

Great game for sure. Even better since the Lightning get the W. AND Kuch edges back in the lead in points.

We were in a Lent service and then dinner so I had to catch it on a replay. I saw Ness post and I didn't even open the thread because I figured he was posting to rub my nose in a loss. Nice surprise that.

Looks like the Bruins tanked the last 2 games....to Avoid Tampa in the first round...lol ..and it worked.

Bruins vs Toronto first round

So is it Fla vs Tampa ?

Hockey southern style. That ought to be a hell of an entertaining series. They usually try to beat the record for hits, fights and penalty minutes
