I understand just the basic game, not the nuances. I could be wrong, but I have to say our guys looked pretty lethargic for most of the game. I was kind of in disbelief.
One thing I don't like about hockey: You blink and you can miss a goal, at least on TV (thank goodness for slow-mo instant replay). I do like attending hockey games in person. We Connecticut residents are still angry that the Hartford/New England Whalers left town years ago, however. ;-)
For my money hockey on TV sucks.
However Hockey live is one of the most exciting things a human can ever watch.
And to rub salt into the wound they go an win the Stanley Cup soon after.
Agreed. It's a wonder the cameramen can follow. My hubby said the only place to watch it is live.
