I agree, there is what about 10 minutes of action in your average 3hr NFL game...its kind of like hockey only much much slower...

 

[chris357]

how often do football players catch foot balls with their unprotected faces and loose 7 teeth.. and then go back into the game in less then 2 minutes

Ahh, football - where "real" men spend half the game bent over, while wearing tights and the only guy standing up, has his hands in the crack of some other guys butt....NTTAWWT....

I can't find the video (dammit), let alone the quotes, but I think the hardest I've ever laughed watching network TV was when Chris Rock hosted the Nat X show. Once he had Kevin Bacon playing Vanilla Ice as guest star. I am going off memory from many years ago, and I may get em wrong, and out of order:

Top 5 reasons why blacks don't play ice hockey:

5. Afraid of getting gold tooth knocked out!
4. Afraid of white man with sticks!
3. Afraid of white man with mask!
2. It's cold out there!
1. Do not feel the need to dominate yet another sport!

Nat X was awesome!

Poor Duncan Keith...and he was wearing a mouthguard at the time..... I hope the Hawks organization offer a good dental plan....

You guys are a riot. Sorry, but I just can't get into hockey. I'd actually rather watch soccer, that's how boring it is to me.

If you're so into blood and fighting, why not just watch UFC?

 

[just-some-guy]

i too find hockey boring. but, the playoff games were quite exciting !
lots of action and scoring.

here in chicago, there are 2 camps :
those glad it is done and won in 6 = don't take any chances.
and those that wish it had gone to 7 so it could have, presumably/probably, been won here in chicago.... i am of this camp. as, if this had happened, chicago would have gone APP **** !!! as it is, we are just happy.

CONGRATS HAWKS !!!!!!!!!

Darien87 hockey is a game of controlled chaos, it's great to watch but even better when you play nothing say's welcome to the game till you take an open ice check from someone going over 20mph. Goaltenders are a special breed it takes a certain type of nutcase to stand in between the pipes while pucks are flying at you at 80+mph. I have watched UFC it's to slow for my taste hockey is UFC on skates.

I enjoy football (NFL & NCAA and from t-t the CFL) but what really separates the NFL from other sports is the tailgate parties and gambling IMHO. I know hockey is a niche sport in the USA but in the real hockey markets in the Eastern States it easily rivials the NBA or MLB in local ratings( don't believe me look it up) but to say its boring you just don't understand the game or have ever played it, but your entitled to your opinion. As for soccer hah...I won't touch that but I will certainly watch the world cup because I enjoy all of the major sports....FWIW .

You're probably on to something there. I have indeed never played hockey. You just don't come across it very much growing up in sunny San Diego. I have played broom ball, and that's HELLA fun. But what makes that fun is everybody slipping and falling on their *** while people are slamming your unprotected shins with a broom.

I also did play soccer growing up, which probably influences my love of the game.

But I'll give this to you, hockey fans are REALLY into the sport. I had some friends that always tried to get me to go to San Diego Gulls games, but I never did. I did buy a San Diego Barracudas jersey back when there was that roller-hockey league, but that was just because I liked the logo.

Just got back from the Rally, it was hot as hell out there I should have worn a Hawks T-shirt instead of a jersey. I watched a few people pass out and a kid puked because of the heat and humidity, other than that it was cool. Rich Daley was booed and so was the governor when they came up to speak, at least Rocky wasn't had it been his father, fans would have thrown things at him. Kane looked hung-over or maybe he was still drunk, I like the fact that Rocky made amends with the Hawk legends. Before I forget, man the puck bunnies where out in full force today they might have been holding their rally at the same time Well I had a good time with my wife and daughter I hope we get to go to another Hawks Rally, I just hope it won't take another 49yrs to see.
