What??? Hockey is a great game! So many greats have played that sport. Such a smackdown at the 1980s Olympics too. That was like the sixth most awesome day of my life.

15 Hockey is a great game to watch in person. It just doesn't translate to TV well.

Posted by: Duke Lowell at January 18, 2014 01:00 PM (o9Rp5)

16 College hockey played at Div I level (like in the Big..Ten, or however many schools they have) is really pretty good. They don't tolerate all the fighting at all. The fighting and stuff in Big League hockey is supposed to make it a spectacle or something, but just takes away from the game, IMHO. The guys in the NHL are really good, but the product is entertainment in part, and not just the game.

I don't know about that. I got hooked on hockey watching it in grainy black and white back on WGN-Chicago in the 60s. I think they used to broadcast every Blackhawks game. Then it kind of went away for a while it seems.

I don't know about pro soccer, because those guys often look like a bunch of nancy boys, flopping around anytime an opponent breathes on them, but I've played more than my share of soccer. It's not a game for wusses.

That being said, yeah, hockey and soccer are essentially the same game, which is to say, there's really not any strategy when you're out there. It's barely organized chaos.

Yes, I know there is "some" strategy in hockey and soccer, but compared to other sports like baseball and football, there isn't much.

No, I haven't played much hockey, but I've played a ton of soccer. It's fun to play, boring to watch, and essentially hockey and soccer ARE the same game.

2" or less - STAY OFF

4" - Ice fishing or other activities on foot

5" - Snowmobile or ATV

8" - 12" - Car or small pickup

12" - 15" - Medium truck

124 Thanks, grammie. Based on that I imagine there had to be close to four inches of ice before we were allowed to skate. It was a night time thing, with the adults making fires in a couple of 55 gallon drums, marshmallows for kids to toast while we thawed out between bouts of skating. I don't suppose any of it is allowed these days, too many risks of lawsuits.

Just saw an article the other day that more NHL teams are selling out than NBA teams. I played hockey from peewees up through college where it became obvious that I was not going further due to a lack of speed and um, talent. But there were always rabid fans who came to watch and the attendance got higher the further north you played. Play in Canada and you will see amazing crowds for junior teams where fighting is verboten. Hockey has grown slowly in the US for the same reason soccer did. It wasn't one of "our" games and was only popular in pockets. If people don't know the sport, if they never played it or grew up around it, they don't understand it and think it is just a bunch of guys skating around after a piece of rubber and hitting each other. It is a game of great skill and yes, strategy.

189 173 You know ... my personal favorite was my '96 F-150. Standard cab, five speed manual, 6 cyl. 300 cubic inch. Great truck. Great truck. Only traded it when ScoggMis started putting out little ScoggDogs. Posted by: ScoggDog at January 18, 2014 06:14 PM (6/+vz) I had that truck, only it was an '89. Bought it new and drove it for 20 years. Finally parked it at 314,000 miles. Never had the valve cover off. It could still be fixed for about $300. Best truck I've ever owned.

193 Hockey always makes me realize how much things have deteriorated in a single generation. When I was a kid, my itty bitty town of 400 or something decided to build an outdoor rink for the hockey kids. It was free for everyone else to use as well. We all pretty much lived at that rink, with no adults anywhere to be seen. Now? Can you imagine if a town tried to set up an unsupervised ice rink? Hello, lawsuits!

194 >>Man #1: Did you know my wife is from Canada? >>Man #2: Oh really? What hockey team did she play for? Guy walks into a bar and asks for a whiskey. Bartender says would you like domestic or Canadian. Guy says the only good things to come out of Canada are whores and hockey players. Bartender says hey asshole my wife is Canadian. Guy says really what position does she play?

195 A drunk Canadian decides to go ice fishing, so he gathers his gear and goes walking around until he finds a big patch of ice. He heads into the center of the ice and begins to saw a hole. All of sudden, a loud booming voice comes out of the sky. "You will find no fish under that ice."

The drunk looks around, but sees no one. He starts sawing again. Once more, the voice speaks, "As I said before, there are no fish under the ice."

The drunk looks all around, high and low, but can't see a single soul. He picks up the saw and tries one more time to finish.

Before he can even start cutting, the huge voice interrupts. "I have warned you three times now. There are no fish!"

The drunk is now flustered and somewhat scared, so he asks the voice, "How do you know there are no fish? Are you God trying to warn me?"

"No", the voice replied. "I am the manager of this hockey rink."

199 The Montreal Canadiens

I remember that the New Yorker ran a cartoon some years back when Quebec was threatening to separate from the rest of Canada that showed a bunch of hockey players lined up, with the caption underneath-- "The Montreal Non-Canadiens"

200 Good. The hoserphobes have gone to Gabe's legal thread.

BTW, how many tennis players (including the male ones) have facial scars and no teeth like goalies before Plante's mask?

202 Hmm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocktail_shaker The cocktail shaker can be traced to 7000 BCE in South America, where the jar gourd was used as a closed container. Egyptians as long ago as 3500 BCE were adding spices to their fermented grain concoctions before serving, to make them more palatable.

Posted by: andycanuck at January 18, 2014 06:36 PM (vuh7l) Yeah, there's a slight difference between a hollow fuzzy tennis ball and a frozen slab of rubber.

206 And a ball that has to bounce off the ground first and isn't shot right at you.
