Racinbob 12,744 #2 Posted 5 hours ago I really don't know anything about Hockey but when my wife said it was on I decided to watch it. I came in just as the second period started. It looked to me, with my limited knowledge, that Canada outplayed The USA for the most part but USA had the heart and just kept finding a way. I thought it was going to be over when Canada had the 5-3 player advantage. Wow! I need to learn more about the sport. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a fairly easy sport to learn as a spectator (playing is a whole other thing...) The last couple minutes of a one-goal game with the goalie pulled can be the most exciting in all of sports IMO. I also think it's the best sport to go watch live. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 9,599 #4 Posted 4 hours ago Although Canada lost, I will say Sid the Kid is one of the best to hit the ice. I have got to watch him many times in the Burg. World Class. A big plus in hockey you don't have to deal with all the whining like the NFL. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 45,450 #5 Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Go to a hockey game in Buffalo. You park for free at the University and ride the trolley/ subway to the arena for a few bucks round trip. Along the way you pick up fans for the opposing team and by the time you get to the arena ,it's like being in college again! We went a few years back when Toronto their big rival was there. Exciting game and the fans were nuts. Buffalo wins and we are leaving and I hear all this noise from another ramp. It was a mess of Toronto fans chanting and whooping it up. They got beat and you'd think they just won the Stanley Cup! The matinee games are the best. Game ends around 5 and you hit a pub or 2 on the way back to your car and the fans are still going crazy!

He should never have to pay for a beer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
