OK, I'm from the southwestern part of USA and know f-all about hockey. NFL sidelines strategy, connecting passes or fighting to pick u first downs, I know. But damn, after three winters of watching NHL hockey. So fast, so hard, so fun! B-Ball-- yeah, similar, but hockey has less of the psych game. Drawing fouls--- hell no, there are no drawing fouls. How aboot a fist to the head and I get the foul!

Futbol--- On the same tactical page as hockey. Take football/soccer and make it into mostly two-dimensions instead of three, in a tight space, on ice. Played by guys on skates, with carbon fiber sticks. Are these people insane?

Here's what I have to say: So far, there are no giant showboat superstars of hockey. They pretty much look like honest hyper-athletes, pushing agaist each other toward the league championship. They might already be millionaire athletes, I don't know. Don't matter, seems they're teaming and pushing and not celebrity showboating as in some other sports. Go ye boys!

Yay for northern sports \o/

Rally>Hockey>Biathlon>Else

Edit: It's quite funny how most countries are either a hockey country or a football country and there is quiet war between these that noone actually knows exist.

If I didn't already know that you were from Finland, I am sure I would have been able to guess it from that.

The Leafs? Sir, I believe you may be trolling. And about two very serious subjects. NHL hockey, and my ISK gambling operation.

Honestly, i never cared for it. Even though it is still reletavely "big" here. I find cars driving driving on an unknown road going fast ass speeds to the goal with only the guy next to you knowing what is going to happen next

"-Didn't see that rock and we just bounced in to a tree, fliped 3 times over while shedding half of the car to the surrounding area.
-Does the engine still work?
-Yes
-No worries then."

more exiting than skijumping, not that it is a bad sport

To throw in a southern hemisphere sport (not that I am into AFL much), Australian Football League:

No wait, I should be backing the Kings, one of ours is playing for them.

Wait, they're out already, aren't they ?

[Please pardon the consecutive posts. Not waiting your turn to speak. Bad protocol on forums, but perfectly acceptable in RL. Well, it depends on what culture of the world you're in. Anyway...]
Wow, that's a good call Tilde. Those guys seem to have some kind of transcendental zennish hyper-meta-athlete thing going on. Rangers and even Islanders are whipped up and jamming too, but kind of a different level.

What nationality Hengle? If a hockey playing one, you might have one or more of yours on every team in this league. Smile

Nah, he's the only guy in NHL from round here... (we're a very small nation)

His name is Kopitar.

Key player on the champions of the North American league last year. Can't do much better than that! In N. America at least. Smile
