I'm trying so hard to like Hockey

i enjoy watching but get bored quickly. i find myself online while the game is on. while watching a panthers game, i'm focused on every play. growing up in a small town in the south, i knew nothing of hockey except for the olympics.

one question though, why don't they get a really big fat guy to play goalie? they could crane in one of those guys that can't get off his couch and plop him down in front of the net and block 90% of it.

you'd think they'd have really big defensive tackle type guys playing goalie.

i miss football. i wish summer would be over already.

I love watching hockey, but I'd rather see it in person.

this is true. hockey is so much better in person than on TV.

that said, hockey in HD is really really good. SD hockey is pretty unwatchable. its impossible to find the puck

enjoying game 2of the finals tonight. pulling for chicago as i pretty much hate all philadelphia teams and liked watching jordan and the bulls and walter payton so i hope chicago wins.

i just hate philadelphia sports in general. i even pulled for clubber lang to beat rocky.

i think i'll give it a legit shot next season and follow it all season.

i still love my game 7 in the NBA with everything on the line. ive been to every major sport live except football which i plan to go to later this year. Hockey and Basketball are great to me live. Baseball however bored me to tears. i had to go to 3 games, i skipped the 4th

    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
    • Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off. 
    • Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
