[Mommy]

that's fucking awesome.

[impala454]

one of the refs should have kicked their asses. hell the fights are the only interesting part of hockey and they f'd that up.

Actually, no, fighting in hockey is the least interesting part of the game.

But either way that one guy who threw his gloves off first is a fucking tool.

[impala454]

Actually, no, fighting in hockey is the least interesting part of the game.

To me, the fights are the only interesting part of the game. I think there's enough others who feel that way though, considering that usually seems to be the only highlights we end up seeing covered on TV.

That's because news reporters are idiots.

Seriously how fucking monsterously stupid are people who are like "Fights are the only interesting part of hockey" ..

Seriously, how fucking stupid is this?

You're an idiot if you think these fights are amusing.

First, the guys fighting are wearing body armor. What fun is this?

Second, they are fucking TERRIBLE at throwing punches overall.

Third ... have you ever tried throwing a punch on ice skates? It's virtually impossible to get any momentum behind it unless you can crow hawk a guy or some shit during a bench clear.

Fourth, it takes away from the game. I would _MUCH_ rather see somone throw an absolutley massive open ice hip check on somone and send their teeth flying out of their outh than watch what appears to be a bunch of girls slapping each other and eventally getting sent to the corner to pout.

Fighting in hockey is stupid, and as far as game strategy goes, it's probably only necessary %0.01 of the time it actually happens.

[FORSAKENR320]

Seriously, how fucking stupid is this?

THEY HAVE FUCKING BLADES ON THEIR FEET AND ARE CARRY LARGE STICKS!!!!!

THIS GAME IS DESIGNED FOR FIGHTING!

[impala454]

Seriously how fucking monsterously stupid are people who are like "Fights are the only interesting part of hockey" ..

Seriously, how fucking stupid is this?

How stupid is it that they have a goal that the goalie completely fits into and is so stuffed with pads he can barely move. The guy moves like 4 inches and catches a puck and that's some amazing play. It's sad.

[Mommy]

I like hockey *shrug*

You're a fucking idiot dude hahahaha

mmmmk

[Oasis]

People who think fighting is the only cool part about hockey are the same types who think crashes are the only good part about NASCAR

ie, dumbasses

[Billy]

You're a fucking idiot dude hahahaha

[Zetec] This is so old [/Zetec]

nah... there's not any good part about nascar.

[Mommy]

Dale Earnheardt (sp) Jr. is a great part about Nascar. HOTTIE!

Well, at least I used to think so. Now, not so much.

Thats because you're preggoweird.

[Oasis]

I'm forced to pretend to be interested in NASCAR because my roommate and my best friend like it, and I'm getting a free infield ticket to the race in April

I don't know who my favorite driver is, I think Bowyer. Don't even know what his first name is but he drives the Jack Daniels car so that's good enough for me. I usually just root for whoever they don't like. Kyle Busch is one of em. I hate Tony Stewart. He's invaded sportscenter enough that I know he's a crybaby asshole

NASCAR on a regular TV is pretty boring. On a widescreen with a surround system it gets pretty interesting. I'll hold off judgment till I go to an actual race.

i like hockey. going to a hockey game is the the funniest second only to basketball (truth!). but its hard to follow the puck! "BUT ITS BLACK AND ON ICE!" too bad its tiny and they hit it at like a billion mph on a small rink with a crowd of players.

And to think, all the goalie has to do is move 4" and he automatically catches that puck!

Impala says so and he knows everything as you well know!

[impala454]

Ok my bad, 6"

[Dogmeat]

Ok my bad, 6"

Tell you what, next time I'm in lubbock I'll borrow some goalie pads from somone I know down there I used to skate with, we'll put you in them, and I'll rip a couple 100 mph slapshots straight at your face and we'll see how quick you can move 6" out of the way, sound good?

Then, after you've been battered a few times in the face, which shouldn't hurt you at all because you're wearing a face mask, I'll shoot some directly at your pads and see if you can even stop those.

Then, I'll actually aim for the corners, 5 hole, wherever ... hell, I'll even just shoot standing wrist shots from the blue line and we'll see how you do with that ...

Then, I'll cut full bore to the net and just shoot as hard as I possibly can at your glove hand. Since you're wearing a glove, that won't hurt at all, and you shouldn't even have to move to catch this one

Then I'll get some of my buddies and we'll set up a triagle in the corner and maybe have one defender on your side, we'll whip the puck around slowly as hell and you still wont have a clue where it is, then we'll just pass the puck TO YOU and see if you can even get that.

Hold on let me think about 10000 other scenerios here you'd fail miserably at.

The bottom line is, being a goalie is the hardest position on the ice to play.

But since you've never so much as even been on ice skates in your entire life let alone played competitive hockey, I dbout you'd know anything about that.

[Oasis]

Take it from Dogmeat, and me, who've both played hockey.....Impala, you're an idiot

[impala454]

I'm an idiot because I don't like hockey?

And dogmeat, I never said it wasn't difficult or that I could do it. I just don't think it's all that impressive when the the dude is so padded up there's like 10 square inches of goal space for him to guard.

I can't stand soccer either, but seeing a goalie actually have to guard a reasonable amount of space is much more impressive IMHO.

Hockey sucks.

[Dogmeat]

Hockey sucks.

The reason you think hockey sucks is because you were far too unathletic and untalented as a kid to ever even be able to stand up on skates let alone play a sport on them

[FORSAKENR320]

i can skate, i was athletic.... and i still think hockey sucks

Virtually every single person I've met in life who thinks a sport, or sports in general suck, thinks so because they were terrible at them growing up.

No offense but I'll be damned if this hasn't proven true virtually every time I've come across this in life.

This is stretching it a bit far, Aaron.
Do you like polo?
Have you played polo?
Do you like Cricket?

Some people just don't enjoy watching certain sports. I don't enjoy watching hockey. I still think they are great atheletes.

Saying you don't care to watch a sport is one thing, making claims as to how easy a sport is and that it sucks because of "how easy it is" when you've never even so much as ice-skated let alone TRIED the sport are two entirley different things.

And honestly, I don't think that I'm stretching it very far at all.

You like things you are good at and excel at, period.

I can't think of one thing in life that I'm terrible at that I like. Can you?

yeah except for that minor problem that people don't grow up playing ice hockey in HOUSTON.

Yeah, that is true. But I just chalk it up to Impala being Impala.


I'm terrible at basketball, but enjoy watching it.
Heh, but yeah I see what you're getting it.

[Dogmeat]

Funny, I met quite a few guys in lubbock who were my age who played hockey growing up in Houston. From the times I went down there to play, I gathered there were quite a few rinks there, but there had been several rinks there in various parts of the city for a great many years.

There were over 4,000 youth hockey players in the DFW area in 2005 according to USA hockey.

Youth amature hockey is alive and strong in Texas, and apparently has been for quite some time.

Try again.

[Dogmeat]

Yeah, that is true. But I just chalk it up to Impala being Impala.

I'm just the opposite. I'm pretty good at basketball (played a lot of that) but I _HATE_ watching it.
For me, fun to play, boring as hell to watch.

Hockey is funner than hell for me to play and I love to watch it too.

Football I only played 2 years of (due to hockey) and wasn't really that good at it, but I love watching it.

Fighting I don't know the first thing about and I'm assuming I'm quite terrible at it, but that's fun to watch.

Sex is something I'm phenomenally terrible at, and I fucking hate watching it but I'm completley addicted to it.

Anyways, what's fun to watch doesn't really relate to what you're good at DOING I don't think, I think that just comes to more of a "what gets your rox off" type thing.

heh

[impala454]

Dude, I dunno how to get it across to you, when I was growing up around here, ice hockey was not played by anyone. I played football, basketball, baseball, and some kids I knew played soccer. nobody played ice hockey. Your point that 4,000 kids in DFW play it is irrelevant. You were attempting to attribute my dislike for hockey because I wasn't good at it. My point is nobody played it, so that's impossible. So cough up some numbers about the apparently immense population of youth hockey players in the greater houston area from 1979-1998 and I'll shuttup.

[cmac]

people play hockey in houston. not as much as say, michigan, but it still exists.
it's a cultural thing.

USA hockey stats only go back to 1991, I checked.

Ah well. I'll prove you wrong about something else some other time so I don't have to pull a bunch of bullshit out of my ass and make something up

[impala454]

well what were the numbers for houston back in 1991?

I didn't really mean to say nobody played it as in zero, just that it wasn't very common at all. everybody played the standard football/baseball/basketball. soccer was just barely starting to become popular when i got to around 13-14 years old.

Uh I'd have to say you might have missed the boat on the soccer.

If soccer is immensley popular among 6 year olds in Wyoming in 1986 I have a VERY hard time believing in a city the size of Houston it wasn't even more popular in 1993.

[THECHICKEN]

Obviously not always the case, but most the people who say "hockey sucks" just don't understand it or don't appreciate the difficulty due to never playing it.

Not liking to watch something is different than the people who go out of thier way just to rag on hockey.

well it wasn't immensely popular when I was growing up. although it definitely was there.

Or maybe they just don't like it?? And although I dislike hockey, my "hockey sucks" comment was just an equally intelligent reply to dogmeat's "you're an idiot" comment.

I have no problem with you disliking hockey. Like whatever you want I don't care. But don't say goalies aren't talented or it takes no skill. You'd get killed stopping iafrate slapshots as would I.

[impala454]

I never said goalies aren't talented or it takes no skill. I said it wasn't that impressive to me.

[Testm0nkey]

where i grew up in houston everyone played competitive soccer starting at age 3 it seemed. i dont know why the conversation switched to soccer but i also had a few friends in HS who played ice hockey. they just had to go down to Sugar land for practices. and kevins brother played hockey competitively blah blah blah. its surprisingly popular in a state that doesnt get a lot of cold weather

[impala454]

no they didn't

Deer Park, but your joke still works as I live about 5 miles from the largest oil/chemical refining area on the planet. But I lived there for 19 years and still have no ill effects.
