Is Hockey more exciting at the game?

Maybe it's a southern thing, but I just can't get into it. Chasing a puck around for 3 hours, and the game ends 1-0. The fights are cool though. No dis , just an observation.

Yes. It is much more exciting in person. You don't get the feel of how fast the game really is on TV.

But with HD, TV is getting better.

Hockey is a blast to see live. Especially if you can get a seat behind the oppsing teams bench! I was asked to leave by security once!

That sucks you guys lost out going to the Stanley Cup. I think you start out the season against the Hurricanes though right? Nothing wrong with a little payback.:machgun:

1-0 games ??? They average 5 goals a game man. Plus they crush each other all over the ice, and the action is non stop. Where in football there is a 5 second play followed by a minute of standing around in between.

I can appreciate that, but football is so much more strategy. It's like a live chess game, with 45 second intervals. Hockey seems to be fast paced, but the strategy is a little different. I think I need to go to a live hockey game.

Make sure you take a radio and listen to Jennerett though if you get a chance to come to Buffalo. You won't believe how exciting it is then.
