The Critic Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Fans of any sport can point to subtle nuances which are exclusive to their favorite game. In the case of hockey you can look at faceoff positioning and timing, the timing and execution of line changes to gain favorable matchups, the way a goaltender can direct rebounds away from opposing forwards and toward his own teammates, power play management, and so on. These subtleties can be admired much more in person, where you see "the game within the game" taking place away from the puck. I am not trying to minimize or demean anyone else's reasons for choosing a sport as their favorite, I'm just saying that I'd rather watch a hockey game than any other sport, given the choice.

Chisoxfn Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Same reason that soccer is boring. But Soccer is so freaking fun to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 World Cup soccer was fun to watch Summer 2002. I don't much care for MLS but Premier League is fun to watch too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Good post, bmr. I'm glad we all agree baseball is the best. I always say the best day of the year is Opening Day and the worst day of the year is that Sunday when there is no more ball, unless of course we make the playoffs. The first day of spring training ain't a bad day, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I love watching World Cup soccer. Too bad it only comes around once every four years. But I guess that's what makes it even more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I dunno... I think I'd have to play that Bikini Paint Ball before I agree 100%... I'll pay for you to play Bikini Paint Ball if I can wash the paint off of you after you are finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
