Texsox Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I finally have a local hockey team the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees http://www.killerbeehockey.com/ They took a poll and asked what are you looking forward to. I want to see if intelligent sports fans, well at least the people here have the same taste as these fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I don't watch it, so I can't answer that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I second that notion ABoz, don't watch it, don't honestly care anything about it. Theres always that lull between the end of football, and the beginning off baseball to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Checking for sure. I was hoping one of the Red Wings was gonna deck da little pip squeak Danton from St. Louis on ESPN last night. Ruutu's the only forward, maybe Calder and Bell, who can check for da Blackhawks, hence why they're so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Anyone who doesn't say fighting is lying. I love watching hockey live. No sport moves as fast, or as unpredictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Mine's a combination of fighting and goaltending. Watching a fight upclose at the glass is something else! I love a goal tenderer that can use all the tools to stop the puck from crossing the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeportHeather Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Hockey is by far my favorite sport...BY FAR!!! I picked up a taste for the game first because of the fighting. Now I love more than that, but the entire game, and all that comes with it! So, I can't vote in this poll, since there isn't a single aspect of the game that is the sole reason I watch the game. I love it all!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Anyone who doesn't say fighting is lying. I love watching hockey live. No sport moves as fast, or as unpredictable. I can only watch it live, so I end up seeing it like once every two years. And your right, I know damn well that i watch it for fighting and huge checks Ducks got tickets for 10 bucks this year so I may check out a few games.

BridgeportHeather Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Ducks got tickets for 10 bucks this year so I may check out a few games. Blackhawks have tickets for $8 for students who present their student IDs! I'm gonna use that baby years after I graduate. If $Bill is gonna constantly rip off the fans, I'm gonna go rip him off too! I suggest others doing the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 All of the above. Agreed. All of the above. Since I had to choose one, I'm going with goaltending. I was always a fan of the goalies as a kid ( Tony Esposito, Gerry Cheevers, Ken Dryden, Bernie Parent, Gump Worsley, Cesare Maniago ), and a fantastic save is more exciting to me than a great goal or hard hit.

SuperSteve Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 C'mon now, obviously I am all for the fighting. During the regular season, I like to see some hard play. The playoffs are a little different. I jump on the underdogs bandwagons (I'd cheer for the Hawks, but we all know they have trouble getting into the playoffs), and watch alot of hockey for the game then. I really have no interest in regular season hockey, and I have never understood the fourh column in the win-loss-tie record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Anyone who doesn't say fighting is lying. I enjoy a fight here and there, but I don't like it when the game goons its way out of control. I am, after all, there to see HOCKEY. If all I wanted to see was punching, I'd go to a boxing match ( although at a heavyweight fight, you're more likely to see hugging than punching ). I do like seeing a fight build up - you see the goons bump each other around a little, you see them jawing at each other, and you just KNOW they're gonna go. Then they give each other that look, and IT'S ON! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loss is a loss, is it not. They went to it a couple of years ago because the last 5 minutes of a tie game, and all of overtime everyone played not to lose, because they didn't want to lose the point. Now with being guarenteed a point for going to OT no matter what it gives people incentive to try to get the extra point for winning.

Queen Prawn Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Why do they count them, or what's the deal. A loss is a loss, is it not. Because you still get a point for getting to OT (or so it was explained to me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubKilla Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Considering the majority of us here seem to be BlackHawks fans, where is the 'comedy relief' choice ? Seriously..... when I played I was a goaltender. So goaltending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafacosta Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I like fights, they dont know how to fight but it´s fun. When you are watching on the TV you hardly se the puck, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Anyone who doesn't say fighting is lying. I love watching hockey live. No sport moves as fast, or as unpredictable. I love the fights so I voted for that (I own several tapes of hockey fights I bought off EBAY ) , but I like all aspects of Hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
