for one, almost no one watches pro hockey. its dead.

it wasnt exactly abandoned, just the players union couldnt get a decent contract with the teams and stuff, so they went on strike and the season was cancelled. pretty much it was bastard greedy asses to blame, not that i cared much, hockey sucks the big one to me anyways.

i had my suspicions that hockey was silly after the mighty ducks. not the movies, but the actual team. and then i attended a live game a few years ago while holidaying in america, and thought it was bullshit because all the in-game breaks (or team switching or whatever it is) were regulated by commercial breaks for TV coverage

baseketball strikes yet again

I live in Canada where hockey is HUGE!! Almost everyone I meet knows tons of stats, goes to games( $100+ tickets for pro) and breaths hockey.
....I hate it and don't care that the NHL is back on for the new season.
It's the sport of asses!
