Does anyone watch hockey?

sweet dude, I always played street hockey growing up and now I am trying to get my 2 kids into it!!!!

 

For a long time, I knew exactly where the championship mug was from a college intramural street hockey league but no idea what I'd done with my diploma. Our goalie was spectacular...just sayin.

 

Mark Messier, Gordie Howe, Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky, used to watch all the time could name a lot of players even played for a few years growing up,, it was a blast!! Now,, only catch a few games a year. Was just saying I have to watch more Hockey games last week! Great sport!!

 

Welcome. I’m from CO so the AVS it is! I’m a huge hockey fan.

 

I'd watch Curling before I'd watch Hockey.....just sayin..

 

I watch it when I can but don't usually catch any games on a regular basis. Life time Red Wings fan.

 

Curling? I'd rather watch grass grow than curling. Although, it can actually be funny for a few minutes every couple years

 

Curling??? Like when girls curl their hair????

 

Welcome, Rangers here.

 

Curling is a sport in which players slide stones on a sheet of ice toward a target area which is segmented into four concentric circles. It is related to bowls, boules, and shuffleboard. Two teams, each with four players, take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones, also called rocks, across the ice curling sheet toward the house, a circular target marked on the ice.[2] Each team has eight stones, with each player throwing two. The purpose is to accumulate the highest score for a game; points are scored for the stones resting closest to the centre of the house at the conclusion of each end, which is completed when both teams have thrown all of their stones once. A game usually consists of eight or ten ends.

The player can induce a curved path, described as curl, by causing the stone to slowly rotate as it slides. The path of the rock may be further influenced by two sweepers with brooms or brushes, who accompany it as it slides down the sheet and sweep the ice in front of the stone. "Sweeping a rock" decreases the friction, which makes the stone travel a straighter path (with less curl) and a longer distance. A great deal of strategy and teamwork go into choosing the ideal path and placement of a stone for each situation, and the skills of the curlers determine the degree to which the stone will achieve the desired result.

 

^^^^ ya but when do they curl their hair???







it was a joke

 

Big Wild fan here in Minnesota. We are a fun team to watch this year. Much different team then in the past. I’m just hoping we won’t be first round exit like every other fucking year. We can’t beat the ducking blues and about 99% we play them first round

 

Only Happy.

 

It was an attempt at a joke, and not a good one...LOL
Don't quit your daytime job.....

 

I can’t believe for the life of me why curling would be in the Olympics, maybe there’s some secret to that, I’m a lifelong Blackhawks fan and watched many many Blackhawks games and watched the last three Stanley Cup wins 2010 2013 & 2015. don’t watch them anymore because they can’t help but lose most all the time now
go Hawks

 

Great time to start!!! Playoff hockey start soon!!!

 

Man the Avs are a top cup contender!!!!! Our man josh Manson was traded to your team hope he has a chance at the cup!!!

 

Rangers really good this year!!! Hopefully they have success during the post season!!

 

The wilds is crazy good!! And with the addition of fluery and dlo!!! From the ducks, I think u can go far in the post season!!

 

Grew up in Minnesota and have been a Wild fan for as long as they’ve been around. My mother went to high school with some of the Miracle on ice team so it’s always been a part of my regular sports watching. Like @Northwoods22 said we’re a fun team to watch this year!

 

Wing fan by default. Wife is a Redwing fan (wingnut).

She (meaning we) listens to most Wing games. We gave up our TV 10 years ago.

Sorry, I don't really fallow much more than the "Original 6".

Wife and I do have a picture of us holding the SC. I have my doubts if it was the travel cup or the original. The size seems off.

 

Welcome! Orange County resident but Kings fan since the late ‘80s.

 

I always find it interesting on how other fans from around the league view the wild. Whenever we have a Nationally televised game I can’t stand listening to the commentators because it seems like they are constantly putting us down. Drives me crazy. But maybe I’m a sensitive fan haha

So cool seeing Flower in a wild sweater and getting D-lo, I wasn’t familiar with him before but dudes a warrior- and he can actually hang and make plays too beside just a physical presence

 

He’s starting to get in the groove out here.
