I don't know, I feel like that's like saying rugby and football are the same thing.

Field hockey and ice hockey have dramatically different rules.

Field hockey is absolutely huge.
Huge as amateur sport but isn't there only one semi pro league that's a recent (last 10 years) upstart ?

The way I see it, if they play well and win, that's great.

If they're complete ass, that's funny.

If they play like shit and win anyway they're 1) ruining the tank 2) ruining the full Joker arc and 3) boring.

I don’t really care about win/loss anymore. I confess, I kind of prefer more losing, simply because it’s the only thing that will force meaningful changes to continue. I don’t like losing, but it’s short term losing with a purpose the way I see it.

What I can’t stand is how boring we are. Like, no, I don’t want to be a decade long failed rebuild with no playoffs but I would love to watch Tage Thompson and Dahlin and Byram and guys who at least move the puck well and play with pace and are FUN. Please. Just be fun.

To drink or not to drink, that is the question.
It's a cold one tonight. Might be time to open the Nights Watch!

I think they need to lose, don’t like to root for a team to lose. But winning a few games here and there is not going to fix the long term issues, and only mask those issues. They need to enter another rebuild, but Dolan will not allow that to happen.

Ugh. It’s so cold (for Texas) today and the rest of the week, and it makes me really want to do a cozy whiskey on the couch with the game on, but I’ve been doing good on dry January so far and I want to make it the full month. That looks so tempting though.

Field hockey is weird.

It doesn't have big leagues anywhere, really, but when it comes to international play, it gets viewership in the billions.
I watched a bit of field hockey in the Olympics this year. India had a god level goalie who just stopped shot after shot. They relied on him like we relied on Henrik for all those years.

Good man. I find a couple pints of those after work usually last the evening if I'm home...If I'm out they can go down like Buds sometimes

I’ve become a Craft beer , um whats the phrase? Craft Beer connoisseur. I am into the DIPA, TIPA, New England style and also like a good West Coast as well, which I get a lot of when I’m in the OC.
