I gotta say, I'm fairly new to hockey and watched the game last night and im damn impressed by hockey players skills. I could never and I can definitely see the appeal. Might make a fan of me next season.
Welcome!
Well, you couldn’t have picked a better time to start watching. You are watching one of the most dramatic Stanley Cup Final series in recent history. Storylines. Two great teams. Arguably, one of the best players of all time. A game 7 after a 3-0 start by a team.
It’s a great sport, full of players with many different types of skill sets… all required to build a winning team. It’s a game of speed, skill, grace and, at the same time, strength, physicality and pure will. A blend between basketball and (American) football.. performed on blades of steel. Hockey fans, in general, are the some of the most passionate of any sports fan.
I’ve been an Oiler fan since before they entered the NHL. Seen my team assemble one of the best teams in history and win 5 Cups and also saw them have a Decade of Darkness like few teams have ever experienced. Always stayed true to my team.
Where you from?
