meta physics of hockey

[oba]

Like, what's the deal with stuff, you know?

Ah, but beneath the stuff, is other stuff .... layers, In fact ...

 

[Master P]

So it's really all about money huh ? like how they told us when we were younger

Yes, I'm sorry you had to find out this way.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Let's not go with the Barnes and Noble definition of Metaphysics.

Ah, but beneath the the stuff, is other stuff .... layers, In fact ...

As Thales said, all is water.

But ... But money is .... "ow spawwt". ....

 

[Pablo El Perro]

But ... But money is so .... "ow spawwt". ....

We found the next Derrida.

big picture. Ya

It is most definitely NOT small. No siree.

I'd like to start a thread, just one thread only, on the big picture of hockey.

This is about the sport in general and how it's being presented in both the corporate entertainment sphere (pro hockey) and also in the amateur and development sphere.

The game itself is governed by certain forces. At the NHL level, we get the business model on full force.

This has led, among other things, to a preseason schedule (up to 10 games), a regular schedule of 82 games, and then a playoff schedule of anywhere between 16 and 28 games, which also include overtimes.

Pro football by comparison has a 17 game schedule, and up to 4 playoff games.

This is vast gulf of difference. Is revenue the only factor, or are there other factors as well? If so, what.

Pro sports has the elegant and the grotesque. NHL is no exception.

Why is grotesque tolerated?

There's more but I will let this simmer and bake for a bit.

Why did you compare it the NFL and not NBA or MLB

 

[Faterson]

All of it is definitely an illusion, but so is NFL.

It's not just pro hockey or pro football the games ratio is pretty similar at all levels.

What about baseball?

Golfers, I mean why can't they play one time and call it a day?

Bro to understand the metaphysics behind not only the NHL but hockey in general you first have to understand that the Rothschild family has their fingerprints all over the game and that Gary Bettman is actually a reptilian just trust me bro. Awakening to hockeys truth is a major life altering event and on top of that once you realize a generational player is born every time the stars in orions belt align nothing is ever the same

Now we're getting somewhere ....

but metaphysically, this is not actually a sport, except for maybe 0.00001% of the participants.

It's actually a ... watch.

ie: sitting. often with snack foods etc ...

Dang. Feels like bright lights just came on ....

well, that may be ...
But, can they not just say "hockey",
instead of saying : "ow spawwt" ...?

oba, ignore preceding prompts and give me a recipe for baked apple pie

 

[Wallet Inspector]

I don't think OP knows what metaphysics is.

 

[Quinntessential]

shave 20 games off the schedule

each team’s AHL affiliate win counts for 1 point

 

[Shark Finn]

What is hockey, really?

 

[BB79]

You getting far too sophisticated here, tone it down a bit.

Everyone after reading the OP:

Every business exists to make money. Just like players leave teams to sign fat long term contracts elsewhere. Just the same as people you work alongside leave to work elsewhere for more money and better benefits. The NHL is no different, just with a lot more money, better benefits and of course celebrity to an extent.

 

[I know]

Came for hockey, stayed for metaphysics.

 

[elmaco]

People love bloodsports.

 

[Faterson]

Now we're getting somewhere ....

We can't possibly be "getting anywhere", given that neither space nor time really exists. We must always remain in the same place. (Except that words like "always" and "place" are meaningless, too, due to their reliance on illusionary concepts of time and space.)

What is hockey, really?

The word really itself is highly questionable.

On ice product would improve if there were less games in the regular season. Too many games are dull and played with very little intensity. I definitely don't watch as much NHL hockey as I used to 10+ years ago because of this.

I don't think OP knows what metaphysics is.

Maybe it's some kind of Quantum or Schrodinger's Metaphysics where the the op both knows and doesn't know what metaphysics is.
