Do you miss hockey?

by **iKe7in** on Tue Nov 16, 2004 4:08 pm

I know this is a basketball forum, and most of you (especially the Americans) have not even noticed that there's none right now.

Personally, I'm lost without it. The Raptors barely fill any of the void, the NFL is only once a week, and the CFL is almost over.

Without Hockey Night in Canada every Saturday night, I'm left to just sit in a corner and hug my legs, rocking back and forth.

I still don't know if anyone else misses it as I do, or even at all.

Simple answer for me
No, mainly because I'm in Australia

It's that sport that would make Gary Payton and Ricky Davis look like bitches.

Nope, glad it's gone. Yes everyone here, I am Canadian. On my dad's side my great-great-grandfather or something was one of the founding pioneers in Vancouver, and my mom's family has been in Canada since my great-grandparents. And I despise hockey.

Some of them, although there seems to be more hockey fans just about everywhere else in Canada other than Vancouver.

hockey's only good during the playoffs, i don't watch it in the regular season unless they're trying to break into the 8th seed slot.. but yea im kinda happy hockey's gone, doesn't take up 99.9% of the highlights where i live, its fucking annoying.. now it's all football and basketball. life is good :cool:

I'm in Canada and I'm used to it. It is a little boring but I do miss hockey especially since livivg here...

by **Wormy10** on Fri Feb 04, 2005 12:38 pm

I dont
I always got irritated when I was watching Sportscenter and they were showing NBA Highlights, and then it just skips over to NHL, and then back to NBA or MLB or something
Thats just me though

really? i live in vancouver, and most of the people here love the canucks. whether their die hard fans or just bandwagoners.

by **Colin** on Sun Feb 20, 2005 8:13 am

People like the Cancuks, but compared to the rest of Canada there aren't that may hockey fans.

by **Mazzocchi** on Sun Feb 20, 2005 8:59 am

meh, i hate hocky, but i miss it because theres nothing to fill up the time on Sports Center now. Each morning i have to watch/listen to some human-interest story that i dont give a shit about.
even though i hate it... i'd much rather listen to hocky highlights

by **Null17** on Sun Feb 20, 2005 3:17 pm

Ho...what now?

hehehe. i'm not really a big hockey fan so not really. it is occassionally fun to watch though. i'm just not really into it because i don't know a lot about the rules

Well, you try to punch or hit the opponent, and then pick-up that little black thing and try to score with it :crazy:
