    Hockey Fans

    So, I've noticed that quite a few members of our community have played hockey or currently do. It's not surprising, given the fact that snus seems a perfect way to get a good buzz on while competing in sport, in addition to the popularity of hockey in Scandinavian countries. Additionally, we have quite a few Canadians amongst us, so I thought I'd throw it out there.

    Who's a fan of the greatest game in the world?!

        Hockey is one of the few sports that I enjoy watching. Most sports just bore the hell out of me, but hockey is always exciting.

        I'm definitely in.

          I haven't followed hockey for years (I think there were 21 teams when I knew all their names!) but I still love to watch a good game. Played right wing and goalie, each for a season, but that was when I was naught but a wee tyke! Awesome sport - forget this poncey european football nonsense. It's so slooooow. You could write a thesis on strategy in the time it takes to make the play - bloody get on with it! zzzzzzzzz :lol:

            I love the game too, a Chicago Blackhawks fan...

            Have also watched the now sadly defunct Bristol Bulldogs over here, and also the Cardiff Devils, Basingstoke Bison and Swindon Wildcats, in the British and English leagues over here...

            Have also been lucky enough to see a few games in Czech Elite League, at Pardubice, and both Prague clubs, Sparta and Slavia.

              I watch hockey only if/when Finland is playing an important game. Football (the real thing, not the Yankee-crap :wink is more my thing (might be because I played it for 10 years when I was younger).

                I've played competitive baseball and hockey most of my life. The furthest I got (professionally speaking) was a stint in the Toronto Maple Leafs training camp 25 years ago. Two days in I realized I wasn't going to make a living playing hockey. That's a very tough nut to crack. Nonetheless, it's still a great game.

                My favorites are hockey and baseball. I get sports enjoyment year-round...Baseball in the Spring and Summer...Hockey in the Fall and Winter. It doesn't get any better than that!

                  i only really like to watch the semi-pro teams because they are still very hungry for that break into the pros. now dont get me wrong the pros are good but they are a little lax because they have already got there. know what i mean

                      Hell yes! I started following the Rangers and NHL almost 20 years ago. I watch at least one NHL game every day. I believe this video tells all the reasons why i love this game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL38dPhQv7o

                        I've been to a couple of saint louis blues games before. I had a good time but i'm not a big hockey fan at all. Baseball and Football (american) are my favorites in that order. I'm a big cardinals fan. stl rams too but they're sucking ass this season :cry:

                          have to say that best players are coming from Finland ( ok, Swedish players are good too, unfortunately) allthought team Finland has got a bad habit to spoile big games by putting too much wheight on defense..

                          If you have to put one player on top, I suggest Teemu Selänne, couse Teemu on paras, and you know it too

                          Big love to him

                              Booooo! Finnish forwards are sissies. Their goalies are awesome, though.

                              Swedish forwards kick ass. Don't be messing with my captain. :wink:

                              Excellent video biasmet!

                              Here are a few other YouTube videos to sum up the greatness of hockey;

                              Paul Kariya scores a goal after being laid out by Scott Stevens (turn your volume down towards the end of this one, trust me), this one gets me fired up: http://www.youtube.com/v/8up-tkxZ4r8&rel=1

                              GOALIE FIGHTS!!!!!

                              Then there's my boy, Darcy Tucker- yeah, he's a pest and I'd hate him if he weren't on my team, but here he is; a lot of fun to watch.
