I hate hockey.
I mean I was sort of a fan when I was a kid. There were only about eight teams and you knew all the players. The Rangers had Rod Gilbert and Eddie Giacoman and Vic Hatfield and Brad Park. They had epic battles with the Bruins who had Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito and Derek (seventies porno guy mustache) Sanderson. Stan Mikta. Keith Magnunson. Bobby Hull. Bobby Clarke and Dave Schultz and the Broad Street bullies.
But I sort of lost touch. Then all through the eighties and nineties I had season tickets for the Knicks and had to hear racist assholes from Long Island (usually Garden City) spout off about how basketball wasn't a real sport and how superior hockey was as a sport. I just don't see it. They all became big pussies when they started wearing helmets like some yuppies puppie on a skateboard.
Now baseball is over and the Giants only play once a week and the Knicks suck and there is nothing to watch.
Man I hate hockey.

You stole my cool centerfielder, so quit yer bitchin'!
Oh, and I don't like hockey either... and I have Gordie Howe's autograph!
Hockey is great when it's 5 versus 4. Exciting power plays and heroic defense and goal tending. Which is why the whole game should be first one team then the other short handed. Heck, they're probably fouling each other at that rate anyway.
One of the greatest chicken rancher movies ever made!
The thing about hockey players is that they seldom get into trouble.
A sport cannot be a real major league sport until some of its players shoot themselves in the leg in strip clubs, murder someone "accidentally", have a posse of 30 hangers-on, beat their wives, philander, get pierced and tattooed, and bail on their child support.
Until the players step up and act like real major athletes, hockey will remain a second-tier sport.
Love it in person - sucks on TV
Baseball's fine,
Football's rougher,
Basketballers all are tall
But I like hockey,
Hockey's tougher,
You must play without a ball
(Think about it!)
