CastlevaniaNut18 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I confess, I loved The Mighty Ducks movies as a kid and I thought it was a cool sport. But growing up where I did, I wasn’t an option for me. Anyway, here I am at age 35, deciding I wanna watch some games and damn, this is a fun sport. I regret not getting into it sooner. Guess I’ll be following the Bruins, given my affinity for New England sports, plus I’m at least somewhat familiar with that team since I follow a couple NE sports websites. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Playoff hockey is a step above other sports. You'll certainly be in for a treat when you get to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I only watch playoff hockey. I will got to a few games a year since the Devils are close by, but I don’t root for anyone in particular. I’ll support any of the local teams when in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I honestly tried to give ice hockey a shot at attempting to watch it, but I gave up because my "Developing World" background simply revolted against a sport that involves ice and so many white people.

Pretty sure next time I visit Boston, I’ll be going to TD Garden. I think it would be cool to see a hockey game in person. Been to quite a few MLB games now, but no NBA or NFL. Though I think I care about NFL the least in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes time to pick up the nuance of the sport but if you can figure out football you can get hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 Really glad I finally got into hockey. It’s been exciting. Gonna watch today and see if the Bruins can break the single season record for wins. Super excited for the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUFKAK Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 They’ll still bow out in the first round. Honestly though if I were a Bs fan I’d be worried about playing the isles in the first round. Better hope the Pens sneak into the final wild card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUFKAK Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Well @CastlevaniaNut18bruins are a shoe in for the next round as the panthers are not a solid team. Granted they can re discover their game and sneak out a victory over the bruins for sure but they’re not nearly as concerning as the isles. Isles hurricanes should be a good series and leaf’s lighting will likely go the distance again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69los Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 As the resident Islanders fan, I'll say I'm not totally discouraged after last night. I'm used to the PP being ass and this team playing dead for the 1st 55 minutes of a game. Barzy was noticeably rusty and our PK was uncharacteristically bad. I'm predicting a long, home-team series which means we just need to steal one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUFKAK Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Yep this the team I expect every playoffs 😂 It’s honestly just funny at this point. Time to grill, I’ll have it on in the background but I’ve better things to do than watch the same story for another year. The bolts are massively outclassing the leafs.

I’ll always root for them in the background. But I’m not wasting an off day for this team again. I started watching Star Trek in the third period. I’ll tune back in for the kraken. but I am done with this franchise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyHell Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 It's been 12 years, good time for the Bruins to go the whole way. If they can win in Florida today, it'll be a good boost. Rangers have definitely played well. The Leafs are the Leafs, but if they could pull it out, it'd be a hype second round. Jets vs oilers would be an interesting second round match up, but I'm not betting on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler But they are the Leafs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
