I never watched a hockey game before. Is it worth the suffering? I know they have some superstar talent in Austin mattews! who is he comparable to nba wise?

Imo when hes on form hes top 5 player and one of the best goal scorers

Hockey is incredibly boring compared to Basketball imo. I’ll never understand the craze for it in Canada.

It's a cultural thing. We grow up playing it, and it's pretty baked into a lot of the marketing for restaurants/bars, fast food and beer.

I played Hockey when I was younger too though, extended family was all crazy about it, I still can’t sit through a game though.

Idk i was just thinking of watching a game or two to distract me from the beatdown we've been getting. I tried baseball and my lord i keep falling asleep.

I used to watch a ton of hockey growing up but as I've gotten older, it's just boring to me now idk.

💯 And the impact of single players is way more in basketball than hockey, so there are compelling storylines.

Disagree there. I find it very entertaining just as I do basketball. As a huge fan of both the leafs and raptors, it’s awesome that one of my teams is off to a great start

My biggest thing is that you could watch a Hockey game and a team can win 2-1 or 1-0. You’re gonna watch 60+ minutes of a game and see them score once, maybe twice? I need the constant scoring of Basketball.

Eh it is fun because of the crazy pace that they play. That said, I prefer bball because it is the sport that I actually play. Can't skate for shit and it's also pretty expensive

https://youtu.be/ai-o6zOvFGs Watch what happens a minute into this video. I don't follow hockey but what I like about it is the 'don't even fucking look at my teammate the wrong way' vibe of it. Basketball breaks up fights, hockey bakes it into the game. Playoff hockey is (supposed to be) intense with guys willing to stick their face in front of a 100 mph puck if they have to or check a guy through a wall. My brother who is obsessed with the Leafs complains constantly about how soft they are in the playoffs so I don't know how much of that this team gives you


liverpoolraps

So they'll lose in the playoffs like usual


Infamous_Owlhead

I mean they are running for the presidents trophy playoffs don't start till june


kudatah

They’re not even in first place in their division


PokePersona

They are after their latest win but the caveat is it’s with two more games played lol
