Hockey may be the best example of a sport that doesn't translate to TV very well.

I've never seen an NHL game live, but I saw a local minor league Hockey game live and the action was freaking violently fast and furious. TV can't even come close to the excitement a live hockey game brings.

I'm pretty ignorant of hockey rules too, but most hockey fans put it right up there with football as an awesome sport.

I'm not a fan by any stretch, but no sport is better live than Hockey. It's insane.

Hockey schmockey...

and I'm like you, Danno...ignorant to the rules. Pretty hard to know anything about hockey when you're and old fart who grew up on the Gulf Coast. I had plenty of football, baseball, basketball, and track stuff piled all in my closet...but not even a hockey ball.
