Ever notice how Hockey is the only sport that never gets legitimate criticism on this board? Everyone hates it for some reason but no one can ever articulate why like they can with other sports.
NFL >Too many commercials, hitting and defense is basically illegal now
NBA >Manufactured drama, no parity, awful refs,
MLB >Slow and boring, archaic "unwritten rules"
Soccer >All the players are flopping bitches, low scoring
NHL >It's irrelevant lol
There's never a legit reason not to like it. People don't like it solely because of groupthink
i genuinely didn't know that the playoffs were still going on till i caught game 7 of the fucking finals on, on a tv in my gym
hockey doesn't get crticised since its utlimately completely irrelevant to every other sport it can be compared too

>fur puck
Theres a much bigger reason people don't like it user, and sadly its nothing to do with the game.
Josiah Adams
Love hockey cause it's violent and my hometown hockey fans are straight up fascists. Not kidding.
Grayson Kelly
> difficult to follow the puck > low scoring > incredibly random
pretty valid reasons
Alexander Wright
Pretty much. Hockey is niche sport like figure skating.

>people cant follow the puck when 4k TVs are a thing I could get not being able to see the puck well in the 80s but we have so much definition now a black disc on a white plane should be one of the easiest things to see

Yeah, it really lacks mechanically. Also fights are fucking cringe, because they basically involve players dedicated to them, that teams keep as circus clowns. But I guess it has more to do with consumerist American cultural influence, than the sport itself.
Juan James
Fights have been becoming less prevalent every year >herp derp American culture causes hockey fights (You)
Carter Hughes
its just not enjoyable
Josiah Lopez
Yeah, because your capitalism trying to be more humane in recent times. Stop feeling attacked and honestly tell me: what else? Sex sells, violence sells, now caring sells too. Fights were never a part of the Soviet hockey.
