It's so boring, everything feels delayed because you can't see the damn puck, i feel like the goalie is so big and goal so small if he just squats in the goal he should stop 90% of shots,.it's just a humpfest on the boards, it has no flow, hey smack it into the corner again. Ugh. I hate it You, sir, have poor coordination and no taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Man, so today after playing video games with my best friend from childhood last night (online - he lives in OH now) and drinking, I woke up and he had shot me a text. I went to call him and called another friend by mistake (both have the same first name). Once I realized I had screwed up and was talking to another friend that I hadn't talked to in a few years, it hit me. The friend I actually called, has cancer. Over a year ago, they discovered he had some rare type of cancer and he had it removed. He had some set-backs and about 3 months ago, it had metastasized to his lung. He had surgery to remove most of his lung. We had a great talk, he is an outstanding man, father, husband. For his first born child, we gave him our daughters old crib and one of those kick ass strollers. He always wanted to take me out for dinner to repay us, which wasn't necessary, cause I had no problem giving to someone as nice and caring as he was. I have to say it really hit home on our conversation when he told me that if the last surgery didn't work, he only had 6-18 months to live. I'm glad I called him and I think the powers that be is what led me to talking to him. I hope my friend pulls through and can watch his two kids grow up with his beautiful wife. Don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but just felt the need to get this off my chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could tell me there wasn't and it was actually a battle of mimes and it would make about the same amount of sense I could sympathize with your plight if this were the days of 480i television, but we've entered the world of HD and the puck is very trackable. I will concede it may be difficult for new watchers, but when you've watched enough hockey, you get a feel for how the puck will bounce and can anticipate its movements. Edit: I don't know how much you know about the history of Hockey broadcast, but back in the 90s before HDTV, Fox experimented with implanting a microchip in the pucks in order to track their movement for the viewing audience. Notice how it goes from blue to red when the slapshot is fired Somewhat interestingly, the last appearance of the FoxTrax was during the Capitals one and only time playing in the Stanley Cup Finals.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Frigging freak weekend at work. I'm staying up all night to go back at 5 am, after I just left at midnight. We are so loaded down, and I'm the only mf working. On top of that, we finally got a huge rain event that lasted about 36 hours straight. Frigging thunder and lightning mixed in like crazy. Ain't no dog got time for that. Half of 'em are scared, and if they go outside of the overhang, they get drenched and muddy as all get-out. Let's not even discuss the broken ass hospitalized patients. Gotta leash walk and towel walk their satellite dish-collar wearing asses. I'm not mad. I'm not mad.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 @PokerPacker I thought to make that initial post while watching in a Vegas sports book on a huge HD TV. I was still lost. I assumed that's because I was a new watcher. Still, the rink seems too small for that many players. Make it 2v2 plus goalies and make the goal bigger. Now maybe we have something. Also, bring back the red/blue tracking graphics lol. Maybe lightning bolts and stuff on hard shots. #MakeHockeyGreatForTheFirstTime #MHGFTFT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wanna watch a more open game, watch international hockey; it's played on a bigger rink. In North America, we play on a smaller rink which means more contact; more hitting. And we don't need bigger nets, either. One thing that has been subject to tweaking is changing the size of goalie equipment. It had grown a bit large and lately there's been new regulations reigning that in. Also, the pacing of a hockey game can vary greatly depending on the teams playing. You'll get some games that are a heavy grind with a lot digging for the puck along the boards and dump-and-chase zone-entry. And you'll have some games with a lot of quick north-south movement and end-to-end rushes. Other games that played more East-West with passing and deking around in the neutral zone. Really depends on the make-up of the two teams playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 It was there Rangers game earlier. It was the heavy grind type I am assuming. Anyway....need some brainpower cuz I am dead tired and might be missing something. I just passed this wheel in the Ballys casino. This wheel has 6 sections. Each section has 9 numbers inside it. The numbers break down like this: 54 total slots/numbers 39 slots are either 1 or 2. 1 slot is 40 (white) 1 slot is 40 (red) 7 slots are 5 4 slots are 10 2 slots are 20 24 slots are 1 15 slots are 2 Payout goes 40 (40-1) 20 (20-1) 10 (10-1) 5 (5-1) 2 (2-1) 1 (1-1) That means that 72% of the time it will land on either a 1 or 2. So if you bet $300 on 1 (payout would be $300) and $200 on 2 (payout would be $400) you cover yourself both ways and would have a 72% chance of winning $100 every spin. Those are amazing odds, far better than any other game on the floor. Even going small, $10 and $7 and you have a 72% chance of making $3-4 over and over. Seems like it will outweigh the 28% chance it busts Edit: Damn never mind. I guess spinning it 10 times you win 7 and would be up $700 to the 3 losses would put you back $1500. I knew I wasn't thinking it thru. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explains why all hockey players look so surprised and stunned when the lights flash and a goal is awarded. They never know when it's going to happen.

TradeTheBeal! Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 You know what would improve hockey? If the refs stopped the action every time any two players made contact, roughly 75 times a game, and had guys standing around taking shots at an unguarded goal. That way the officials could utterly control the outcome of every contest and ensure the most popular team wins. That would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Lol hockey haters in full force boys. I've seen this on Reddit too, people "Just don't get hockey" well watch it more if you don't understand. And if you STILL don't understand...watch it again until you do I'd watch a hockey game anytime as opposed to the boring ass NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
