Amazing intensity in NHL playoffs

4/25/2011 9:17:48 PM

Playoff hockey is some of the best display of sport.....

Its not like its the regular season, I get it when people don't want to watch that shit... but this is different.

4/25/2011 9:18:20 PM

your loss. if you're a sports fan, you've got to admire the intensity.

4/25/2011 9:19:28 PM

I'm a fan of watching blacks and Latinos playing sports

4/25/2011 9:23:13 PM

hockey NBA playoffs? can't believe this shit is on my satellite beam

4/25/2011 9:23:18 PM

Or even better, NBA d-league playoffs

4/25/2011 9:24:39 PM

i, too, think minor league sports are tough to watch

4/25/2011 9:25:45 PM

they had a d-league game on after the late night hockey game... it was played in a goddamn gym. I think my high school sat more people

4/25/2011 9:27:59 PM

it was also tape delayed.

tape delayed sports aren't sports

anyway, NHL playoffs > NBA playoffs

220 points > 5 points

4/25/2011 9:35:46 PM

NFL > *

assuming theres even a season

4/25/2011 9:36:01 PM

^^nhl ot > NBA ot

4/25/2011 9:39:22 PM

don't get me wrong. i like going to hockey games. hell, i actually kind of enjoy the sport

but when there's NBA and MLB going against hockey, the revenue sports will always win

4/25/2011 9:42:12 PM

NHL playoff passion/Intensity > *. If you have a chance at least watch one 3rd period.

4/25/2011 9:43:02 PM

It's pretty common knowledge that hockey playoffs are by far the best in sport, relative to the regular season, no?

Well they just signed a $2 billion television deal with NBC. Total revenue for this season is expected to be around $3 billion.

4/25/2011 10:11:52 PM

I would love to believe that figure

4/25/2011 10:16:21 PM

Keep hockey off my direct tv...thank you

4/25/2011 10:16:52 PM

that's the moral of the thread

4/25/2011 10:19:17 PM

hockey/soccer need to start their own channel called FAGS ONLY

4/25/2011 10:27:30 PM

Oh really?

4/25/2011 10:28:26 PM

Doesn't the NBA lose money? Isn't that why the owners are basically forcing a lockout coming?

i keep reading playoff articles

someone help me, where are the articles about the hurricanes?

4/26/2011 1:50:37 AM

Since the Canes aren't in, I haven't watched as much as I usually do. But, their AHL affiliate in Charlotte is still alive in their playoffs, and have home games next Monday and Wednesday (next Friday as well if necessary). I'll definitely be heading to a game.

i want to believe that yall niggas posting in a troll thread, but i have to believe ncstatetke and nym410 would choose to watch april baseball and terrible nba playoff games over hockey, even if it were the hurricanes in a game 7 OT thriller.

4/26/2011 8:24:30 AM

NBA and MLB are both snooze-fests for me.

4/26/2011 8:30:41 AM

I love playoff hockey. It is 10 times better when you got a dog in the fight though.

4/26/2011 8:34:43 AM

hockey is the only sport worth watching and playoff hockey is its peak. If you have an HD tv for anything other than watching hockey, you got scammed.

go bruins.

4/26/2011 9:54:58 AM

but for real though they should move all of ESPN and other disney owned channels off my cable to another tier. save me $15 a month.

Me? I love hockey... playoffs are amazing. I wasn't being facetious in my post.

4/26/2011 12:38:12 PM

When is the NHL gonna finally break the color barrier

4/26/2011 12:56:46 PM

NHL playoffs are awesome. I love it.

The NBA playoffs are kinda meh for me. I am interested, but I haven't watched a full game yet. I also don't have a favorite team in the NBA, so I'm a much more casual fan.

Kinda like the difference between prescription Ambien vs. otc sleeping aids.

4/26/2011 1:13:07 PM

^^^29/660 or so players in the league are black, or around 4.39%.

2.5% of Canada is black
12.9% of the United States is black
Under 1% of Sweden, Czech Republic, Russia, and Finland is black.

So, I really don't think the NHL is doing THAT bad given where its players come from, but of course it would be good if they could generate more interest amongst blacks.

so of the 29 black dudes in the NHL, only 6 of them are actual American brothers

[Edited on April 26, 2011 at 2:27 PM. Reason : and half of them are mixed]

4/26/2011 2:24:05 PM

oh yeah, i forgot half those guys were even in the league

4/26/2011 2:26:26 PM

Well what do you expect? Any black American kid who says he wants to be a hockey player is just going to be laughed at by his family and peers.

4/26/2011 2:34:09 PM

All 29 are as black as the president.

4/26/2011 2:40:12 PM

^wayne simmonds is as black as the kings jersey. dude is DARK.
