Why don't you like the sport of hockey or baseball?

I'll hang up and listen.

ETA I'll throw in baseball too

Not interested in debating, just learning the other side of the spectrum.

Can't see the puck. I tried watching a few games but I just can't get into it.

I think it's just that a lot of people grew up without it, so they can't get into it. I have the same problem with the NBA.

You're a lot more interested if you have some kind of connection to a team or player and people in the South aren't going to have that with the NHL.

Hockey is the most fun sport to play, and the second best to watch (after football).

I just didn't grow up watching it or playing it down here in S. La. The few Kingfish games I went to back in the day were a lot of fun as a kid, but I'm just not really that interested in watching the game.

eta: NHL video games are the shiznit!

It's great in person. Doesn't translate well to TV.

You don't need to. You can follow it by the reactions of the players. You can't see a fly ball, but you can tell what's happening by watching the outfielder. You can't always see the football, but you can see who's getting tackled or who's reaching for a pass.

Nothing wrong with that. It's not for everyone.

It's this for me. If Houston had a team when I was growing up, I have no doubt that I'd be interested in hockey.

To an extent, yes, but it is better in person. I still think it's pretty good TV-wise.

Probably bc my eyes are terrible, but it's so boring to watch IMO.

I honestly wasn't really that into it until the CBJ came to town. Now I put it right behind football.
