Amercians always complain that that is why they don;t watch hockey -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 12:51 10
- not me. I like it a lot, but I follow the puck more than a lot of y'all apparently do. -- nm - b. Jan 5, 12:56
- i used to watch hockey when it was on ESPN. i think their abandoning it in the US really hurt -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 5, 12:53
- well, yes, but that would be phrased as "can't follow the puck", not "don't follow the puck" ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 12:51 7
  - iirc, I had shared that sometimes it was hard for me to follow the puck when watching hockey, especially in person. - b. Jan 5, 13:02 5
    - ah, I see. "Follow the Action", I guess is what they meant. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 13:04 4
      - (Personally, I don't get the problem. Enjoying the sport is as simple as watching the TV. ;-) ) - Beryllium Jan 5, 13:07 2
        
        re: the clock (and there's none in baseball, btw - heh), there has to be some endpoint. - b. Jan 5, 13:11 1
        
        I understand, but in hockey the passage of time is clearly delineated. In football and soccer, it is not. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 13:12
      - yah. it's a combo. for me. -- nm - b. Jan 5, 13:07
  - I can't follow what you're saying -- nm - Guigue Jan 5, 13:00
