2Blazzed Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I was pretty amped to watch this. Never really gotten into hockey too much. But I always had a love n respect for the sport (nhl 94 was one of the greatest games ever) so I was pretty interested to see the inner working of a team and to catch a glipse at just how tough these guys really are and how tough the sport is. And after just watching the first video,I've come to learn that.... NONE can go a sentence or two with out saying "Fuckin'" from the referees to the coaches and trainers to the players. I hear the word "fuckin'" more in one episode. Then I did in a whole entire season of The Sopranos. Is this some sort of tradition or something in hockey? Cuz I know they got all types of weird rituals and what not...Discuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHATEU Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 went last year... Fenway was electric. that wont be duplicated again, why they chose to make a special HBO show this year and not in the most historic and celebrated ball field of all time is beyond me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuff said. the fucking winter classic has only been played in Canada once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dose-ink Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Because there is already an established market for hockey in canada, they are making an hbo series and keeping it in the states, using the 2 biggest names in the game to try and attract new fans to the game.

metronome Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Every NHL game in Canada sells out, if seats were the point. My point was Bettmans raging crosby hard on. I can't for the life of me think why there wouldn't be a 'classic NHL rivalry' like, say, Toronto/Montreal, or Toronto/New York, original six match ups. Penguins/Capitals is not a classic NHL rivalry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosluggo Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 crosby sucks go flyers :D Thats a pretty retarded thing to say. I understand your a flyers fan, but be real.

dcay Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I don't get HBO. :( I think these games are a sweet idea and having the two biggest (arguably) marketed teams is a smart idea. As for Crosby sucking. He's an phenomenal hockey player, that's pretty obvious, but the dude is a total boner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously bettman has a boner for him, he's trying to get Hockey into more homes, considering it has the smallest sports market in the united states, what better way to do this then by having arguably the 2 best players face off against each other at the biggest regular season event of the year?

SwampFightOner Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I don't really fuck with hockey, but I might check this out. Also, I've been told by easily a few hundred people in my lifetime that I use fuck more than anyone they've ever seen.

metronome Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I know Crosby is the face of the league. He's the best player in the NHL. but trying to get the NHL into places like Atlanta, Tampa Bay, wherever the Panthers play, Raleigh, Phoenix, etc is pointless. The attendance #'s in some of those Arena's is worse than the AHL. In Phoenix they had to give away Coyote tickets with a full tank of gas at one point just to get people into the arena. Now that the Canadian dollar is on par again that must infuriate the people of Winnipeg, or Quebec city (but fuck them anyway)... Move those teams to places ferther north where some semblance of rivalry can exist again and the NHL will be a bigger product as a whole.

Dose-ink Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 look at the Islanders, that market sucks, and they used to be one of the best teams in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 yeah Snow really fucked the Islanders. I've heard rumblings that Tavares wants out of there ASAP. but I can guarantee you they still have more season ticket holders than Phoenix does...

metronome Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 they're paying Yashin to make the min required salary cap. the Islanders are basically icing an AHL team every night so they can lose all year and get the first draft pick...
