I find that people who say that they don't like hockey have most often not actually watched a hockey game live. Hockey on TV is a feeble attempt to capture the excitement and fast pace of a hockey game. When viewed live it is an amazing displace of athletic grace and stamina. It is surprising how quickly they move, turn, accelerate and then accurately shoot a puck through a dozen legs into a corner of the net that is about 6 in2 at 100MPH. The game is non-stop action from buzzer to buzzer. I really wish that Seattle had a hockey team. For me, the nearest hockey team is the minor league Tri-Cities Americans.

I guess I imagined all the games I have gone to, and that my friends are inside the mascot's costume......
