[quote RgrF]Stanley has a cup? I hope he remembers to wear it if he ever plays any real sport or at least one that doesn't depend on fist fights or auto wrecks to draw an audience.
I take it you haven't really watched hockey lately. There are no more fists thrown in hockey than there are in baseball, football or basketball. Hockey is fast, intense and graceful all at once. Playoff hockey takes that up 100 notches. Playoff hockey in person takes it up 10,000 notches. An unreal experience.
Hockey players are the toughest and most skilled athletes of any of the major sports. The Stanley Cup is the most grueling and difficult to win in all of sport, a true battle of attrition. A real sport? I'd love to see you try it. You may not like it but to say it's not a real sport is ignorant.
