Stance: Goofy
I've never been able to understand the peeps that don't find hockey exciting … especially after going to live games and watching in it's pure form.
I'm guessing most of the non-lovers just never took the time to 'understand' the game.
NHL playoff season is the best time of the year and sooo many peeps miss out.
To be fair it is a lot to get. There aren't frequent whistles, it looks like chaos without any structure and there isn't really "out of bounds" or a lot of down time. Mrs 43 struggled with it at first. She grew up in a football and baseball household.
It does take effort to really get to know the game. And some people don't want to make the effort. Their loss.
And I wish the NHL would stop trying to woo those people who don't want to bother.
