Haha! Right on... Hockey vs. Soccer hmmm let's see. WHAT is more interesting to watch?A. a bunch of human squids whos uniform doesn't even match that of their goalie's; they run back and forth, up and down, side to side, up/ down, back/ forth & diagonal & sideways... running, running, once in a while kicking, running. ...all the while chasing after a PC ebony and ivory ball, and after about 238 minutes of NO scoring chances, one goes in and a guy yells GGGGGGGGOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!! (no wonder he is so excited, something actually HAPPENED). Tedium. Or: B. A bunch of scrappy, toothless maniacs with sticks and skates, war it out on the frozen battlefield, with fast pace, 3-on-2's, breakaways, power plays, tape to tape stick-hopping passes, Epic Brawls, speed, skill, power and finesse. Blistering slap shots, lethal one-timers, deadly accurate wristers going top-shelf or 5-hole, bone-crushing body checks, momentum shifts, battles along the boards, stellar & human contortionist goalie saves and awesome individual effort. Once in a while you even get crowd "participation" when a mutant goon like Tie Dummy decides to "take matters into his own hands". And even in a low-scoring game, the tension is constant; infact, even more so. You choose. The worldwide popularity of soccer has always baffled me.
