Barkley even more passionate when talking hockey.

Honest question to those lurking...if anyone. Are fans more passionate, and if so, why?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Huge hit! And the play just continues.

 

[BigGameDamian]

No cheap ticky tack cheap calls in hockey.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Jeez, these goalies

Probably not.

Barkley loves the uncertainty of hockey. For those not aware, or more likely not caring, Nashville was an 8 seed. Actualky 16 seed. Worst team into the playoffs.

This is true, but when you say it's a 50-win team against a 41-win team you can really tell that there is parity in hockey.

To expand on my answer to your previous question, I think sports fans are pretty similar across the board.

 

[Mediocre Man]

That's it. Empty netter from Nashville.

Ironically, if Pittsburgh had moved to Portland a few years ago, Nashville probably would be in the East, and this still may have been the finals.

I disagree about fans.

I disagree about fans.

What's your take?

 

[Mediocre Man]

What's your take?

I've been to playoff games for all sports, and it seems to me the hockey fans are easily the most passionate. It's certainy city to city though. Blazer fans are far more passionate than say Magic fans.

Can we steal the Arizona Coyotes already? Nhl playoffs seems to be a lot better than the joke that is the NBA.

That would be amazing! Living in British Columbia I'm a huge Vancouver Canucks fan (yah, I know, they suck currently but another top 5 pick in this year's draft will help!). The Canucks have no regional rival so another team in the Pacific Northwest would definitely be welcomed. Can't believe Las Vegas got an expansion team but Portland and Seattle didn't.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Game 5, bitches.

Tune in

 

[BigGameDamian]

Game 5, bitches.

Tune in

You got to be ashamed of yourself if you not

 

[BigGameDamian]

Game is really getting heated early on.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Pens score first.

LOL these teams are tired of each other

 

[Mediocre Man]

Pens score again. All kinds of pressure on Rinne

 

[BigGameDamian]

Big hit after big hit. Players shoving and falling on the ice. Elbows being thrown and the play continues. It isn't like the NBA where you touch a player and play comes to a stop.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Beautiful passing by the Pens!

 

[BigGameDamian]

A fight broke out and the ref didn't even stop play.

 

[Mediocre Man]

One of the sports biggest stars getting down and dirty. Giving the business to PK Subban.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Pens score again.

Now it's getting really testy.

 

[BigGameDamian]

More fights. Tempers soring as 1st period comes to an end.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Is there really only two of us watching this game?

 

[1eyejack]

Go Pens

 

[Mediocre Man]

Pouring it on. Nashville not taking kindly to this

 

[1eyejack]

Pittsburgh stepped up this game

 

[Mediocre Man]

LOL, these two team are laying people out. Just brutal.

 

[brooklynballer]

It's more entertaining than the NBA Finals, I can tell you that with "surety"
