Yep its pretty fun to watch....though even if leafs lose, I will enjoy coz I can taunt and tease the many leafs fans I know hehe.
I am also rooting for the jets.
Great first period so far. There's really nothing like playoff hockey, not even the superbowl has this kind of incredible back and forth constant action. It's the most exciting sport by far.
Soccer is almost the WORST! Although it is better than cricket. I know that's practically sacrilegious to say that here on a Pakistani forum with many Indian members, but I'd rather take a 5 lbs sledge hammer to the forehead than to watch a cricket match or whatever it's called. Ooof. Brutal.
But soccer, there's another nightmare.
- Goalie has the ball
- Goalie bounces the ball
- Goalie dribbles the ball to the other side of the box
- Goalie turns around and dribbles back to the middle of the box
- Goalie points his finger to somewhere in midfield direction
- Goalie then decides to pass the ball to defender
- Defender passes the ball to other defender
- Other defender passes to midfielder
- Midfielder passes to right winger
- Right winger passes back to midfielder
- Midfielder passes back to defender
- Defender gets bumped gently on the shoulder falls down screaming in pain holding his ankle!
- Half the bench comes onto the field with a stretcher and a milk crate filed with water bottles
- Everyone gets a drink while the actor rolls around looking for an Oscar
- Bench doctor sprays something on the knee and thigh!
- 10 minutes later he's up pretending his ankle that got hurt from his shoulder but is feeling better
- 20 minutes later finally everyone clears the field and defender kicks the ball to other defender
- Other defender passes ball back to goalie
- Repeat entire process!
Absolute torture!
In contrast, this is how exciting hockey is. 11 goals scored last night in this fantastic elimination game. Constant action.
