Regular Season Hockey vs. Playoff Hockey

[BlueSpread]

Am I the only one that cannot get into regular season hockey for the life of me? Once the playoffs begin it's a whole different game in my opinion. I'm guessing the it's the intensity or something.

I won't go out of my way to watch a game, but will if its on while flipping channels. The fact its not on ESPN doesn't help either. You're right though, the intensity of the game and the fans changes absurdly from regular season to the playoffs.

I love hockey. I live in Chicago. The only team I want to win in the NHL is the Wings, I don't follow or watch hockey until the playoffs start..

Are you going to the Winter Classic? Should be an awesome event!!

BBB,

Tickets for that are going to be impossible to get, unless I'm willing to shell out abougt $200 / ticket. And, at that time of year, in Chicago - it can get awfully cold. So, I'm going to pass - unless someone gives me a call at the last minute and has tickets in a skybox...

Glad to see I'm not alone. I hope the debacle with VS. and the NHL playoffs isn't repeated.
