WOW!!!
The Minnesota Wild took on the Vancouver Canucks tonight, and to say that this was the most intense hockey game EVER would be a gross understatement. The Wild were ahead two nothing in the first, the Canucks scored to make it two to one in the second, and scored again to tie it up at two in the third. In the second period, the goaltending on both ends was unprecidented! Both goalies were UNLOADED on, and only one goal was scored. The Wild scored again in the third, taking the lead at 3-2, but the Canucks came back near the end with an empty net and a six on four man advantage. In overtime, the Wild were able to draw a penalty, and score in the three on four man power play to WIN THE GAME!!! By far the most intense hockey game I've ever seen; even more intense than last seasons 10 round shoot out against Dallas. I'm fighting for air after that game, and kicking myself for not recording it. Woo.

And I'm kickin you for waking me up
Ah I love hockey. Unfortunately here in the South it doesn't really come on TV all that much because it's not all that popular. I wish we got more hockey on channels here. I don't really like basketball or [American] football, so I don't really watch much sports I guess. But I love hockey. I like to play roller hockey in a parking lot when it gets warmer here. I've never tried ice hockey, I don't ice skate very well.
@respawn87 - Basketball is really, really boring. Basketball is back and forth scoring, and the winner is really just the team who scores the last basket. Football is tolerable, but even that's slow. And besides, football players get plenty of time to figure out what they're going to do each time they get the ball, and basketball players have virtually nothing stopping them from putting the ball in the basket. Hockey players have to work together, think on the fly, and fight hard just to get a single point. The game doesn't stop for much, there's a goal tender on either end, and there's no in-game time to discuss anything. I love it.
