On ice right now Team USA vs Team Canada. For the 4 Nations Championship.
I only really got into hockey a few years ago myself. We've never had hockey around here. In high school, it was football, Wrestling & baseball for me.I am getting into hockey… I still am trying to figure the game out. I’ll be honest!
We have a local semi pro team and have went a few times… Man, what an atmosphere and so much fun!
As said, I am learning the rules… but liking it a lot! There are a few fights but are broken up quickly.
I usually cheer on with a cold IBC Scotch Ale!
I haven't seen any, but there's still hope lolAny fights yet lol?

Yes it was a fun and fast series, and all brought out the best ,This series was fun even without the added BS of the political world.
Yes I think it is great that at the end they still shake hands and talk.Hockey players have a way different mentality compared to other pro athletes.
AgreeDefinitely agree that it was better than any all-star game, hockey or otherwise. Despite pre-tourney questions about whether the players would be "into it" enough to make it worthwhile, I think wearing your country's sweater meant more than enough for most all of them to step UP their game. It showed on the ice and in interviews, these games mattered more than regular season games (maybe not more than 'loffs, but only maybe).
Also, most of each team's players have, in fact, either played together or at least under the same system - Finland, Sweden, US, and Canada all have phenomenal talent-development and minor leagues - so it wasn't THAT hard for such skilled professionals, with top-notch coaches, to quickly get coordinated, even with all-new linemates.
Been to a few Predator games in Nashville. Always a good timeOn ice right now Team USA vs Team Canada. For the 4 Nations Championship.
