Good old Patrick Roy - coach of Avalanche - always effective.

Was a big fan of him during his goalie days in Montreal

Hah nyc nice pic - I enjoy Olympics hockey but...just the fact it's all NHL stars kind of does take away from the pure amateur aspect of Olympics...

Long boring night. That is how much I dislike watching hockey.

And this is coming from a sports crazy family and all state girls basketball player.

Hahaha, sorry to comment on an old post. I think it is Geography Sandy. Personally I have no clue why there are even NHL Teams in CA, AZ, FL, TN, TX, SC, etc. Nobody cares about Hockey in these places.

In my general Area. Sharks have been like the Dallas Mavericks were. Been to the Playoffs like 12 years straight. Their TV ratings are horrible. They do sell out all the time. For some odd reason here ever since I was in elementary school in the 90's. Nerds and Computer Geeks who like no other sports love Hockey. I have no clue why. It is one of the strangest things.

People for years would rather watch the Warriors win 20 games and finish in dead last than watch the Sharks here.

Still a fun sport to watch - there are some traditions...especially up here but you're right vogeltron, too many markets lack interest

After being in Vegas this last week for a trade show. I do believe I have talked to more Canadians than I ever have in my entire life. Was very interesting. I will say and I talked to several people about hockey. I am from California it doesn't snow in the populated areas I could care less.

To me it is like when the Florida Marlins or some **** team that the locals don't even care about win. It is an insult to the sport. I understand small market teams. But when you are even in a big market and the Ducks or the Kings win and Nobody cares. It is like an insult to everyone else. I understand Hockey is a religion in Canada. Like football is in Texas. It is seriously messed up having teams in Nashville and Florida and all these other places. I guess maybe the retired Canadians in AZ go to see their home team play vs the Coyotes I have no idea who else goes.
