I know the NHL's popularity is way down right now, and I have not been as into hockey as I used to be, but I am starting to think it is the best sport to see live. I went to Bruins vs. Blues on Saturday and it was such a great time. I don't know of any other sport where you can sit right up close near the action while drinking whiskey. You get to see guys get slammed into boards, you get to see fights, ridiculous saves, crazy goals. Plus at one point Chara nailed a guy into the boards right in front of us and the guy in the front rows beer splashed all over him, which I found hilarious. It was ugly christmas sweater night so many of the fans in attendance were wearing terrible sweaters. They even gave a prize to the guy with the ugliest one. How does it get better than that? And after first period you get to see the tiny kids play, which is hilarious, especially when you are drunk.
Does anyone else think NHL hockey is mostly being overlooked right now?
