Is he just trying to throw the midterms?

Hockey is pretty cool. Basketball should just give each team 90 points and start the game with 5 minutes left…

Spot on. I like the relative slow speed of baseball, football, of course golf, and even soccer. It helps teach patience and strategy in such an ADD world.

Hard to beat the action you see in hockey, even players will completely tear their ACL and as they hobble off will score, or assist in a goal, it just happened the other day. In soccer if you look at someone wrong, they fall on the ground like they just got shot by a sniper.

I’m a huge Olympics fan, a lot of good sports there to watch. The biathlon, for example, is great, cross country skiing, which is by itself, intense and fun, combined with shooting. Sorry for any typos, I dictated this response.

It’s one of the only ways to get stoppage in play so that the players on the field can get a breather in the two 45 minute plus stoppage time halves. In hockey the forwards and defence are rarely on the ice for more than a minute or two at most of continuous play before going back to the bench for a line change.

That’s true enough but it seems to me they do it hoping to draw a foul not to rest.

Let me add the caveat that I’m only a soccer fan for a few weeks every four years.
