NHL in London

Anaheim Ducks vs Los Angeles Kings at the 35,000 seat O2 arena. Does anybody in
the UK give a shit? Somehow it sold out, so maybe I'm
underestimating hockey's popularity over there. Do they want
to see some blood?

Indeed it is, you can watch it spurt on youtube. He survived and continued his
career. ^_^

the O2 arena is inside the newly reopened Millenium Dome, so
i'm sure that helped sell a few seats.

Hockey is a crap form of Rugby. You don't need to dress up
and have music playing to add to the sport. It's a far cry
from being a 'Gladiator'. It's bad sports/sport on ice
really.

Hockey and rugby are both great, and not at all similar.

And hockey players don't ''dress up'' to add to the game,
they ''dress up'' so they don't... get killed. The human
body isn't meant to withstand that kind of rigor and kinetic
energy transfer. Going gearless is fine for rugby, but
that's an easier sport.

Speaking of gladiators, the origins of hockey can be traced
back to those queer armor thingies like Kirk Douglas was
wearing in Spartacus.

hockey is not at all like rugby.

your usual english "quibs" don't even merit a response but
this one is so stupid (or smart) that i can't help but reply

Kopitar is pretty damn good. He even had 2 assists last
night. My Montreal Canadiens could have drafted him... I
cringed when they passed on him.

(we did get Carey Price who is also great, and quite a bit
more handsome)

have, hahaha...they have this 19yr old kid doing it now,
they sent cloutier to the minors after giving him a big
money contract, hahahahahah
