I think I’ve been converted…
I hated Hockey growing up, especially trying to watch it on a black and white TV that needed rabbit-ear adjustments…
I couldn’t see the damned puck.
Now, with HDTV, its all there in living colour.
I guess it helps that I work with a bunch of rabid Bruins fans, and since I’m from Western CT and have always considered myself a Rangers fan by proximity, it got to the point that I had to watch games if I wanted to trash talk.
And you know what, I like it.
In my opinion, your average hockey player is much more relatable than your average NFL player.
I’ve watched a lot of football this season, 0 NBA (if anything, I’m a Knicks fan so I got nothing to watch…), and a lot of Rangers Hockey.
In years past, I had nothing to watch post Super Bowl. This year, I’m going to be following the Rangers’ playoff hunt.
