Would it be wrong of me to think being a Seattle nouveau hockey fan is just as bad a being a Seattle nouveau soccer fan?
I guess you could say NHL are the best players in the world as opposed to MLS.
But still, I have some concerns. -
I’ll report back on the “playoff atmosphere” after I attend game 3. Right now I consider both fanbases to be identical collections of commie dipshits who know little about the sport. At least at the Sounders games I’ve been to it was loud, but that was several years ago.

There's a mix of very knowledgeable hockey fans in Seattle combined with a bunch of people that go to the games because it's the cool thing to docoronabruin said:I’ll report back on the “playoff atmosphere” after I attend game 3.

That said the knowledge base is much better in Year 2 than it was in Year 1 ... I don't hear anymore the "the best part of a hockey game is seeing goals scored and I don't care who scores" like I heard last year
My guess is that most won't completely get the energy of playoff hockey immediately but it will come quickly ... few things in sports are better than going to a Stanley Cup Playoff game
I'm looking forward to Game 4 -

It takes time to develop a drug induced, Labatt Blue blacked out, no morals NHL fanbase. It's not microwave popcorn.

lol 2-0 in the 1st.
Abortion that Tampa even lost to Colorado last year. Probably don't if Point doesn't get cheap shotted by Toronto. -
Avs in 6

Not a total loss losing tonight as getting the split was really the goal of the trip ... but being up 2-0 after 1 tonight brought being greedy into play
Good lesson for the Kraken as a group about how desperate you have to be in playoff hockey as the last 40 for Colorado tonight was effectively a Game 7 for them. The Kraken have a lot of players with deep playoff experience but as a group they haven't gone through it together yet and it showed at times.
On the whole, they are where you would have wanted them to be heading home and it's probably realistic to be thinking a split at home is likely.
Winning another game in Colorado is likely needed to win the series. -
The Kraken could move to Oklahoma City and it wouldn't matter much to me. But that's just me

OKC would be a better hockey town

Again, it's possible the game grows on you. Having an NHL team in town makes that far more likely than before, I would think. Somebody gives you free tickets, chick you're seeing is into it and has you watch with her, you get invited to a watch party during a playoff run - lots of ways you could end up getting pulled into it and liking the game.DerekJohnson said:

Not saying you will, don't twist. You might not.

In person, hockey is pretty fun. I used to go to Silvertips games all the time. Have also driven up to Vancouver for an NHL game in the past.dnc said:

Hockey is a horrible tv sport and I think that's the barrier for me. Too expensive to go to games in person and half-impossible to watch on tv. -
The only hockey game I've been to was with my long lost buddy Glen O' Connor. Thunderbirds vs Tri-Cities, March 1990.

I grew up on Hockey Night in Canada on Vancouver CBC. Could pick it up over air
It's a great game that I don't watch anymore -
I can’t understand why anyone who likes football wouldn’t also enjoy hockey. Also, the CBC is dead to me #FreeDonCherry

Colorado won't win the cup but they still have their core. Seattle has done a great job just to be dangerous. They would take out some other playoff teams, Vegas, Dallas, Minnesota.
Look at my Sharks plus Vancouver. Fucking abortion. -
Awfully quiet in here… Tell me more about how great your little poser franchise is boys. I love it!

The people responsible for getting the sodo arena cancelled should all be in prison. I had forgotten how much of a pain in the ass it is to even get to key arena (fuck your climate pledge bitch), let alone the lack of amenities once you get inside.coronabruin said:I’ll report back on the “playoff atmosphere” after I attend game 3.

Sat next to an older BRUINS fan and said it would make a lot of BRUIN SENSE if we got to play each other in the finals. @creepycoug Told him Cale Makar is as good as Bobby Orr.
Kraken fans were mostly cool. Ran into my hot coworker and hugged her in front of her husband. Some guy knocked my stanley cup champs hat off my head as I was walking back to my seat during the second intermission. I told the usher not to kick him because I wanted him to watch the 3rd period. Sat in the lower bowl right behind Grubauer for the 1st/3rd, so I got to witness 5 goals by my team up close. Kind of hoping it goes to 6 games so I can go again.
