I don't have HD, but I've heard several people say that there's no sport that benefits as much from it as hockey. <BR/><BR/>I hope so, because right now, the game's pure poison from a ratings perspective.Hornless Rhinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358963520899550238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17539316.post-1148585462766325102006-05-25T15:31:00.000-04:002006-05-25T15:31:00.000-04:00I can see your point but I disagree.I've played bo...I can see your point but I disagree.<BR/><BR/>I've played both hockey and basketball (I've currently recovering from shoulder surgery due to a injury in intramural ice hockey - so right now I play neither) but I can't get into televised hockey.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure why, I love playing it and I love watching it live, but on TV... meh. <BR/><BR/>Basketball I could watch anytime and anywhere (not the WNBA of course) and I love the final minutes. I love the chess matches, the coaches drawing up plays (like last nights inbounds play to Boris Diaw, what a call!). I also enjoy the dumbass plays that coaches call (Daniel Ewing? Huh?). <BR/><BR/>Anways, most of my frieds bitch about how long the last two minutes of a NBA game takes, but I don't care.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210862608619471273noreply@blogger.com
