Super Bowl Pool

[cigarsarge]

I don't know a thing about hockey...I'd risk a few sticks in a pool though.

Right on......gotta love a game where you only get a 5 min penalty for smacking the crap out of your opposition.

. . . or where you play only that long before you have to sit down.

I agree with half of your statement. Playoff hockey is increadable. The second half I have to disagree with. Im more of a "Lets go Rangers" kind of guy

Playoff hockey is awesome! But you're both a little confused about the second part. Go Stars! I'd play a couple of sticks in a contest.

I don't think I've ever seen a five minute shift at the pro level. 90 seconds seems like a marathon when you're playing at that speed.

Hockey in Florida sucks... *sigh*

Yeah, I would play for a couple sticks.

Looks like we have a few hockey fans here. I will be trying to come up with a nice contest for the playoffs. Maybe next year we can set up a fantasy hockey league, and the winner at the end of the season gets a nice bunch of stick, we can leave that untill the offseason. AS for the playoffs, if anyone has any ideas shoot me over a PM and well get something figured out. I guess the super bowl pool isnt going to make it. Maybe we can make some straight bets one on one. Anyone intrested in taking the Pats, Ill take the Giants in a bet or 2.

You can just send out some cigars, and save the heartache

Hey, they never thought the Giants would get past the Packers but they did.

Yeah - didn't know how long a shift is, just that they're really short and that the athleticism required to play the game must be incredible, and then they crank it up some more for playoffs!

Yup, just like they always say it's the hardest trophy to win in all of sports. They have 4 rounds of playoffs each with the potential to go 7 games.

I played hockey for about 13 years, from the time I was 4 untill about 2 years ago. I can tell you that the average shift of about 45 seconds, to a minute tops is the most exahusting 45 seconds you can experience in sports. On many occasions I have hoped over the boards after a hard shift and "puked my brains up". It is an awsome feeling though when things are going your way and your team is playing good. The pain sort of takes a back seat and you do what you have to do.

while i never played hockey (grew up in AL about 2 hours from the nearest rink) i may have to debate that as the most grueling 45 seconds. my arguement would be for wrestling. Hardest thing i have even done physically in my entire life.
