If hockey was always sudden death during a possible elimination game, it would be way more exciting to watch on TV.

Unless you just love hockey though, it's not enjoyable to watch on TV.

Note - I've only seen hockey once live, and that was a Gulls minor league game in SD. That was super fun. For whatever reason, that sport is just way more impressive live, than it is on TV.

We're gonna have to agree to disagree on this. I've reached this stage of my life where I enjoy watching games on tv more than going out. You get a comfy couch, a big screen tv, your choice of food and beverage options (that don't cost 3-4 times what they do in a grocery store). You can watch every replay in high-def slow mo to figure out if it was a goal or not. You can pause it to hit the head or do whatever, fast forward through commercials, whatever. There is no 45 minute commute to get into your downtown living room to watch the game. I love the tv experience since it's come so far in the last 20 years.

I definitely agree in general, that it's more enjoyable to watch games at home nowadays. I'm so glad I can watch our games on YouTube TV this year. If it was 500 bucks, I'd still do it, and likely still save money. But the convenience is worth just as much or more than any savings.

I've just never been a hockey fan, so I don't understand it on TV. It just looks like a bunch of dudes skating randomly after the puck. I guess I don't understand it live either, but you can see the whole rink and follow the puck easier, so it seems easier to follow.

All playoff games are sudden death in OT. Do you mean all hockey games?

My suggestion when watching on TV is to watch the players and not the puck. If you watch the puck it looks muddled and confusing

Yeah, if every game was 1st goal wins. No halftimes or anything. Just play until someone scores.
