Things I got from watching a NHL game live:
Players utilises puck bounce against the wall of the rink, flip of the puck and puck kick off skates to get things done a lot. Like, WAAAAY more than I ever thought possible. I love it.
Goalies' intricate rituals during intermissions are to be observed and treasured. Fuck, I LOVE goalies.
I do NOT like shoot out as a deciding factor for a game. Like, really DON'T. But for exhibition games it is sort of fun & a bit of a novelty.
Goalies leaving the crease is actually super strategic, some of the times, especially when they get control of the puck behind the net. But fuck, it is heart stopping at times.
Also, when goalies gets pulled they move super fast. It is like they just disappear - it is all sort of amazing.
I don't think I like fights UNLESS it's for a damn good reason. Otherwise it just stalls the game. Sort of irritating. Ahahaha.
I LOVE watching the players interact with each during breaks - covering their mouth & whispering to each other, hip bumping into each other,using sticks to hit each other in annoyance etc.
The LIVE keyboard/organ player is AWESOME.
Umpires skating around the rink at the beginning of every period - check the net etc is awesome.
The IMPORTANCE of goalies. Holy fuck, they are your babies. You MUST PROTECT THEM.
They changed the line-up today, and I know this is pre-season etc but the Coyotes are actually really decent. Dumba getting 3 penalties in like 2 periods is the most Dumba thing to do.
