Was This A BC Bowl Game or A Bruins Game?

I don’t watch much regular season hockey but I flipped on the Bruins game last night for a couple minutes and couldn’t help but notice there were like 28 people in the crowd total. And that may be exageratting. Seriously it felt like I was watching a god damn BC bowl game or something. Did the NHL fold and nobody told me? Because this was as depressing as it gets.
They could of played that game at the Burlington Ice Palace and still not sold it out.
Sounds about right. Hockey belongs in that second tier of team sports with soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, team handball, etc.
Everyone was busy buying Vomit Wear t-shirts and forgot about the game. Seriously what the fuck is that?
No, no. This is what happens when you move a team to city that hasn’t seen ice since the last ice age. & the team that they get sucks. Up north they sell out almost every game, even when their team sucks.
If you hand a kid in Atlanta an ice skate he’ll think its a shoe with a knife stuck to it. It’d be like handing an eskimo a bathing cap.
Hockey in the south is about dumb as it gets. It is however the most exciting game to watch live and requires more skill than any other sport, but the league is run by a bunch of bafoons.

Because the same thing doesn’t happen in the NBA?

You fucking goof.
Hockey not taking off in the Black Athens. Who’d a thunk it?
Too bad that Kovalchuk is wasting away there. He’s too good for that place.
Frankly, it is quite shocking with all of the disposable income people have to spend on watching bad teams in ANY sport while buying $8 beers, $6 hot dogs, and $4 candy bars.
Mcmurphy- You are just the worst.
Hockey is legendary in Boston and It is the most exciting sport to watch and play. That was the Atlanta Thrashers. Lets see that shit happen in the Bean. and the B’s are on their way to the top again. Lets see how we do from here on out
Why do people who hate Soccer or the NHL ALWAYS have to voice their opinion on how much that sport sucks. I hate the NBA but I don’t go on every post about it and leave a comment.
The NHL does not belong in the south, Atlanta, Nashville Florida, Pheonix do not deserve a team. Plenty of cities in Canada or northern US would love a team and sell it out. Gary Bettman is the worst commish of all the leagues(even worse than Bud). He has ruined the game and is to blame for most of the NHL problems.
and why does atlanta have a hockey team again? I think there should be a rule in the NFL, you have to get at least a foot of now a year to have a hockey team. pathetic.
NHL*
One of my good friends from Georgia claims to be a fan of all Atlanta sports. He knows the whole roster from the Braves, Falcons and Hawks, but until last night, he had no idea that there was an NHL team south of Washington DC
thats Atlanta for ya
