go watch some videos of pavel datsyuk stick handling. its incredible. mike babcock has said it looks like he has the puck on a string. i love when hes behind the enemies net and flips it over. on the other side of the coin i have never saw anyone lay people out like niklas kronwall. not to mention he hits people whilst skating backwards. check out his top 10 hits. that shit cray. coupled with all the other amazing stars across the league hockey is so close to football for me. in fact it has passed baseball and nearly basketball as far as most watched sports go. but it seems every time it does so or gets close to it theres another lockout. strange... and as far as baseball and basketball goes i think that shit is boring as hell. i would rather watch nascar. im talking about watching it on tv only. not live events or anything. so check out those guys if you wish. if you judge a sport without ever seeing it thats pretty close minded. please dont reply if you fall into that category. i hope i turned one of you into a fan in some regard. if so i have done my job. go see a local team play its a good time. also check out sidney crosby getting concussed and the hit goalie ryan miller of the sabres took if you do nothing else. ps i hate the penguins. pps and the blackhawks. ppps kings too.
