For clarity I just mean watching hockey. As far as American sports go hockey is so much more appealing than football or baseball. It has all the suspense of baseball, the speed of basketball, and the physicality of football plus everyone's skating. Plus they're not constantly taking penalty shots and pretending to get hurt like in basketball. Also strangely enough illegal hockey streams are the only ones I've seen where no one is saying racist/homophobic/transphobic/other reactionary shit.
I've never played hockey in my life, I'm just talking about watching it. I'm also blessed to have grown up in a place where you don't need to pay for ice time because the pond will freeze in the winter so all you need is a stick and maybe a helmet. This goes onto my view that cities where it can't snow should not be allowed to have hockey teams because then it's entirely exclusive to the rich. Also why tf is Tampa Bay one of the best teams seriously wtf
