I heard americans are more into baseball or football than Hockey, is that true?
Canadians love Hockey. I am not a fan but during the play offs, I really want my team to win because the atmosphere in the city is just so nice during the play offs. I live in Montreal, the city goes crazy when the Canadians (the montreal team) makes it to the play offs. Almost all the cars have flags in their windows, people have sweaters... It may be the last game of the Canadians tonight, if they lose, they are out. I work downtown, and right now from the window of the building where I work, I can see a lot of people outside partying waiting for the tonight game.

Fresno had a hockey team for years. We used to go and watch the games...standing right behind one of the goals. Very exciting! But last year the owner of the team ran out of money and no one came forward with any money to help keep them, so they're no longer here.

I personally do not follow baseball, but I enjoy a good hockey game, especially in person. When my wife lived in Colorado, she lived in the same neighborhood as some of the Colorado Avalanche players. She is a big hockey fan. Although, playing baseball and football is a lot funner than watching them on t.v.

Yes, me too I love to watch a game in person. During the season it is very hard to have good tickets, My fiance and I already went to a game (Montreal-Boston) we had really good ticket and it was so much fun :D.
I dont play baseball or football but it must be very cool, I only know how to play catch, but I love it :D

Danny, I have to admit that the Bruins are very good this year. Unfortunatly, I think tonight is the last game for the Canadiens. Too bad because this year, it is their 100 years aniversary. They played very bad this year, I am still wondering how they made it to the playoffs!

Not true for me. I love Hockey. Going to a hockey game is much more entertaining then a baseball or football game IMO

I was sure they were going to win afer the first goal, it is always the same thing with the Canadien, as soon as the other team makes a goal they lose their confidence! I guess it means all the festivities in Montreal are over!

Isa, sorry about your Habs.

I happy the Flames came back to tie the series.

Go Flames GO
