deck hockey name kills me....such a hipster word created 25 or so years ago....it is street hockey, that's it. nothing more. Also played with a ball.

I first heard it in(late 1980s) 7th grade gym class. Teacher goes "We're going to play deck hockey this week". They gave us sticks which were made for 5 yr olds which were straight right down the middle & you had to bend it to curve right or left handed.

quotes no working - because somebody messed up the thread with a stupid GIF.

@ Tanner. You are right about player safety. There should easily be way more suspensions for dangerous plays. And when an NHL millionaire gets a $5000 fine it is ridiculous. That's like charging me a nickel for "assault causing bodily harm". A nickel means nothing to me the same way $5000 means nothing to a multi-millionaire.

The loser point... I can't stand hearing this argument. It is designed to keep teams in the playoff hunt for longer - or at least give the appearance to fans that their teams are in the playoff hunt longer. It works. I mean think about baseball there are teams who have zero chance at playoffs by the end of June. So they play 100+ completely irrelevant games. That's not good for business.

It would be weird to have 31 teams, but we already have a 16 team conference and a 14 team conference. If it makes business sense to add the inevitable two expansion teams in separate years I don't see why that is a problem. From a fans perspective - I want them to add both. TODAY!

Brennan is a slow player in the AHL.

Europe is probably a good place for him. Yotes need to spend their money a little more wisely than that.

Regarding Shea Weber....on what (frank)in planet is 20 goals 31 assists 51 points a dramatic drop off for a dman

Sometimes, no check that, most times, you numbers boys can't see the forest for the trees.

What was his zone starts?
Who was his defensive partner?
What was his quality of competition?

I just googled it as well. This image came up in the list and it's how I picture Tanner when someone disrespects the pet shop boys.

America is only stupid for calling "hockey" "ice hockey". Hockey is hockey. There are other types of hockey and they deserve to be called "field hockey" or "ball hockey" or "roller hockey" or whatever.

But hockey played on ice is HOCKEY! You don't have to label it "Ice Hockey". By definition, hockey is played on ice.

I have lived in the USA for 20 years now, and played for about 15 of those, and have never heard it referred to as "ice hockey" unless someone asked for clarification.
