Truth. At least someone gets ****ed up within a half hour at most.

the stoppages introduce the element of strategy. It's a good mix really because the action is fast and brutal so you really need those pauses to even register what just happened in the last play.

Yeah but unless you understand the strategy it's meaningless. Continuous play at least allows the ignorant to enjoy continuous action.

I dunno I find watching people kicking a ball around endlessly to be mind numbingly boring myself. I mean yeah there's constant play but the score is still 0-0.

Hockey definitely better than soccer on TV but that's not saying much. The puck is too small to see and most of the game is a bunch of skating back and forth. Great highlights though like I said .. Unfortunately those moments are few and far between

At least they highlight the puck so you can see it.

More like since there's not much going on for so long it gives people watching time to talk about it. Same reason why American football is so popular.

I think there’s truth to that. Nothing wrong with it, either.
