Hockey somehow manages to be both disgustingly violent and BORING at the same. Nothing lost. Watch the wolf pack. Can barely tell the difference anyway between ahl and nhl. Same boring low scoring crap. The only entertaining thing in hockey is the all star game.

I'm no hockey fan either, but what do our personal preferences have to do with the validity of having an NHL team in CT?

I was thinking that New Haven could be a good spot to house a pro team if Hartford doesn't want them. Superior train access, and lots of underutilized industrial land in the Fair Haven/Mill River area to build a stadium/arena/sports complex. Do it right this time instead of another Coliseum. Webster Bank Arena seems to be doing decently too, could that house an NHL team or too small?

Webster is far too small. Cute, minor league arena..nothing more than that.

Gee...thanks for your opinion. We can all sleep easier now that you have decided hockey is not for Connecticut. I am willing to bet you haven't watched a hockey game in 10 years as its always the same guys who complain about hockeys "violence"... the ones who never watch the game.

If you read that article its about how he has changed his tune from saying the NHL won't happen in Connecticut to actively talking with people interested in bringing teams to the state. That is the exact opposite of what implied the article was about.

Yeah...you know like Mike Bossy ect. He never played or anything. The game is very violent. It markets that. Don Cherry said it best, when there's a fight, everyone is standing. And the fights aren't even the worse. Every single year there are multiple cheap shots and suspensions. The only sport I know of where they swing hockey sticks like a baseball bat at another player's head.(Yes I know suspensions are handed out, but it's happened repeatedly. Not just the Mcsorely incident). There's a culture of violence for entertainment purposes that is part of the culture of the game. It's an "emotional" game. That's how they excuse it. Please. It's for selling the game. Oh and THN editor's/writers who complain about the violence, do they never watch a game?

It's not that hard to up the offense. Just make the nets bigger. Goalies have become way too good thanks to roy and the butterfly. Don't assume just because someone gives a negative opinion about something that they know nothing about the game.

I forgot Football is so much less violent when the nature of the game is to slam yourself into people and tackle them...right hockey is the violent sport.
