because she sure isn't there because of her beauty.
I support the two most frustrating teams in America: The New Orleans Saints and the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Hockey is definitely the toughest sport to play. It combines the eye hand coordination required to hit a baseball with the speed and strength required for
football.
I don't really like hockey, but I have respect for the sport, because it's extremely difficult, and the best hockey players are amazing athletes. |

you cannot compare the ability to hit a hockey puch with the ability to hit a baseball. The puck is not moving 90 MPH and it tends to be moving the same way as
you are swinging giving you multiple chances. Granted there are times when someone gets a glance of a one timer but that is not the same as squarring a 90MPH
fastball. Not saying it is not difficult but you cannot compare the two. You have .08 seconds from the time the ball leaves the pitchers hand to decide whether
to swing or not.

You also don't have people trying to take your head off when you're standing in the batter's box. You're standing still. Not saying it's
easy to hit a baseball, but you haven't watched much hockey if you think it doesn't take some serious eye hand coordination to play at the professional
level.

I never had much problems hitting 90 mph fastballs.
I have said this way before Linda Cohen did. Hockey takes the largest skill set of any sport. It requires more of the basic skills involved in athletics. Balance, speed, endurance, coordination and awareness of self, hitting objects with a stick. Then you have other players physically interfering with you as you try to do those things. I was pretty good at hockey, but not when it came to all that skating. |

And more than just the goalie is getting in the way...offensive players will purposefully try a 'deflection' where they use the shaft of their stick to change the trajectory of the puck in order to get it past the goalie. And there there's the goalies who get in front of it on purpose. Yeah yeah, I know what you're saying...'but they've got all those pads and masks.' Well yes, goalies do, but NHL defensive players don't have all those pads, and they will often lie down in front of a player about to take a slapshot (remember that 90+mph we're talkin about?) to take away the lower alley. I've never seen a baseball player try to stand in front of the plate to block a hit with his body...have you? |

There's a reason Hockey is the only sport where THE ENTIRE TEAM (sans goalie) must be rotated every 1-2 minutes to allow them to make it through the
period. That shit is tough, no doubt.

Not really.
The only hockey I've ever watched was the Jackson Bandits, may they rest in peace. 
Your favorite sports team scores a game tying point, you find a dollar in the street, you see someone you hate get their ass kicked in public, all of these blissful moments deserve, nay, demand the most communal of public displays of pleasure: The Landshark. |

I thought this statement was bullshit
The puck is moving 90+ mph quite often in hockey. It's called a slapshot. So I decided to look it up and sure enough... At the yearly NHL all-star "hardest shot" skill competition, the winning slapshot typically propels the puck at around 100 miles per hour (160 kilometres per hour). Zdeno Chara holds the record during an NHL All-Star skills competition at 105.4 mph using a carbon fiber stickThat's incredible. |

Can you hit a Curve ball? What about a change up or slurve, knuckle ball, or slider? The puck may be going in a straight line at 90+ but a baseball has
movement. It's much different to see a 90+ fastball and then a 74 mph curve when the bottom falls out three feet before it gets to your head and falls in
for a strike.
