The best description, ever, of hockey.
Comes from Joel Stein, writing in the LA Times.
I've tried explaining the beauty of the sport to too many people, too many times. These are normal-size guys playing a contact sport while also ice skating, spinning beautiful ballet while beating the crap out of each other. Imagine how awesome "The Nutcracker" would be if they actually did what the title promised.Sadly he fails to note the real reason most Americans don't appreciate hockey. It has too much go and not enough stop. Could you ever imagine the NFL with shift changes on the fly?
