It shouldn't even be called Field hockey, nothing about it resembles hockey. Its more cricket than Hockey.

Las Vegas Axolotls.

You're welcome.

I forgot how shit August was with respect to hockey. Literally fuck all going on and you have to just grin and bear it to get ready for the season to begin. I went back to the old thread to read the day that Subban and Hall got traded and Stamkos signed in Tampa. Those were fun times.

These summer months are brutal for me for sports since I don't care too much for baseball

Field hockey is lame compared to hockey, and so is handball compared to soccer.

I have to agree. Handball especially, I can't watch it for more than a couple of minutes.

 

[megachao24]

RedHawks would've been the dumbest thing ever, what with both Red AND Hawks already being in use.

Use something original.

Aces/Jacks/Sinners/Strippers/Canyoneers/CokeAndHookers

Well, there do exist teams that go by the Reds and Red Sox, as well as Blues and Blue Jackets, so using a color in a name doesn't sound like a too big deal. Using hawk though just sounded dumb.

 

[zroid]

I don't think I've ever watched handball before.

Field hockey is like shitty lacrosse. Why isn't lacrosse an Olympic sport?

 

[ElephantShell]

Las Vegas Kessels.

Trade their first 3 first round picks for Phil and sign Amanda as the first ever female NHLer.

What is 'hockey' in its purest form to you? When boiled down to its essential parts?

 

[jello44]

Handball is fucking baller.

This was the jersey design they had in mind.

the movie Slap Shot

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Our Field Hockey team is terrible and Field Hockey is less exciting than Ice Hockey.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

USA losing in soccer makes me happy.

 

[Foggy]

They can be the Bluehawks, we don't mind

 

[shadowkat]

Whoa. Sweden just knocked out the US.

Handball is apparently so bad that CBC won't even let you watch the games on their website.

me too.

I am a pretty bad american but whatever lol

I don't know anything about cricket, but it looked like soccer with sticks, except take all of the fun out of it.

Because lacrosse is fuckin stupid?

This was the jersey design they had in mind.

Damn that first one is super original.

 

[Cake Boss]

That's a better comparison, it's just the form of shooting the ball reminds me of cricket.

Soccer with small sticks is what it should be called.

 

[Yawnier]

the movie Slap Shot

Slap Shot is good old time hockey, just like Eddie Shore and Toe Blake would have wanted

This USA-Canada women's basketball game is confusing to watch, it looks like they switched colors lol.

Longer sticks for one and a flat puck, and maybe some physicality.

Lol I usually support the US men's team, but I'm still a little salty about 2012 so yea. Their women's team can fuck right off.

 

[Line_HTX]

Handball and Water Polo are pretty intense. Those two are entertaining to watch.

I hate that field hockey has 15 minute quarters though.

I heard that NBC had a nipple slip in the women's Water Polo during underwater replays of what caused the Power Plays.

 

[Socreges]

Soccer with small sticks is what it should be called.

Which is basically what the original hockey was. Ice hockey, our hockey, is the biggest deviation from original hockey. Also the only good thing to come out of hockey ever.

Wasn't it called Ice Rugby at first?

 

[alexthekid]

Woho It felt good that Sweden came out with a win after that offside call.

Im waiting for the true sport hockey but fotball and short sticks to get included in the olympics.

What are they wearing blue or something? I'm watching the trampoline right now.

 

[Smiley90]

Floorball > Field Hockey

 

[Marvie_3]

Heat index is only 105 today so I only feel slightly like dying every time I step outside.

 

[alexthekid]

Floorball > Field Hockey

Fun to play but otherwise boooring.

why is A-rod retiring with like 50 games left in the season?

 

[shadowkat]

Another lady is getting a medal! Not sure what it will be yet.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

why is A-rod retiring with like 50 games left in the season?

He doesn't have it anymore.

 

[Line_HTX]

why is A-rod retiring with like 50 games left in the season?

Because the Yankees are pushing him out. He got Subban'ed into retirement.

 

[iLLmAtlc]

I don't believe he ever said he was gonna retire, just that he's done with the Yankees. So most likely NYY got sick of dealing with the circus about his playing time so they're sending him home.

gets the $20M next year for not playing, livin the dream right there.

 

[shadowkat]

GOLD!!

 

[zroid]

Lmao Messi fucking trolled everyone
