UNOFFICIAL NHL 26-27 Season Chat

[SurfnSully]

I very much enjoy watching Olympic hockey on TV and WHL in person, but I'm not a huge fan and it doesn't displace my fandom for other sports. However, now that we're in Pittsburgh, I'm going to try to get a little invested in the penguins. We're gonna try to get to a game or two this winter as well.

Enjoy and let us know about your experience in Pitt.

You will be blown away by the speed at which the NHL game is actually played - it does not come across on TV. Enjoy the game - go Pens.

And the sound - NHL is the best sounding sport IMO.

It is a new week. Let's go Sharks we need a regulation win!!!

Kraken are playing well and my Sharks still have not won in regulation

Pens win! We're assimilating as you can tell from the attire.

Some observations from our first NHL game:
1. We were in the top shelf but the view is still pretty awesome
2. Much easier to follow the puck in person than on TV
3. The puck-stick sound is so much louder than expected
4. There are more stoppages/breaks/ice shoveling than expected
5. It's chilly in there
6. Can't wait to go to another one
