Upper Deck Chevy will be proud of me. I hope he sees this. I saw the Capitals play the Flames. They won 3-2 and scored the game winner with 2 minutes to go. The game ended with the Capitals killing off a power play. Very exciting stuff. (It's still an "other" sport though.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> )
I think that the coolest professional sporting event I have seen has been an NHL game. It is so much different than it is on TV. You can hear the players yelling at each other and smacking their sticks on the ice to call for a pass.
Anyway, following the puck is something you get used to as you watch more games and learn the rules. Once you get used to the flow of the game, you can anticipate the passes and where the puck is going to be on the ice.
