[QUOTE="Quickbeam, post: 215221, member: 635"] My usual rapid-fire remarks before I have to check outta here for the day: 1) I hope those two goals 13 seconds apart last night signal the beginning of the end for the unlfappable 'Canes confidence. I'd love those two slapshots to be the harbingers of Carolina doom :)!! 2) Bagpuss -- I post hockey comments here, and soccer comments in the World Cup thread. ESPN2 has shown all the games, and living near Canada I can also see them on CBC. Also, what stations do you watch for US television? Because I've had no problem getting Team USA or World Cup news in general. I'm not a big soccer fan, but I love the World Cup for the same reasons I love the Olympics -- people from everywhere swelling with joyful national pride and the truly global feel of the event. It's a beautiful thing. Europeans should accept that soccer will likely never be an overly popular sport in the States, but so what? I'd love to see this country go crazy at World Cup time like we do for the Super Bowl, but if it never happens I'm fine rooting with a handful of other interested observers. 3) I think hockey's biggest problem in gaining the same level of acceptance as football, basketball, etc, is simple: the cost of equipment and ice arena availability. Kids may be able to play street hockey pretty cheap, but finding open ice without getting up at 5:00am and keeping your kids in skates and gear is expensive. Since many people never play hockey, their interest level is lower than it might otherwise be. The converse of this theory is soccer which many kids in the US play, but lose interest in quickly because it's perceived as a children's game and has less immediate gratification in terms of scoring. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
