I've never been into ice hockey or even hockey for that matter but I don't mind watching England's women hockey.

I find hockey to be the most appropriate non-motorized sport for a gearhead. It's about the fastest team sport out there, but it has to be extremely precise. Like a race, everyone remembers the physical fights, but there's so much more to it than that. It's basically the F1 of the team sports world.

She's got gorgeous eyes indeed. Let me respond with some Norwegian Speed skaters, x-country skiers and snowboarders.

Hmm.. Well, I'd actually claim that Aussie rules Football is the F1 of the team sports world, but hockey is close.

Maybe Aussie Rules is the Touring Car Racing of the team sports world, but hockey is just so fast . I can't watch soccer or basketball. I can't watch American football unless I'm with friends. And forget about baseball. Hockey ruined me for all of them. They're just too slow.

Holy fuck.. the two first = same girl? What the FUCK did she do to herself to look like that in the second picture? I see the similarities in the cheek bones and the nose, and the eyes as well though.. but DAMN.. she looks GREAT in that first picture, the second one.. not so much. sorry.

One thing I prefer about Hockey in the states in Canada is the lack of ads on the sweaters. Just looks so much cleaner.

I haven't heard that, but that's stupid. I know the American league has patches on the sweaters and stickers on the helmets. They've also got a few more ads on the ice but not overwhelmingly so.

Won't deny that, but.. without ads there would be no Hockey in Norway.. No Money no Hockey..

We do have Canadian players here though :)

I put up with it for the fact that they have hockey. No hockey = not a happy me. How is the Norwegian league? Not many Norwegians in the NHL here as you know.

Also my spelling is awful today...

We've got a few players that are really good actually. Not sure if they are Zuuuuuuke Good.. but hey :P I'd say we have a team or two that could be as good/bad as Colorado Avalanche or so.

No I agree. She looks natural and warm in the first, the second is all 'dollied' up and ruined. Women hey.

If you're Colorado "good" you're still better than 7 NHL teams! Also Zuke got 4 more years in NY.

Yeah.. Rumours has it that he turned down a better offer as well, he's a Ranger man it seems.. I'm a Wilds man, so.. yeah :P Not that Wilds could ever get Zuke :P

I must've, that or I've been drunk..

Anywho.. I must admit that I chose the Wilds due to the thingy about they being from a place with many Scandis, AND they've got a gorgeous set of colours :)

Well they've been quite late/early in the night/morning for you so that may be why.

My grandparents are from Minnesota so that's partly why, well that and 8 year old me loved the logo and colors.
