i love both. But no one plays harder then Hockey players. We have all seen a hockey player play thru an injury that that in any other sport they would be sent to the locker room for.Hockey players are tough motherfuckers.

I get it, and I was the same way for the longest time. But as long as Les Alexander owns the Rockets Houston isn't getting a team. Ultimately I love hockey too much to not have a team, and I'm not gonna be lame by picking some out of state team that I have no ties to just because they win a lot or have a cool logo. I further rationalized it by making an internal promise to myself that if/when Houston gets the NHL I'm dropping Dallas in a heartbeat

My understanding is that only a team owned or approved by Les can occupy the Toyota Center. He ran the Aeros off a few years ago because he didn't want to have to schedule around hockey anymore, and no one is going to build a hockey-only facility in Houston.

Yeah that's... not a realistic solution. Hockey outdoors is a novelty thing, not at all feasible to do for an entire season. Not to mention the damage a rink and refrigeration equipment would cause to the Dynamo playing surface. And we're not even talking about the Houston climate, which could maintain a playing surface for maybe all of three weeks a season.

Sharks take Game 1, 3-2 in OT

The Wild got plenty of offensive pressure on the Blues, but Jake Allen saved 51 of 52 Wild shots. Big for the Blues to take game 1 on the road, back at it tomorrow night.
