Just watched the Pitt Ottawa game tonight and I am completely hooked. This is my first time watching a full hockey game and would like to learn more about the game.
Does anyone recommend any resources to learn about the history/ins and outs/ strategy/ etc. ?
Also are there any must see historical games on YouTube? I'm definitely watching the rest of the playoff series
I absolutely love how fast paced and brutal this game can be. I get a little overwhelmed trying to analyze the strategy of the players though.

Watch live hockey and drink beer. Eventually you'll meet a friend who knows more about it than you do.
Anybody have any classic games they recommend I watch on YouTube before I go to sleep?

Thanks - I feel this sport would do really well with a shit ton of speed. I'll save the beer for football.

important question:
where do you live?

If you don't live in place with an NHL team, an AHL, ECHL, CHL, or any other semi-pro or minor team would work as well.

Fuck off, hockey doesn't need junkies for fans

The 2012 Pitt vs Flyers series was immensely entertaining for its physicality, hatred between teams, and complete lack of competent goaltending on both sides:

You get the idea.
Your just sexually attracted to Pierre, but your afraid to acknowledge this fact. If you admit it, you'll be much better off.

2014 stanley cup finals. All games
