      In a 60 minute NHL game you get about 15 minutes of actual play or less. I’m sure they’re fit and all that, but if I go to watch a sport, I want to see plenty of the sport.

        NHL games have significantly more than 15 minutes of play.

        You’re thinking of NFL, but that’s also wrong.

          You’re right, I meant NFL and autocorrect got me, but my timing is correct. There is not significantly more. The longest reference I can find is 18 minutes. 15 mins or less in a 3 hour plus show is the norm. Ridiculous.

        same for soccer then, all that game is a bunch of passing the ball around and every 15 minutes maybe a shot on goal attempt

          Sure, if you describe it by making things up. A game of football is at least 90 minutes of play. The forwards and midfielders run two or three times as much as players in the NHL, or basketball for that matter. The last match I watched had 4 goals and 26 goal attempts in the 90 minutes. The average shots per team per game is between 8 and 15.

            You just don’t understand the game. It’s ok to like other things.

            The person you’re responding to doesn’t understand soccer so doesn’t see what you see.

            You don’t understand hockey (I say this because NHL was mentioned) or American football the same way so you don’t see the game that is played.

            American Football is a strategy game, like checkers or chess, where the players are the pieces. It’s turn based.

            Soccer is played asynchronously.
