Oh but things do happen. All that "nothing happening" is two sides jockying for position or advantage. It makes the goal that may or may not happen that much more exciting.
If you understand what is going on. How the teams play, and what they are trying to do to each other.
Hockey is hard on Americans too, though to a lesser extent, and you see alot of the same tactics at play, though at a faster pace.
I cannot wait until the men play, you guys can have your cup back then.
