So I have a buddy who's expressed interest in watching a hockey game if I'd explain a few things for him. He's a fan of a few other sports, mostly football, and has told me he has trouble identifying set plays and specific effort vs. "heck let's just see what happens off of this tip-in to the random corner".
So for explaining hockey this was a great game and he had a good time and properly hated the Bruins with me and laughed when I yelled "hit him!" when Marchand was near the puck. That's the good news.
The bad news is that I was able to show him missed assignments, bad puck luck, stupid penalties, insufficient energy against a top-shelf team, and other things.
I'm not saying I have a convert, but he liked learning to see some of the things I was able to point at.
