Woud you watch a seperate hockey robot league?

[Kamiccolo]

So picture this. It's the future. There are hockey bots. They are programmed for mass chaos and violence. Their primary purpose, to put the puck in the other teams net.

They are programmed to hack, slash, pretty well do anything to get the puck.

It is really like combining robot fighting and hockey. Shots will be huge and powerful, super fast skating.

I'd roll over in my grave.

 

[GreatjonUmber]

nope

 

[Starbuds]

Video games do the trick.

 

[VanIslander]

Hockey is too much about the fluidity of motion in skating that I doubt a robot could match.

Now robot football on the other hand... smashmouth running backs, offensive and defensive line clashes, goal line stands. Bring it.

Wasn't there a really weird CBC animated thing about this like 10 years ago

 

[Stad]

Um, what? lol

 

[Romang67]

Well, yeah, obviously. We can't have the hockey bots playing against humans. What would the world be like if we had batting robots playing Blurnsball?

Also, it's December! It's not even close to off season.

 

[Kellogs]

I would not like to live in a world where robots can play hockey.

Hockeyeurs cybernétiques

That could be interesting!

 

[Ceremony]

If technology exists to build robots that can play hockey at such a level then I presume technology exists to do much more enjoyable things.

 

[chupanibre]

maybe... I did really enjoy robot wars as a kid, are they going to have chainsaws and flamethrowers attached to them?

 

[Son Goku]

Ew no

 

[HockeyThoughts]

Did I miss a few months and it's randomly the offseason again?

 

[Ducks in a row]

No way in hell

 

[Jetabre]

Yes.

 

[DL44]

Definitely!
The way you've laid it out, it sounds awesome in the same way i used to watch Battlebots on a regular basis when it used to come on.

I mean why not?

 

[The Macho King]

Hell yeah.

Edit: Imagine the HF threads. Is C-89382 mk. III a better goal scorer than Lemieux? You put C-89382 mk. III in 1989 where he isn't trying to score on G-9000x2s every game and it would dominate the league. Yeah, but if it were in 1989 it also wouldn't have the benefit of the nano-technology that let's him play so well!

It'd be magical.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Robot hockey would actually be pretty ****ing awesome!

 

[Kelly]

Uh ya.

Violence sells, maybe add some sexy (real) cheerleaders and you have yourself a billion dollar association.

 

[gdsmack267]

This thread screams off-season thread. So bizarre

 

[RedHot]

Yeah that would be super cool.

 

[DL44]

So many racist technophobs that burst into this thread and couldn't 'no' fast enough.

 

[Hobble]

They should just bring back Battlebots.

 

[zombie kopitar]

If you change them from robots to avatar's and we have Lemiuex and Gretzky's brains preserved to serve as the hosts; then yeh
