Icon48 How many non-Flames games do you watch?!

Random CP poll.

Do you;
a) Only watch the Flames
b) Watch the Flames and other action when you get a chance?
c) Watch as much hockey as you possibly can?

I am kinda between b and c. It feels like to much.

Flames and Canada and the Cup finals if the matchup is interesting. Some juniors but very very rarely watch other NHL games.

I used to watch any game that was on, often start to finish. A wife, three kids and many years later I watch only Flames start to finish and I catch moments of other games.

Regular season it's probably 70% of the flames and maybe the occasional bug rivalry game but that's 2-3 a year. Playoffs its flames 100% and a few others. I watched every game on day 1 and since then only Calgary

I watch just about every flames game. During the regular season, I often have OOT games on in thr background. During playoffs I watch every game that I can.

Huge Caps fan so I watch as much as them as I possibly can. Brother is a Wings fan so I will occasionally watch a few games here and there with him as well. Other then the Flames not much else.

In the playoffs, if there's a game on, I'll have it on the TV. Even if it's just background noise

Not so much in the regular season though

95% Flames. If nothing is on I might watch another game or I'll watch the Oilers to enjoy seeing them lose.

Mostly just the Flames.

I don't mind watching other games, and will normally watch the finals. But, I don't generally throw on another NHL game just because it's on.

I will throw on random ball games, but mostly because I love seeing the architecture, the views, and the quocks of the different ballparks.

Hockey is too cookie cutter to half watch a game.

That said, it was cool seeing Dallas' 3 power rings. The Stars entrance through the star, etc.

Almost none other than Flames games anymore. When I was younger I would watch any game…now kids, work etc make it hard and honestly I’m just not as passionate about hockey as I was when I was younger. Still passionate enough to stay up in the EST on a weekday to watch the Flames though.

Hockey isn't quite as awesome as it used to be. Between the league-wide crappy, unpredictable reffing and the over-the-top obnoxious play calling... coupled with media coverage that really only cares about a few select teams/markets... it's painful enough just following one team. I don't know why anyone would subject themselves to more than that.

I haven’t watched a full NHL game in years. Catch the highlights and scoreboard watch a lot though. Too much commitment for very little payoff
