When you're used to watching hockey, soccer just looks like it's played in slow motion

I feel that way about most other major sports (at least in North America). I like that in hockey we can get several minutes worth of action at a time; I get so bored by football games because it’s like 7 seconds of play followed by setting everyone back up, or commercials, or flags everywhere.
hockey is the sport I have had the most fun watching, especially live.
at basketball games or football or whatever, it seemed like fans were creating excitement displays, but the one hockey game I went to felt like it had a much more organic energy lightning through everybody every time somebody did basically anything.
with most conventional team sports, I feel like the fans are sitting there until finally something interesting is happening, and then everybody leans in.
with hockey it's just like no matter what is happening everyone is losing their fucking mind every single second.
haha, really gives me good memories.
