Love the MLB post season. A very interesting game once you get into it. Go Jays.
Have tried to get into ice hockey but I can never see the puck. Surely it isn’t just me?

It isn't just you. It's every first timer!
Actually, since the cameras usually show action from 'one side' I don't think there's been a televised game where anyone has seen the puck at all times...ever! Because when hit around the boards, the cameras can't see the puck through wood (obv).
You get used to seeing it eventually, and you get good at watching the players as they show where the puck is.
that's still better than years ago when one tv network gave the puck a purple glowing tail (like a comet, I guess) so the americans could see it better. It was atrocious.
Anyway, everyone doesn't have to like every sport. I still don't have a fav nfl team, nor can I get into soccer/football enough past the world dive, I mean the world cup.

Yeah fair point, as I'm far from a conissuer of the NHL (GE will probably say I've absolutely no frikkin' idea as I like the Oilers) but I believe his point about watching the players does help with what's where and it just flows from there.
*those glowing purple tails, now that's "interesting"!

Rupert Murdoch, there's your trouble. Bloody Aussies sticking their noses in.
canucks win in a shootout (woot)
blue jays lose (boo) seattle lead 3-2 in best of 7 (uh oh)
BC lions are about to win against Edmonton in the cfl, and lock up 2nd place in their division. (yay)
