A baseball fan's perspective on a Washington Capitals game

Last night I watched a hockey game instead of the World Series (though I followed along with both until the Royals went up big). I have no experience watching hockey, but I think I was successful.

When I was growing up, baseball was the only sport in Baltimore. It's the sport I know best and the sport I'll always love most. But my interest in the NFL has faded to almost nothing, so it seems time to give another winter sport a try. Will it be hockey or basketball? Or neither?

I know the basic rules of hockey.
