SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 1) People who know squat about hockey so they basically only comment on other posters' comments and who feel obliged to keep us all in line with their "perspective". Nice job anti-homer police! Let's see... Hockey is normally played on ice, but can sometimes be played on inline surfaces. Penalties result from such things as hooking, tripping, interference, cross checking, and high sticking that usually are two minutes. Sometimes, a high sticking penalty can result in a 4-minute penalty if you cut somebody. Icing occurs when a team shoots the puck from beind the center ice line and the opposing team (not including the goaltender) cannot realistically play the puck before it crosses the goal line not in the goal area, resulting in a face-off at one of the two faceoff circles in the other end of ice. Goals can be scored on a power play when you have more players on the ice than the opposing team, on a penalty kill which is essentially the opposite of a power play, or at even strength when you have the same amount of players on the ice as the opposing team. Even strength goals can occur when teams each have 5 players on the ice, 4 players, or 3. Guess I don't know anything about hockey then..........try again sunshine.
