So they forgot these things when Carolina was in the Finals in 2002? Get them back up to Hartford!

Thursday: pull the goalie

 

If a team is trailing in the final minute of the third period, it often removes its goalie to add another attacker. It leaves the net empty, but increases the chances of scoring. The Canes pulled Cam Ward on Monday and sent the game against the Devils into overtime.

 

Friday: traffic

 

When several players are in one area of the ice, a player often must maneuver through them, like when a car on a crowded highway must maneuver through traffic. Also refers to offensive players standing in front of the net to block the goalie's vision.

 

Saturday: the slot

 

Refers to the prime scoring area, between the face-off circles in the middle of the ice.

 

Sunday: saucer pass

 

Pass that flies just off the ice, over the stick of a defensive player. Gets its name from the way it spins off the stick like a Frisbee.

 

Today: kick save

 

When a goalie stops a shot on goal by extending his leg or using his skate to stop the puck.

 

Tuesday: slashing

 

Wednesday: the crease

 

I love how they only cover one topic (translation = one sentence) per day. As if it would be entirely too much work for the staff writer to define slashing AND the crease in the same day. No way the locals could remember all that in one sitting. :shocking:

I would think getting more people involved in a fledgling sport would be a good thing for the game. :shocking:

And this is bacon, like you might find on a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich.

Zamboni-big ice cleaning device...doesnt go as fast as ricky, ernie and dale earnhardt, but can turn left AND right..which your favorite nascar driver most likely can not do...

 

ice gals-these are the gals who you hoot and holler at, whistling and shouting cat calls to as they clean the snow off of the ice with their shovels..you do this until you realize that these underage gals are related to you..at which time you whistle even louder...

 

i think bryan murray could use this lil refresher and learn that it isnt a great idea to put a sissyass forward up at the point instead of a REAL d guy..it was only jason pominville, says the pompous coach...well, its only a hockeyless end of may again for you, you jerkoff...
