Yeah, once you understand icing and offsides, you're pretty much good to go.
There are nuances to understand about the penalties, just like in football. I really understood the game once I started going to Kings games (thanks to my awesome STH next door neighbor who got us into hockey) because you can see the whole game happening. Line changes, formations, passing lanes, etc. |

If the other team is on a power play, you can clear it down the ice with no penalty. But if the teams are even strength, you can't. And you also can't substitute players when you ice the puck or you might be tempted to do it just to get fresh legs on the ice.

If that Callahan to Backes play would have connected, that would have been the goal of the Games thus far.

Canada still tied 1-1 halfway through the game. Latvia going on a PP, but every time I look Canada's around the goal.

I'm turning to CAN-LAT. How crazy would it be if Canada got knocked out by friggen Latvia.

Oshie forces a 4 on 4. He's awesome.

Obviously it increases our chances for gold if Canada loses today (which I doubt they will). But if we win gold, I want a win over Canada to be a part of that.

I almost think the Latvians' best chance is to survive till the shootout. I have trouble believing Canada will let them get another good rush for a goal.
