Re: Iced Hockey...
How come the goalie doesn't have to wear a different coloured top, surely he's the only one allowed to handle the puck, he's got a big bloody glove to prove the point. I bet this is confusing for the other players

Re: Iced Hockey...
I just knew there'd be an incident that would push these games over the edge. Worst Olympics ever in my book.

Oh you're trying to dumb it down to the level of football. :sneaky: |
Re: Iced Hockey...
My god what a fabulous game between the US and the Swiss. Score is 0-0, the US is outshooting the swiss, but the swiss are playing SO WELL....and Hillier well, what can you say - he is fabulous....
The states with allegedly one second left scored a goal, but the goal was discounted because time had run out - really tough break for the US... |

She's away at the moment, playing in goal for the Canadian women's Olympic team - can't remember whether I mentioned that on here before or not? |
