A power play the resulting man advantage when a player commits a rule infraction. Penalties are handed out in 2,4,5 and 10 minute increments (although 10 minute infractions do not result in a power play)
Goalies leave the ice for a number of reasons. The most common are: 1) Late in a game when their team is losing by a close margin, goalies will get pulled for an extra attacker. The result is a man advantage which increase the teams chances of scoring, while increasing their chances of being scored on. 2) A penalty is being called on the opposing team. This is not dangerous because as soon as the opposing team touches the puck the play stops and the player is sent to the "sin bin" I *used* to be a goalie :D - I usually left the ice because I couldn't stop a watermelon :) HTH, Duane -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 3:55 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Jedi Knight query + Random Hockey question Yes, today is my day for game questions... Jedi Knight 2 question - SPOILER ALERT... . . . . I'm in the city where I need to hunt down the crime lord. I'm in the room where, directly in front of me, is a small pond of water that is electrocuted. How do I get upstairs? Hockey question - I noticed this during the olympics but never got around to asking... a) What is a 'power play'? Why does one team get it and why it is time-limited? b) Why does the goalee leave the ice some times? Isn't that dangerous? ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
