Hocky: frolunda hc vs erc ingolstadt

Noteworthy things:

a lot a lot of classic rock in the background?

occasionally, the live feed of hockey drama is a big empty court and someone cleaning it up. I find that a bit hilarious.

Rude reporter randomly asking someone why they lost this game. He was surprised too.

So far no boys making out, or maybe there were, haven't been paying close attention.

Fo your convenience, added a new tag to unfollow if you want.

You're welcome! Let me know if you have any more questions! I do enjoy getting to share my knowledge!

Yay!
Then, would you explain the subcategories you mentioned in the positions. please?

Sure! Both forwards and defense are further assigned the general area they'll play in. For a defense pairing there is a left d and a right d. For a forward line, there is a right wing, a center, and a left wing. These can be changed, sometimes, with varying success depending on the players and coach. It's usually not the best situation, but it's not that uncommon. A player will be called a 'natural' at whatever position he's used to playing. Example, 'he's a natural center, but he's playing right wing tonight to fill in for someone that got hurt'.

On the other hand, it's extremely rare a player would be switched between defense and forward, because the differences between those positions is too great. Defense is generally considered a bit harder to play, involves more thinking and skating backward. Forwards are more flashy and get more attention as they're usually the ones scoring the goals, though.

I'm trying to think what else would be most helpful to know....there is a lot and it can get overwhelming, lol. But it can be fun even if you don't understand it all. I think it was more than a season before I knew what a hat trick is. I kept expecting it to be something really complicated. But it's the same person scoring three goals in one game. Which is a lot harder to do than it sounds. And fans throw hats on the ice when it happens, to celebrate. It can also be used to refer to something else that comes in threes, such as 'he got a hat trick on and off the ice that night' probably means he scored the three goals and had sex with three people afterward, lol.
