Hey Woolly Bear, Yes that was a fantastic series. I'm already psyched up for tonights game with New Jersey. The blue & red lines are like different zones. The red line is center ice. The blue lines identify the offensive/defensive zones. There are rules around these lines/zones to make hockey work as intended...... Here are a few that might help you understand the strategies employed by the teams..... Inside the blue lines - on offense - the puck must cross the line with your team in control - a player can't cross the blue line ahead of the puck - or he is considered off sides...... if the puck is knocked out of the blue line, the offensive team must all leave the zone before the puck can be brought in again. The defensive team does not have to leave. You can't pass the puck & have it cross two lines without being touched by a teammate - that's called a two line off side pass...... Pass it across all three lines & it's called icing. This is all done to prevent cherry picking offensively & defensively to prevent teams from 'icing' a puck (dump it out of your zone to the other end) when being pressured in their defensive zone. FWIW, icing a puck is legal when the other team is on a power play. That's just a sample of the red line blue line stuff and some of the rules surrounding them. IMVHO, hockey is the most physically demanding sport that requires extremely skilled athletes to play the game. To really appreciate the game, one should attend a live game & sit fairly close to the ice to appreciate how fast these folks are really moving & the skills needed to control, pass & shoot a puck while skating at tops speeds while simultaneously being physically assaulted. BWDIK? Perhaps we could try to get some tickets to this series if you are interested? They won't be cheap, but you will get to see two of the greatest players in hockey attempting to win the Stanley Cup. GO PENS! Ö¿Ö
