can someone explain the "icing" rule in the olympics. am not getting this shiite.
Two lines, red line doesn't count. I believe it is just NHL rules since they are using the NHL sized ice.
No, Olympics has no-touch icing.
In the NHL, to get the icing call a player has to touch the puck.
In Olympics, as soon as it hits the boards icing is called.
