Hockey

The Flyers have put together back to back wins for the first time this season. Has the team finally turned the corner? I say yes and it happened way before they traveled out west.

Hockey north of the US Canadian border seems to carry more sway than any political, national or international moment.

If you know nothing about hockey (beyond, of course, the bit about the Canadians punching each other), here are some basic rules and things to watch for: Each team is allowed 6 players, including the goaltender. The game is played in three twenty-minute periods, and the object is to put the puck in your opponent’s net as many times as possible. That pretty much sums up the gist of the game.
