Country: | i watched the Cz - Russia game, the fisrt time i've really watched a full match of ice hockey, one question just outta interest, are then any rules about what you or your oponents can do behind your own goal line? like behind the goal and backwards of that line?

Country: | no there are no special rules that i can recall . If you are thinking about the Russian guy getting a "red card" he leapt at the Czech guy and hit him from behind which are 2 infractions . You commented earlier about the lack of medals for the UK what you might try is getting the British Olympic Committee to lobby for new sports to be included some suggestions for these sports are Downhill Speed Skating or the Involuntary Luge | |

Country: | i wanted the swedes to win... they had the better kits 
and don't worry, we're gonna bias the London Olypics so heavily we're bound to get two or three medals with new sports such as queing, which team can form the straightest, most orderly que in the shortest space of time (kinda like a push start), and then sustain it for the longest, followed by tea making extreme.........

| well i was for the finns as well...
glad that Cz won the bronze, at least... they played the Swedes like pussies... what a shitty game...
and Katerina Neumannová won the Gold, but I probably wrote that before...
and I played hockey on sunday, damn good game, i made some good bodychecks - always feels great when you hit someone and stand it... i scored many many goals also...  | |
