A puck, 2 Nigerians and a Bajillion White People...
Call me bush, maybe untush, until now I had never been to an NHL (ice-hokey) game. I was at a Penguins vs. Islander game recently and it was fun. Though it started a bit slow not unlike a soccer match, the tempo quickly rose and before I knew what was going on I was thoroughly having fun. Mid-way into the match/bout/game (dunno what its officially called), the home team scored, the entire stadium was on its feet, I was a bit hesitant because I was uncertain about shouting GOALLLLLLLLL! only to be told there isn't such a thing as 'goal' in ice-hokey. Hm JJC. I enjoyed the mini-fights between players of opposing teams which played out through the entire game. Up till now I am still unsure about what part of the game produced the biggest adrenaline rush, the goals or the fights.
At the end of the game I was tempted to scream "3 Gbosa for the Islanders", but I didn't. The entire stadium would have looked at me in amazement as if a new race of humans had just been discovered. What did I take away from the entire game? It may be true that white men can't jump, black men can't skate either.
I have attached a video as evidence. I was in second row... BALLING!!! I dedicate that last bit of razzness to my NY people.

There is the term "goal" in hockey, though you would not shout it when a player scores. You might say, "He scored two goals in the game" or "He has five goals so far this season".
There are also "assists", which are given to up to two players that make the "passes" to the player that scores the goal. For example, when player 1 passes to player 2 who passes to player 3 who then scores a goal, then assists are given to players 1 and 2 for the goal scored by player 3).
Finally, there are "points", which are the sum of a player's goals and assists. So, for example, a player with 5 goals and 3 assists has 8 points. Players with the highest number of points are usually the league's stars and the highest paid!
thanks mate
