Okay, so I'm growing pretty tired of the refs playing such a huge role in the NBA playoffs and will probably abandon the sport until changes are made or Stern is gone. As such, I've began to watch hockey. I've watched both games of the Blackhawks/Kings series and both games of the Bruins/Pens series. I never grew up watching hockey although a huge portion of my family lived and died by the Bruins in the football offseason. As a new hockey fan and someone that has just started watching, teach me the game. A few questions... 1. Besides highsticking and cross-checking, what are the common penalties? 2. What is an icing? 3. What are the positions and their roles? I think I know the defenseman is the enforcer type that isn't known for his offense, is this correct? What are the other positions? 4. After the Bruins won last night, the annoucners spouted off numbers like "winning 90-something to 80-something (paraphrased)". Granted I was about to go to sleep and maybe I heard something, but if I didn't, what did that mean? 5. How is Jaromir Jagr still playing at a high level? 6. Why is Crosby so soft?
