Quick, to the point, no filler explanation. Icing and offsides can be hard to catch while watching in person. Especially while drinking beers at the game. Thanks.
A better explanation for why offsides and icing exist - OFFSIDES - Without this rule, you could simply have one or more of your players camping out in the opponent's area and wait for a pass to then score. By requiring the puck to come in first, it gives the defense time to set up for a 'charge' of incoming offensive players. ICING - This rule prevents stalling, or 'turtling.' Let's say you score a goal and now it's 1-0 with your team in the lead. Without the icing rule, your team could simply obtain possession and launch the puck down the ice every time, requiring the opposing team to return to their side, retrieve it, then come in for another drive. While you fire the puck away, your team could get fresh bodies on the ice and just keep doing this strategy for the remainder of the game.
This was a fantastic explanation! Honestly, I think the video is really good for anyone just trying to understand hockey better. He explains very well. The in game example at the end using a video game for reference was honestly better than I would have expected! 10 out of 10, highly recommended โบ๏ธ
Indian dudes got tutorials for everything,
Honking the horn is the best part of ice hockey ๐. Good job dude ๐๐ป
I was watching other tutorials and none of them made sense, but this one ... I now feel like I have all the knowledge in the world about ice hockey!!! Thanks dude!
Thank you for this! Watching my first hockey game today, a Kraken preseason game
I was shook how well explained that was but what you called "just a penalty" is a penalty shot and it is when a player gets fall while being on a breakaway, wich means there were no players between him and the goal. Also, penalty killers are allowed to ice the puck, but that is not really important. Good job!
I liked how this guy was right to the point and explained everything very well without a lot of extra stuff added. As a new ice hockey fan, I appreciate how this video was short and to the point. The visuals and examples really helped alot. Thank you.
That was super informative, and the final part with the video game character was super cute
