Hockey talk in reply to Adrienne's question:

Let's go Caps!  Let's go Caps!

Their current AHL farm team, the Hershey Bears, is close to where I live, so we have partial-season (12 game because my hockey eats up too many weekends) season tickets to the Bears.  They play tonight, too, and like the Caps, if they lose tonight they are done.  So B-E-A-R-S Bears, Bears, Bears WOOOOOOOO!!!

Yanti - mental well-being can do a lot toward getting the physical well-being healed.  Glad to hear you are finding some of that with the zombie death march (love that saying!) and a little biking.  Do your best to keep it easy, as you know.  Sending you health and healing with a {melon press}! Enough is enough, germs, leave her alone!

Allen - I like how you took KansasMom's cream cheese bagel idea and thought to add smoked salmon - that sounds so yummy!  Maybe even add a little watercress...mmmmm....

Okay, totally off topic, but tI swear there is something weird going on here---There have been so many women getting pregnant at work!!! Now, I have never and still don't want children, so it kinda freaks me out....I just have to say wtf???? do they all have a pact right now?

That being said..

NO, I like my Phoenix Coyotes in Phoenix! They are one of my favorite teams....and Seattle Coyotes just doesn't have the same ring to it....its bad enough that I lost my Atlanta Thrashers to stupid Winnepeg...

'kay rant over...time for class.

cdban66 - 2012-04-25 6:44 PM That would be a lot of intervals!

ukweeble - 2012-04-26 3:13 AM

What is icing? (and who has to do the intervals now)

TriAya - 2012-04-25 8:20 PM

Uhhhhh ... I'm an island girl. I have nooooo idea what icing is. Nope, not me

ukweeble - 2012-04-26 3:21 AM

No training today. late from work and it's pouring with rain. Roads part flooded etc. No bike or swim. Hope the day is better where you are..

Happy feet 2 about to start so i am signing off for the evening and will catch up in the morning whilst you are all tucked up in bed.

Asalzwed - 2012-04-25 3:28 PM

Siiiighhhhh, Allen get on your trainer and start pedaling your azz off. Yanti, you are spared since you are sick and this would kill you. 

Annnnnnnnnnd go! (Wikipedia is helping me here because I'm not the best at explaining things)

Icing is an infraction in the sport of ice hockey. It occurs when a player shoots the puck across at least two red lines, the opposing team's goal line being the last, and the puck remains untouched.

Still pedaling? Good! Now: 

It is, however, not icing if the puck is shot from behind the halfway line into the goal, or when the shot must be played by the opposing team's goaltender to keep it out of the net. In the former case with a shot puck crossing the goal line completely, the goal is counted.^[1][2] 

Got all of that? Now as consequence: 

When icing occurs, a linesman stops play. Play is resumed with a faceoff in the defending zone of the team that committed the infraction.

Now pedal until you can wrap your head around this concept. Also, no icing during a penalty. Also, if the offense beats the defense to the puck, play is not disrupted.

Now for touch icing versus no touch icing. 

It sounds like NHL is considering going to no touch icing.  Thoughts?

Asalzwed - 2012-04-25 3:33 PM

I don't like it one bit. As a defender it is your responsibility to get your azz back there! 

jmkizer - 2012-04-25 2:35 PM

Agreed.

The talking heads have been saying blah blah blah Injuries blah blah

And, to prevent the defensive team from icing the puck when they are stuck in their own end for a long period and are tired and want to get off, a new rule was introduced.  If your team ices the puck, you cannot change your line.  Meaning the tired players still have to stay on the ice.

The easiest description of icing is when a team send the puck from their own side of center ice, down to the other end of the ice.

End interval.

 But i said 'Bagsy not me'!

ArielLIlB - 2012-04-25 3:04 PM

Hi everyone! I have been MIA for almost a week I think! And along with my lack of posts, I've been lacking in training! Really fell off this week, no really good reason why. Not sick, not too busy...just bleh.  Hand in hand with that, my healthy eating initiative has fallen off.  So, I really need to my mojo-vation (haha, I just made that up - I like it!)  Unfortuantely (well, it's fun but...) I am going away Friday for a girl's weekend in Ithaca, NY with my college girlfriends. It's our annual reunion, we do dinner, wine tour, Collegetown Bagels...the works. It's fun, but there will be no exercise, lots of food and even more drink! (although 2 friends had the nerve to get knocked up right before wine weekend! Honestly, better planning please!) So...my goal is to get up tomorrow morning and try out a new swim group, since my coached swim is over until late fall/until OW season begins.  Then either spin or a jaunt on the 'mill after work. Then packing, then my friend and her dog come over (sorry kitties!) so that we can hit the road early Friday morning for Ithaca. 

Oh, and as of this coming Sunday, t-minus TWO WEEKS til my first triathlon!! Terrible time to lose focus on the training, ahhhh!  (there's isn't a good "nervous" emoticon...)

Sounds like everyone else is doing great though! Nice work, especially to the racers!

cdban66 - 2012-04-25 3:01 PM Icing - found on the top of cupcakes or cake. YUMMY! /Rant On No touch icing is the hockey equivalent of the designated hitter in baseball. The game has been around for how long? And we have to change it now, why? And I am so done with the hockey talk (says the guy who lived in NY in 1994). For me hockey ceased to matter when I moved back to Florida. Because, really, hockey in Florida?!?! WTF! Wearing shorts to a hockey game is just wrong. /Rant Off Thanks, I feel better now. I'm going to ride the bike home today, I'll throw in the occasional interval.
