This is probably the best thing that has happened to hockey in years. The two-line pass rule just broke up the play unnecessarily.Ice_Addict wrote: The two-line pass is legal.
Suomi-Ruotsi, too exciting to watch?

No. Icing is called if you dump the puck out of your own end of the ice (i.e. behind your own blue line) all the way down to the other end of the ice across the extended goal line. A two-line pass (which has been gotten rid of) used to be passing to a teammate from your own end (behind your own blue line) across the center red line, i.e. across two lines (blue line plus center red line). With that rule abolished, longer passes down the ice are now OK.Richard wrote: I don't know too much bout ice hockey yet. Is the two-line pass the same as icing?

Is that the same as "paitsio"? ... ahh no thats "offside" - yeah I remeber hearing of "kahden viivan syöttö" "two-line pass"....
Finns use "paitsio" as offside in soccer, and also in american football for "encroachment"
Etymology of the word escapes me...

1 paitsi apart from

3 paitsi except
4 paitsi except for"
The etymology of paitsio comes from standard form of "paitsi", thus paitsio means kind of "someone is out of game line" or "in exceptional position", or something like that.
How that word developed, or was it in some use outside/before any games like soccer, I don't know. I'd guess it was invented some time in history, when "offside" was translated into Finnish.
