I will preface by saying I don't know all hockey rules (baseball's another
story :-) However, during the USA vs. Canada game the other day Garth
Snow threw his stick at the puck and was called for, I believe, interference.
Team Canada was awarded a penalty shot. I'm not sure if Team USA lost a
player. It turned out to be a stupid move by Snow because he gave up the
penalty shot and Team USA had to settle for a tie.
