Okay, when I got home this evening I watched my trusty tape of
the US-Germany game.  Icing required no "touch-up" by the "receiving
team."  As I recall, an earlier posting said that Olympic icing was like
NHL icing, which (of course) requires a touch-up.
 
	Thank goodness that TNT is broadcasting entire games.  I find
few things more irritating than the old "..now let's go to hockey ...
Yakushev carries it in, to Shadrin, back to Yakushev, the shot --he
scores !!" method of non-coverage.

P.S.  Having been to most of the ECAC arenas, I would have to say that
Gutterson at Vermont appears to be a stupendous place to play.  Its
ice surface is wider than most, and skating teams tend to shine there.
Houston at RPI is more "pro arena-like" than any of the others, if only
because of its size.  The isle halfway up the stands, however, tends to
distance a lot of the fans from the action.  Bright Center at Harvard,
as Herb Brooks said after the '80 team christened the arena against
Harvard in November of '79, is "aptly named" (sometimes I feel like
wearing sunglasses there).  Thompson Arena at Dartmouth is like a big
empty box that used to have something exciting going on inside it.
The Yale Whale is a mite disorienting but has excellent sight-lines.
Hobey Baker Rink at Princeton is quaint and has a truly Princetonian
gothic exterior; its understatedness is manifest in its "rinky-dink"
smallness.  But Lynah ..... ah, it's the Boston Garden of college hockey.
The stands are steep; you're sitting on top of the play.  The banners
are intimidating, too.
