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. Dave Delchamps Cornell University Let's Go Red !! 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.
