Ryan Stone writes: "I believe that Intentional Offsides occurs when an attack player dumps the puck into his offensive zone when 1 or more players are deeper into the zone than the top of the face-off circles." now, i don't have a napoleanically strategic mind, so maybe i just can't see it, but what would a player have to gain by deliberately dumping the puck for an offsides? Is it just to get a stoppage of play, or something? please clue me in here. ross ps. congrats to the ff teams! i am lookin' forward to a terrific game this saturday! BTW, i saw an ESPN "sports news" broadcast sunday (while waiting for Ren and Stimpy to come on :) and they didn't as much as flash a quick score on the screen while i watched. do they even care about drumming up an audience for the final game or not? they even wasted five minutes with some meaningless "b-ball players picking the Oscars" [log in to unmask] What do i care if some pituitary mutant freak liked "the silence of the lambs" or not? ;) pps. does all the bickering we do amongst ourselves regarding the nc00's treatment of hockey really have any point? have we any power as fans?
