Ice hockey

I've been watching quite a few games recently, apparently it's a big thing here in Finland

Anyhoo, the world championships are on so it's taking over the TV here - damn I'm missing the Bold and the beautiful because of this

The rules make no sense to me at all. You can bash people into the perspex sideline, and that's ok, but if you bash them anywhere else you get sent off for 2 mins. The Finnish goalie is injured but no one knows why, the ref blows his whistle anytime he likes and the game starts off with a bully-type play off. It also seems it's really bad if you don't score when you have a 1 man advantage. These seem to be the only rules of this game. oh yeah, you can't really touch the keeper - that's a foul too.

The fights are great tho they just erupt from nowhere
