A) it's a period not a quarter
B) take them out of goal to give them an extra man. easier to pass the puck and get an open hole in the goalie.
So I was watching the Tampa Bay / Rangers game 7 and noticed in the 3rd quarter with just a few minutes left they pulled the Rangers goalie Lindquist from defending the goal and Tampa had free shots at the goal while it was being unguarded.....can someone tell me why that happned and what that means....
It was an awesome game. Lots of action....yes I'm black guys..I just happen to water raft and watch Hockey...the only reason I watch hockey is because its the only sport I can watch white boys try to kill each other while mainstresm America cheer them on

Ohh ok...I thought Lindquist just quit on his team because he got too cold on the ice...or just said it...we're going to lose...I just started watching and had never really seen that before
Also why dont they play 4 quarters like most sports...I was looking forward to the 4th quarter / period and was dissapointed with only 3....what is that all about
They used to do two halves way back in the sport's infancy, but that led to the ice getting ruts in it and covered with too much snow, which would slow the games to a crawl. Around 1910 or so, they switched to the current system to give players more rest (since there's two 18-minute intermissions instead of a 12-minute halftime) and the arena staff more time to clean up the ice during games. They've never really had a reason to change it since then.
cool,
Cool sport, but the "hockey is my life" "hockey>your sport" got fans are gas chamber worthy.
