Hi it's Amanda Myers! I watched the Caps(yay!) and the Penguins(eww!) play in the Winter Classic. I noticed that if a player had the puck, he kept on moving it back and forth with its stick. Ovie had trouble getting to the puck. Crosby kept getting knocked over.When the goalie would block, he would get down on its knees. Hockey has off sides, like soccer. Everyone played pretty well, well, I think so since we won:)
I watched the Caps against Tampa Bay play today in a playoff. I noticed that the goalie always keeps his knees bent to prevent the opposite team from scoring. Also to prevent an opponent from stealing the puck, the player usually moves the hockey stick back and forth to move the puck away from their opponent's direction. Each team memeber cooperates with each other to pass the puck to score a goal.
Officials skate alongside the players but don't actually interfere with them. Goalies tend to keep low and cover as much of the goal as possible. There is offsides like soccer. Players move the puck all around them to keep opponents from getting to the puck. There are delayed penalties that result in a certain amount in the penalty box, rather than getting ejected from the game like many other sports.

I watched the game between the Penguins and the Flyers on Hulu, and noticed a few different things about how the players managed their hockey stick. When they were playing the defensive, the players rested their sticks on the ice and stood with an open position, and when they were pursuing the puck, they tended to sprint forwards with their body leaning forwards and the stick extended in front of them. Players, when on the offensive and going into the opponent's territory, would knock the puck back and forth, however when they were in clear possession of the ball in their own territory, would just slide the puck. It was also obvious that the referees did not care whether or not the players were bashing each other around, so clearly that's OK, but neither were the players offended. Several times, a player got smashed against a wall, sandwiched between two players. Also, the players are allowed to touch the puck with their hands. At 2:30 in the video (http://www.hulu.com/watch/201960/nhl-games-penguins-vs-flyers#s-p1-so-i1), a player reaches up and stops a flying puck with his hands. Also, players seemed to carry their sticks with the head up when they were not actively involved in the game; no high sticking was called for these.
I learned movement and stick management techniques, many leniencies in the rules, and ways to move the puck in different situations.

I watch the Caps and Penguins at the winter classic. One thing i noticed was that both teams possessed the ball before attacking the goal. Thier passes were firm and controllable at their team mates stick. The goalies would keep their knees bent, so it was easier for them to move. The shooters, would use slapshots when they had space and time, but wrist shots when they had a defender pressuring them. Lastly, the teams were not afraid to pass back. They passed the puck back before up to ensure possesion.

I saw the game between Carolina and New York. I noticed many different things about the game. One thing was that they pushed each other in order for them to retrieve the puck. Another thing was that the goalie stopped a puck with his hand, and i never new you could do that. In conclusion, my reaction to the game was intense.
David Bednov.
I watched the Blackhawks v. the Kings. I saw that teamwork is everything, and that the team must stay together to get a point. The goalie must keep his eye on the puck and never let it get out of his sight, because he must block it from the goal. I learned that if one team was more aggressive, it would have more of a chance to win. whenever someone makes a goal, everyone raises their sticks into the air.Also the closer the goalie is to the goal, the better.

i noticed that the goalie would always keep his knees bent and stay low to block the shots and uses mostly his knees to do so. There is offsides, just like soccer. Everybody cooperated and passed the puck a lot. I enjoyed watching the game.

I watched the Caps play they played well they moved the puck a lot they had great skills but not better than mine the and i noticed a lot of tackling and trucking being done and good passes and team work
Kristina Li
I noticed that the goalie was bent down towards his knees, ready for any ball, even if the puck wasn't near. Also I noticed that a lot of players could fall very easily. Many players would be thrust towards the wall and get crushed. Also, the teams used a lot of teamwork. Lastly the players passed the puck to eachother simlarily to football, soccer, basketball...etc.
faith kabundji I dont watch sports
1.I liked when they fell,they played good. I liked their jerseys,
I liked their team work,that was a good game
I watched the Winter Classic, Penguins verse the Capitols. The game started with a cerimonial puck drop. The first goal in the game was made by Malkin on the Penguins, giving them a one nothing lead. Then, over the course of the game the capitols returned with 3 unanswered goals to win the game.
Fara Moskowitz
The players without the puck move to open space so they can be passed to. There is a lot of hitting and trash talking between the teams. Also, the goalies keep their knees bent most of the game so then are ready to block shots.
P.S. Playoffs are in June, but you're still my favorite teacher. aannddd bret nelsons fan club is taking home the championship this unit
Elise Green-
I watched the caps play the penguins in the Winter Classic. I saw that the players passed a lot and always kept the puck moving. People got knocked over often. I also noticed that the goalie went on its knees to block the puck from going in the goal. I was impressed by the way the players moved the puck around
this is nikite lukyanov and i couldn't find any vidios in the link so i went to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb6bTnnUfZg
on youtube to see a game and i notised that the golie didn't use his hands but his legs to block the puck. I had no reactions to the game bacause i didn't know who was playing who and i usualy dont watch hockey games. the players also seem to be more spread out and less active then in our games.
the players also seemed to have a bubble in whitch if anyone went in both players went away from each other. there was also no slaping the ball away from people or enyone in close combat like in our games.

I watched the Buffalo Sabres play the Boston Bruins. I noticed that when ever a player has the puck he guides it forward but not really pushing the puck. However, if that person is being attacked he moves the puck left and right so the other player has a hard time getting it. Also, whenever a player goes for a wide shot to the goal, he faces sideways to the goal to deliver a more powerful shot. In the end the Boston Bruins lost a close game, 6-7, to the Buffalo Sabres. It was really intense and exciting so I liked it.
I had watched the game between the Lightning and the Capitals. There seems to be a little more leeway than that of other games, as some rules that apply in other games do not apply to hockey. The goalie would attempt to block out any of the shots by spreading out their large kneepads. Hockey is a sport that requires massive amounts of teamwork as seen by their large amount of passing, even in a circle. High sticking seems to be allowed at a certain extent because most player were carrying their sticks above their waist and were not penalized. Hockey seems to be a very tedious game, but is very exciting when goals are made.
The game seemed enjoyable

I watched the Caps and the Penguins game in the Winter Classic. I noticed that as the players move closer and closer to the goal, they keep moving it back and forth with their stick. I also noticed that the goalies are mostly bent and on their knees to block the goal as most as possible and to have easier control of their stick. It is a really aggressive game which is why the players wear so many pads. The players move at blazing speeds as they slide across the rink. Finally, I see the goalie going into turtle mode when he gets control of the puck so that no other player can get the puck.
We'll miss you next semester :(

I watched a game freom 1/25/09. It was an All star game betweenwest all stars and east all stars.
I saw that to block a goal, the goal bent his knees down to the ground which worked several times. The goalie could also reached out his hand to block a puck. Kovalekv from the East All Stars made a shot which the goalie failed to block even when he reached out his hand. St Louiz went from behind th e West ALl Star goal and made a shot from the side. The hockey players kept the puck in control by moving their stick from side to side. The game ended tied 11 to 11.
Kisha Thakur,
I watched the Pittsburgh Penguins play against the Tampa Bay Lightening. The goalie always kept his knees bent to prevent the opposite team from scoring. Evgeni Malkin got Pittsburgh a goal within seven seconds. Alex Goligoski made another goal for Pittsburgh and tried to score 3 more. Chris Conner Tyler Kennedy and Mark Letestu also scored for the Penguins. Stevie Downie had gotten a black eye. In the end Penguins won.
John Arango,
I've watched Tampa bay verse Colorado.
I liked how the goalie was focused on the ball and kept his eye on it the whole time. I liked how enthusiastic and energetic the players were. I liked the way both team's teamwork went successful, even though one of them lost. I've observed how if one team is more aggressive than the other, that team will more likely win the game. I've learned that if the goalie died trying defend the goal, his team would've won. This relates to a quote, "The pain is temporary, but pride is forever".
1. The players sort of swivel their stick side to side as they move.
2. To attempt to score, the players very quickly push the stick forward against the puck.
3. To stop, the players suddenly turn sideways.
4. When moving, the players lean forward slightly.
5. I couldn't see the puck.
I watched the Caps play Tampa Bay. I noticed that Ovechkin played pretty well but was unable to score. The players skate really fast and the game was very physical. There was a fight and lots of big hits.Some players have cool helmet art. Varlamov played a great game and made over 30 shots. The capitals were bad on the power play as usual and it cost them as they lost in overtime 0-1.

I am not sure who I watched play, but it was on hulu. The person with the puck was constantly moving it. People actually passed to each other to prevent the opposing team from getting the ball. The goalie would get on his knees. The goalie held his stick sideways, across the goal. Slapshots would be used if they were wide open, but not if there was a defender near them. Also, sometimes the players who were not actively playing would have their sticks facing upward. Hockey also has offsides.

I watched the Caps and Penguins game! Some things I noticed were that in order to keep possession of the puck, the team would pass it back to the defense and switch it from one side to another. I also realized that the goalie gets down on his knees to give more surface area for the puck to hit rather than net. Another thing was that shots to the upper and lower corners were most effective. Lastly, I noticed that the teams really take advantage of their open player during powerplays, and that the players settled the puck before passing to prevent it from skipping on the ice.

I watched the Blues vs the Maple Leaves in Toronto. I had never really watched much hockey before, so I was surprised to see how much the goalie was involved in the game and how much he had to bend his knees. Also, the first 10 minutes were definitely the most intense out of the rest of the game. The players were very aggressive and pushed each other around a lot. They smash the other players into the wall very often, it looks really violent...

Hockey has offsides.
Straight line hockey is when you move straight instead of horizontally.
When a player gets put in the penalty box, the opposing team has a chance at a power play.
Each period is 20 minutes.
There are 3 periods.

I watched the Blues at Maple Leafs. I saw the players flick their stick when shooting the puck, rather than having a huge arm swing. I also realized that Asong was correct that players and engage in violent contact, because this is a contact sport. Something that was annoying was the buzzer whenever the players scored. Like what the students in your class do, the players like to crowd the goalie box and try to get a quick score. Also, like what Ryan does, the players do hit the puck with their skates too, which adds an interesting touch to the game.
Hi this is michael Zhang. I watched the caps game and what i saw was people moving the puck back in forth in order to control the ball. Also, i noticed the goalie is always on his knees or bending his knees. They also cooperate with each other in order to score a field goal. There are sidelines which count as out of bounds just like in basketball or soccer. Also, when they are traveling up the field, similar to basketball they slide the puck instead of keeping possession of it.

SORRY SORRY SORRY.
I watched the caps and the penguins play.If a person has a puck they would alternate it back and forth with their stick. I noticed how the team worked together to score a point. I saw that the goalies keeps their knees bent in order to move easier. I noticed that one person in particular would fall over a lot. Another person had trouble getting the puck, all in all i was amaze at how well the teams played.
Would this be an 8/10? :(
