My coworker took me to a Stars game and I was hooked immediately. Never watched hockey before. The speed and physicality is unreal.
But I don't understand half of what's happening. What's icing? Why do they change lines so fast? What makes a good power play vs a bad one?
I don't want a textbook explanation. Just tell me like I'm a football fan trying to understand hockey.
Watch the players without the puck. Once you see the positioning and movement away from the action the game makes so much more sense.
