US player runs Canada Goalie and turtles after being challenged. Both teams come in to discuss and two individuals get a little animated. Would be interested to see how penalties shook out. I know the faceoff is outside the zone. Nothing too earthshaking. However if I was the US player that ran the goalie and turtled I would definitely increase my on ice awareness the next time the teams meet.

As an individual who has done his share of lining hockey at different levels, one never, never, grabs a player from behind and immobilizes their arms like that. It is begging for a free shot after which the place is up for grabs

its standard, there’s no fighting allowed in IIHF competition, be that as it may, you and me both know as players there’s a code to be upheld, and this sorta thing doesn’t surprise us.
