Oooh, you saw it! I was just working off the live updates from the official site. ("Ooh, another penalty. Oops. Another penalty. And... the U.S. just scored. Again.")
What was the goalie's delay-of-game penalty about? And was it as ugly a game as it looked like from the penalties?
As I understand it, contact is allowed, but you have to be going for the puck. So, I can bump you in passing if I'm trying to get the puck away from you, but I can't just check you before I go for the puck.
FYI, CBC just started the encore presentation a couple of minutes ago.

The goalie was bumped, and dropped her stick and blocker, so to stop play she shoved the net off its moorings and tried to blame an opposing player.

The third period was pretty ugly, yes.

Ah, okay - that makes some sense, then. I know I saw them going into the corner after the puck a few times, and it seemed to get a little rough, and I was wondering why there was no call. It seemed inconsistent.

I still can't figure out how they can keep the opponents from skating right in on goal if they're not allowed to bodycheck.
