Ice Hockey Expressions
Utvisning, förlängning, ståplats — Swedish hockey talk from the stands.
Hockey Swedish, complete: the arena and its tribes (ståplats, supporterklubben, en ramsa), the rules layer (tekning, blå linjen, icing, the penalty ladder from två minuter to matchstraff), the drama machinery (videogranskning — målet står sig / underkänns; ta ut målvakten, sex mot fem), the climax script (kvitteringen med åtta sekunder kvar, arenan exploderar, ett avgörande mål i förlängningen) — with the truest card in the deck: bortasektionen sjunger ändå.
