Instead of taking a normal shift, and waiting through the cycle, a player will come out for an irregular shift. <br /><br />Yes, cheap time-out with the goalie swap. Especially if the arena has a "short bench" and the backup goalie sits near the stands, and not on the bench. It takes longer for the backup to get into the game...A.K.A. a cheap timeout.b_wags29https://www.blogger.com/profile/02330448122521446022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154756678374578057.post-42714591432659278162011-11-17T23:24:57.997-05:002011-11-17T23:24:57.997-05:00*What is double shifting?*

So, everyone else on your line changes, but you stay out and the person you normally change with stays on the bench. When the Caps are behind they often double shift Ovechkin. <br /><br />*is the glass/boards the same height & pattern at all arenas or does it vary?*<br /><br />Height and pattern are the same, they must meet a standard. The "glass" is often slightly different material, the way they are mounted is different and the boards supports are often different. These differences impact how the glass and the boards "play". Some boards rebound the puck harder then others, some glass gives more than others which takes a lot out of checks, some glass supports stick out more then others which can cause a puck sent around the glass to bounce off at odd angles.Over_headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932486848346030690noreply@blogger.com
