Pulp Hockey

The following is an exchange a friend and I had on IM earlier. We were talking about the possibility of a transatlantic hockey league and at some point the conversation went down a strange path. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent:

[16:22] MDGator: i think the NHL is considering going to Euro rules in many cases when they resume
[16:22] TheFRB: good
[16:22] TheFRB: much more flowing game
[16:42] MDGator: olympic hockey is pretty thrilling
[16:43] TheFRB: yeah, I dig it
[17:01] MDGator: you dig it the most
[17:01] MDGator: you know what i like most about european hockey?
[17:01] MDGator: it's the little differences.
[17:01] TheFRB: example
[17:02] MDGator: like, there, they don't have a red line. There's no two line pass!
[17:02] TheFRB: oh man
[17:02] MDGator: i seen em passing the puck and drownin' it in lines
[17:03] TheFRB: what do they call a goal there?
[17:03] MDGator: Gooooooooooool!
[17:03] TheFRB: what do they call a dunk?
[17:04] MDGator: I dunno, I didn't watch any basketball.
