shutouts
Since hockey is a North American game this is what they call it. I'm presuming this refers to the goalie -- counting a statistic for how good they've been playing or such. Sometimes this is measured in (consecutive) 'shutout minutes.'
Note from asker:
If hockey is a North American game, then why are they playing it in Sweden? |
