As this is the first season that I have ordered RDS, I am starting to understand a few of the translations: Avoir acrocier - hooking, avoior du retenu - holding and (my question is almost here) obstruction - holding.  Now, what term was used back when there was the obstruction penalty?  Just curious. P.S. Apolgies for the spelling mistakes.   edit: On the translation topic, there was a blurb on Dandenault and that fateful Redwings Habs game in 96.  Did he score the last goal on Roy, or was he just one of the many?-- Edited by heet_150 at 08:54, 2005-11-09

Someone needs to check that fact because it is a good trivia question.

Obstruction and interference are interchangeable in English, but in French we'd probably say "avoir cree d'obstruction" (created interefence or interfered with the play.)  I don't think French says obstruction holding, I think we just go with "Avoir retenu."

A few more -

Trop de joueur - too many men

cingler - hooking

trebucher - tripping

darder - spearing

rudess - roughing
