It never was a race to the dots. When the first player reaches the dots, that triggers a decision by the linesman as to who would reach the puck first (assuming the linesman also deems that the puck will cross the end line). Not an easy call.
I love how supply and demand is the cat's pajamas until the worm turns and bites you in the butt. More jobs than workers? Pay up, you pricks. #fear #loathing #westernnewyerk
