Ice hockey

In basketball, a shot counts if it leaves the hands of the shooter before the end-of-period buzzer sounds, even if the buzzer sounds before the basketball goes through the hoop. American football has a similar rule for all plays—the play counts if it started before the end-of-period buzzer, even if the buzzer sounds before the ball is carried in for a touchdown or the kick goes through the goal posts.

Does ice hockey have a similar rule?—If the end-of-period buzzer sounds after the shot leaves the shooter's stick but before the puck enters the goal, does the score count?

I'm particularly interested in ice hockey, but info on other sports (such as lacrosse, Australian rules football, soccer, field hockey, curling when the shot clock hits zero, Gaelic football, water polo, polo, etc.) would be appreciated too. References preferred, but personal knowledge would be appreciated too. Loraof (talk) 14:28, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article buzzer beater has a section on other sports which answers the O.P.'s question regarding ice hockey, various types of football and lacrosse. --Xuxl (talk) 14:59, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Thanks for that link. Loraof (talk) 22:25, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Logically, the nature of the various games impacts the "why" part of the answer to your question. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:42, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Same Song/Band/Album

(Background: I include trivia questions on my exams, so I look for ones that aren't easy to Google.) How common is it for a song, band, and album to all have exactly the same name? I know there are many cases where a band/artist release an album with the same name. But, how often does that album contain a song with exactly the same name? My personal interest in music is dated, so I immediately think of "Bad Company" and that's it. I can't think of another example. 12.207.168.3 (talk) 13:57, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Black Sabbath/Black Sabbath (song)/Black Sabbath (album) is the only other one I can think of off the top of my head, other than the Bad Company one you know about. --Jayron 32 13:59, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This list only lists songs with the same name as the band that played them, but many (though not all) are also on albums of the same name. --Jayron 32 14:04, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While I know most of those bands, I didn't realize that they all had songs with the same name. So, it isn't very rare. I will have to limit this to a multiple choice question and purposely choose examples where the song or album has a different name. 12.207.168.3 (talk) 14:18, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you're looking for examples rather than literally a statistic on "how common" this is. One that comes to mind is Dschinghis Khan (album). ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 14:12, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Iron Maiden ^[1]

Also Living in a Box/Living in a Box (song)/Living in a Box (album). Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 09:18, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bo Diddley/Bo Diddley (song)/Bo Diddley (1958 album), though the album is a compilation. The song first appeared as a single. Interestingly, there is another album Bo Diddley (1962 album), which doesn't include the song. This song also has the distinction of being a band name/song name/album name which was also extensively covered by other artists. Staecker (talk) 12:26, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For an added bonus, the song uses the Bo Diddley beat. --Jayron 32 13:24, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A close-but-no-cigar (I suppose) example is Pentangle (band)/The Pentangle (album)/"Pentangling". Deor (talk) 15:55, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Metallica, Metallica Of course! Boston, Boston - Kinks by The Kinks - The Doors by The Doors ...need more? I consider it fun to look these up for you! Equinoxepart5 (talk) 17:28, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Eagles - Eagles
David Bowie - David Bowie
Queen - Queen
Kraftwerk - Kraftwerk
(this one is even weirder..!) The Animals - The Animals - The Animals
Small Faces - Small Faces

Those are Bands and Albums of the same name, but not a Song. There is no song Metallica on the Metallica album. There is no song Boston on the Boston album. There is no song The Doors on The Doors album. 12.207.168.3 (talk) 17:44, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh shit! I got the question wrong... I'll look. Equinoxepart5 (talk) 17:56, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Got one! Deicide by Deicide on the album: Deicide. Equinoxepart5 (talk) 18:26, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What are they saying in "OK Pal"?

Listen to this video, to the song "OK Pal" by M83. Are they saying "Pajama, pajama, pajama", or "Together, together, together" in the background? None of the lyrics sites tell me what the riff word is. M83 fan (talk) 18:12, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I can't view or listen to that clip, but assuming you mean what one hears at the beginning of the song and then again in the chorus (D♭ D♭ B♭ in the version I listened to), I suspect they are non-lexical vocables in music or, as The Guardian calls it in this instance, a jibber-jabber vocal refrain (and I won't attempt to transcribe it). ---Sluzzelin talk 19:06, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

'Somewhere else', I think. I haven't heard the song, but you can find the lyrics online, e.g. here [1] and here [2]. /Dangerous Dancing (talk) 13:31, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Who decides the MLB Player of the Week? Is there a selection process or a group of people who vote on it? 66.234.203.14 (talk) 21:49, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good question. The award is given directly by Major League Baseball, and is sponsored by W.B. Mason, according to this. But I can't find what actual person or persons makes the choice. Still looking. Maybe Baseball Bugs knows where to find this information? --Jayron 32 12:21, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looking some (not a lot), I couldn't find the answer, just that "MLB" awards it. They must have some little committee dedicated to this, because I doubt the Commissioner decides it unilaterally. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:04, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My suspicion (based on how these things usually work) is that the selection devolves on to a group of sportswriters who submit their votes to the MLB office each week. But that is just a guess, really. --Jayron 32 10:41, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

“Drag kid” term origins

Hi! I’ve been working on the Desmond is Amazing article and sources state how he says he invented the term “Drag kid”. I’d like to use it in the article but as he’s a little kid he also could be mistaken. Can anyone find a good source for where the term comes from? Gleeanon409 (talk) 07:53, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Celebrating the sexualizing of kids??? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 10:31, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I mean the sexualizing of kids can make a normal person retch. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:21, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the acceptance of the LGBTQ community makes me retch too.... Please don't use Wiki as a platform for your transphobia. Now can mod please deal with this hatespeech? Fgf10 (talk) 08:08, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What hate speech? Little girls being put into beauty pageants is equally nauseating, for the same reason. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 10:14, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please don’t be pervy. Gleeanon409 (talk) 13:21, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't use the term "drag kid" in that sense. Novice drag performers often have mentors that they refer to as "drag mother"/"drag mom" or "drag father"/"drag dad" and the experienced performer will refer to those they help and advise as "drag children" or "drag kids". I would just refer to him as a "kid who does drag" or a "young drag queen". --Khajidha (talk) 12:59, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Eeeh-ooh

In the ongoing ice hockey world championship, in intermissions you can hear someone yell 'eeeh-ooh' or similar, and the audience answers with the same yell. I have heard this at many other events too and I think the yell is from the 1970s or even older. What is the origin of this and when was it made so popular it is almost generally recognised, as it is now? /Dangerous Dancing (talk) 13:33, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You mean something like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzLl8MPuKwI --Khajidha (talk) 15:53, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

American baseball fans will often yell "Day-O!" as a ninth-inning rally cry (the first two notes from "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)"). It's the same two musical notes, and similar yell-and-response, as Freddie Mercury's version. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 16:12, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's the same as the yell by Freddie Mercury at Live Aid. What does "day-oh" mean, then? / Dangerous Dancing (talk) 19:32, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In the original song, it meant that it was sunrise and hence it was time for the nightshift to go home. In baseball, it means that the team has a chance to win, and [if they do], the crowd can go home. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:52, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. / Dangerous Dancing (talk) 20:12, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Super Bowl LVIII

If CBS is Going to Air Super Bowl LV. Then NBC Will air Super Bowl LVI. Then in the next three years in the new NFL TV Contracts CBS will likely air Super Bowl LVIII Three years later If I'm right Because NBC can't air 2 Super Bowls in 3 Years. 68.103.78.155 (talk) 01:55, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You've left Fox out of your post. As mentioned here List of Super Bowl broadcasters the broadcast rights rotate between those three networks. I have not read of any changes but that could always happen I suppose. MarnetteD|Talk 02:25, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

At one time, ABC/ESPN was in the mix. Although not included in the current rotation, a new contract could change that. → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 19:15, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
