What does "faceoff" mean? Watching the statistics I saw very ofter that somebody won faceoff against Bozak :))) (Sometimes Bozak also won) :)
ReplyDeleteThe faceoff is the part in the hockey game where they drop the puck to start the play. If your team gets the puck, you won the faceoff.
ReplyDeleteIt can be a noun--a faceoff, 6 faceoffs
It can be a verb--he faced off against him.
