Unless the other team is on a power play, in which case you can slap the puck down the ice at will. A lot of hockey newbies find this rule confusing because people generally fail to point out that allowing guys to just wail the puck back and forth from one end to the other would be, well, boring. Once the alternative is imagined the rule makes sense. Two-line passes are a little trickier to 'splain because of the whole "defending team" explanation that is required as well.
