add to that the fact that the NHL prolly has the worst officiating in professional sports and most people will understand why i stopped watching a long time ago.
i played hockey for a while adn did get cross checked on a few occasions. it hurts, but not nearly as much as getting slammed to the ground did when i played rugby. frozen ground with no pads hurts a lot more than a stick whiel wearing pads.

well yea some of the rules suck, however there's more scoring now, and i think its still more exciting then watching then football, altho i do watch them both. I just hate all the brakes they take in between plays - its almost as bad as baseball which i can not stand. ohh and pads are for goalies
well gramps, i guess its different strokes for different folks.
