In any other sport, you get ejected/fined/suspended/worse for a little pushing, yet hockey matches are more like NASCAR used to be (not a fan of that, either:) people go to see the wreck/fight and not the game.
I guess there's no question in the jumble of random mutterings, but I would appreciate an explanation as to the nature of liking this...sport.
