[QUOTE="Canucks, post: 510845, member: 43938"] But there's got to be more to it than that. I am not trying to take the mick, I am honestly curious. Your saying that the only way to take the ball is to intercept it, so whats stopping someone going all the way down an scoring. I'm certan your not allowed to make body contact. Are you allowed to stick check? If so what are the rules? Is it stick on stick? Does your stick have to touch ball first? Are you allowed to shot block with your body? How about the goalies? Are they allowed to go on their knees into a butterfly? Are they allowed to smother the puck? Speaking of stereotypes, fighting in Canada is a culture thing. It's in all our sports at almost all our levels. To an outsider it looks barbaric and yes it may be barbaric but for our culture is almost necessary in some situations. I don't go to a hockey game to watch a fight. I go to watch good hockey, hence why I hate this years abomination of a Stanley Cup final. Fighting happens. Here's Canadian logic on fighting. You do something to my team that's cheap, therefore to not appear weak, I must respond for my time but in a fair fashion. Therefore I challenge you to a fair fight. Works this way as well, my team is dogging it, I want to spark them, so I start a fight, preferrably with a bigger guy. Or, you and I have a long history of not liking each and finally it's come to front. In our anger we fight, everyone lets us finish and splits it, and then that's the end of our issues (on same teams only.) As well, there are rules to fighting. In that video you saw a few. When a ref intervenes you stop. When your opponent is on the ground and not getting back you stop. If you are true men you take the gloves off, helmets off, meet at center ice and go for it. I understand British attitudes towards which is why it isn't popular over here. For example, in Canada, at mens rugby level below 1st, it is common to have one brawl a year (screw the Vancouver Rowers.) There is never a citation, no supplementary discipline. In England, you get banned for 6 weeks for a single punch no matter how well deserved (seen 3 times this season alone.) Heck, I know a coach that got 6 months for calling out a ref on screwing up the score. Culture difference. Basketball isn't really sizest. Steve Nash disproves anything about having to tall to be considered good. Want to complain a discriminatory sport, try NFL. Only 2 white running backs (who have been treated like crap) and no white cornerbacks. As well any black QB gets treated as if at any moment they may not understand whats going on and there are no black kickers. Most racist sport on the planet. [/QUOTE]
