OFFICIAL HOCKEY THREAD: NHL, KHL, NCAA, IIHL

I get that part, I'm looking for the characteristics that make the game hockey. What about this sport makes it hockey besides ice skates and being primarily white as opposed to soccer/football? And unlimited fighting.

TOUGHNESS. You will see a hockey player get a slap shot to the face, bleed profusely, get stitched up and back on the bench with a cage on within 15 minutes.

Sometimes, they will just stitch them right up on the bench and off they go for the next shift.

Oh, and no teeth.

It's one of the only major sports that penalizes an infraction by removing one of the players from the playing surface for a limited time.

This can create massive momentum shifts and creates a different dynamic that can change the course of the game.

I was hoping it was the clip of MacAvoy getting hit in the head by Hyman.

This one is nice... I guess.

Yea, he has a history of concussion so it's good to see he wasn't hurt.

Boston/Toronto games are a lot more interesting nowadays.

Crosby and Ovechkin better fight once before they retire.
