Perfect imitation. Do you do the cross-eyed, confused look too?

There's a reason they've contained that sport to one continent, and it's no coincidence that continent happens to be an isolated island well separated from the socially developed regions of the world.

Fighting in hockey is part of the game, the players police their own sport much like baseball. Someone wants to put a stick or elbow in your face you take action into your own hands. The refs are there for little more than to call the time and score, it's not their job to break up fights, they just call the winner.

But what's the point of allowing fighting? I don't get it.

Can a team be fielded with just fighters trained purely to knock other players out while on skates and then just go for the bloodbath?

I call you out on the part I give a damn about.
Bunch of dudes prancing around on skates, pretending to punch each other is not my cup of tea, but whatever floats your boat over there in snow-land.

Can those goons skate fast enough to catch the hockey players?

Look at the refs standing back allowing the viewer to jack off to the "Rollerball" violence ... ooh...until a helmet comes off and then OM effn G health and safety kicks in! What a joke you all are over there; watch some rugby see what WAR really means.
