I work at a arena that hosts a minor league hockey team. (I work on the A/V staff, operating the camera and ads for the jumbo screens, etc.) Just started this season and had never really paid much attention to hockey before.

I was shocked at how brutal it is and what they are allowed to get away with. Guess it is part of the game, but wow. Just constant pounding, slamming, paybacks, and when the inevitable fights do come, the refs just stand back and watch, no matter what happens, until one of them hits the ground. Weird.

I realize this incident we are talking about goes way beyond all that, but still...
