They keep playing like this and the NHL just may gain a few fans. Cheap shots, punching defenseless guys, head hunting and lots of brawls.

Being from the south, hockey has no chance, but over the weekend I got sucked into watching Boston-Washington and I will say I was very suprised how enjoyable it was. Very high tempo with tons of excitement. Pretty interesting, even if I don't get half the rules.

Not sure what rules you dont get, maybe the offsides? or Icing ?

Offside is just like football , don't cross the line early. :103631605 Except in hockey the line isn't invisible.

Icing is just dumping the puck past the opposing teams goal line from past center ice on your own side. Other than that everything else is self explanatory with penalties and stops in play.

Bos-wash was very boring for the most part.

I figured the offsides were like soccer. Icing I really don't understand the point. When they face off, they back off players who touch the other guy first?
