The players are constantly being slammed. It is much worse than football ever could be. They must be covered with bruises the next day. I don't know how they can stand up and walk. And why don't they end up with a collection of broken bones?
I think I mentioned I was walking behind Bobby Orr once and he is SO bow legged! His knees must be shot. They are also usually missing most of their front teeth.
Ruff, now you need to watch a couple of hockey movies, Slap Shot (with Paul Newman!) and The Mighty Ducks. :D

You can see my discussion with college friends on FB -- we watched that 1980 Olympic hockey game together in the run-down old house we were sharing. I had SUCH a crush on Jim Craig, then I literally bumped into him in a bar in Quincy Market. I just about had a heart attack! He was so nice and kind of shy. At least I didn't spill my drink on him, my usual MO, LOL!
