Mostly I yell at them for illegal hits (a legal hit shouldn't do any serious damage to these dudes; I mean, they are wearing enough padding to weather a three-story fall, and they routinely fall onto the ice and bound right back up) and roll my eyes at the fighting, because seriously, guys, if I wanted to watch boxing, I'd WATCH BOXING. (Although I do have favorite fights, like when Tim Thomas - a goalie - insisted on fighting Carey Price - another goalie - I think largely because he was bored. They basically waved their hands around for a few minutes, took some of their clothes off, then started laughing. It's also great because of the looooong skate Thomas had to do to GET to Price, who was clearly going, "Seriously? We're going to FIGHT? Dude, we're goalies. Okay, sure, whatever, it's not like anyone is going to be scoring right now anyway.")

But! If you don't like the fighting, may I recommend college hockey? They aren't allowed to fight there. (And they're talking about banning it in Major Junior, which - PLEASE GOD YES let's stop the teenagers from punching each other. I am ALL FOR THAT.)
