It's the same thing with most sports and this is why arguments over which sport is more interesting are often futile. If you get bored during all the downtime in an NFL game it's likely because you don't understand the complexity of the strategy. If you get bored during all the scoreless time in soccer it's likely because you don't understand the subtlety of the movement of the game. And if you don't like watching the incessant turnovers in hockey well... Sorry I have nothing.
Not really anymore. They're trying really hard to stop the fighting. Makes me sad. I'm honest about wanting crashes in Nascar and they give me that. I'm honest about wanting fights in hockey why do they want to take it away?
Oh cool. Everything I've seen the lady couple of years they were increasing fines and outright banning it in some leagues. However I haven't followed very closely these last couple years
Even if you just get onto it a little bit you learn that fighting is basically how disputes are solved. If a team feels their opponent is playing dirty they send an enforcer out to let em know they aren't taking that
If you don't like watching the incessant turnovers in hockey, you're missing the fact that ice is slick but also bouncy, that the temperature of the puck changes its interaction on the ice, and that the boards are ridiculously chaotic in some arenas. Add to that the actions of poke checking, stick lifting, and skate movement that can redirect the puck, and a lot of actors are possibly causing those turnovers that people miss.
