Don't be a playa hata, Lou...
Those guys are tougher than football players....
A typical football play is about 5-7 seconds, a hockey shift lasts 45 secs to a minute.
Football Season is 16 games, Hockey is 82.
Football players play once a week. Hockey players 2-3 times a week.
Football hitting is fierce, but so is hockey and they're skating 25 mph when they collide, plus they have a small piece of frozen hard rubber shot at their bodies at 80-100+ miles per hour. That leaves a mark.
Generally, football players are all about chest thumping & 'me', hockey players are always about the team.
Don't get me wrong, I love football. Grew up watching it & playing it in high school & college, and the pro team I root for has 5 Lombardi's in the trophy case (even tho 2004-05 is a rebuilding year), but it's become pretty classless with all of the showboating & trash talking.
