I'd risk losing a leg for a couple million USD a year for as long as I last, let alone only worrying about breaking one or whatever other issues NHLers face. I'd rather watch an extremely chippy game then a high scoring one.

Maybe I'm getting soft or don't remember if it was that rough but some of the hits these days seem much more brutal than the past.
I watched the 20th anniversary brawl between Colorado and Detroit and didn't think it was bad.
