Should add that the wide ice surface probably is a huge factor - you can't get pulled out of position making a hit...it's really too bad though that European hockey is played on a different ice surface as it completely changes the game and frankly #######izes it.
Hockey is meant to be a fast paced game that requires quick decision making, where you can expect to get hit, and where a shot from anywhere is dangerous.
Yeesh.
