Slashing is part of the game like it or not. Players are told to and encouraged to do it in order to make things unpleasant for star players. You must not get what it's like to be out on the ice because it happens all the time at any level from beer leagues to the pros.
It's really going to be fun watching the game in 10 years when you can't even fart next to someone without being called out.
