Ah, yes. The age-old trope about how big, open-ice hits and fighting in hockey actually protect players from stick fouls and dirty play is a common fall-back in this discussion. Even in the event that what Jiri has described is essentially how the game mostly plays out already. So long as the best players in the world are playing on the biggest stage the game will always be entertaining.
