Yeah. I mean, it's certainly something that drives the entertainment of the game though. There aren't many (any?) sports that allow the kind of after the whistle type play that hockey does. It's part of the charm and, weirdly, fun of the game. But it doesn't happen unless people do borderline (or even line crossing) things like this.
