Also noticeable during scrums or if the goalie gets run - some players will jump in and others hang back.
Who knows if there is truth to the stories of Tkachuk and Rittich being told to show less emotion but that could be part of it too - hockey is an emotional game and I'd think you want people playing with passion.
