Hockey has all sorts of acceptable things that we are totally used to but really make no sense, especially when watching with a newbie.
The whistle goes and the O-Player is standing near the goalie covering it up. That means the dmen are allowed to cross check them in the neck, head and back and punch in the face, but just a little, not too much.
You aren't allowed to stand there? Oh ya, its legal.
Are you allowed to punch in the face and cross check? Oh ya, just at this time but only for a bit and for a short time, don't go overboard.
