Doesn't really matter if a few online posters don't think there should be a "code" for what is acceptable on the ice... because there is. The players that play the game have decided this.
Obviously the code is always changing (and getting less violent) but I don't see it going away for stunts like ripping a slap shot on an empty net breakaway against your provincial rival on HNIC.
And before the "crosscheck to the face" is referenced yet again... YOU CAN'T CROSSCHECK SOMEONE IN THE FACE. CROSSCHECKING IN THE FACE IS VERY BAD, MM-KAY. RIELLY IS GETTING SUSPENDED.
