Welcome to my house!
I'm always there to play hockey, but I don't mind a little rough and tumble every now and then if some guy is being a #%^*. Thankfully they are few and far between.
I think most of the guys who bring the dirt and cheap shots usually pick their targets carefully..and when they're put on the spot they might yap a lot, but they won't back it up.
By the same token I enjoy bumping people where I can, but I don't pick on weaker skaters; keep it clean, and leave plenty of handbrake on. No one seems to complain, I'm happy to cop it back..and do..and the refs are pretty good at leaving that stuff alone.
I put a couple on last night, the ref invariably puts the whistle up towards their mouth, has a think about it on the way and the whistle goes back down. The bench certainly enjoys it; and I think everyone does to be honest. The boards rattle a bit, but no one gets hurt.
