Another hockey fan here - and I like my games close, which usually means low-scoring. However, there **is** something to be said for a good old fashioned arse-whuppin’ - especially if the other team really needs it.

Rugby League is my game, there are about 8-10 scoring events in 80 minutes - a fairly happy medium - but the important factor is how they’e earned. Too many soft tries is dullsville.
