>>45901 actually, NHL players are probably the best conditioned athletes on the planet, aside from distance runners. two-minute shifts? yea, sure, but this isn't the same as playing 2 minutes of ANY other sport on the planet. Skating seems like it's an easy way of getting around to people who haven't played, but believe me when I say that it uses muscles you didn't even know you have, and it's tiring as fuck (especially when the ice is chopped up and it's basically a surface with as much friction as concrete). Add to that the fact that you're constantly stopping and starting in the other direction, needing to accelerate again, and the fact that you're getting knocked on your ass, and two-minute shifts are almost unthinkable at a professional level.
>>45922 You're just retarded. I'm betting you're from Virginia or somewhere in the southern United States. You can't punch unless you're in a fight, and the majority of players in the NHL get in one or two fights a season, which last a minute or two. Also, most NHLers have pretty good dental health these days. There's more finesse and athletic skill involved in hockey than you could ever imagine, since you probably grew up in a town whose only claim to fame was high school football played by every fatass who could run full-speed into another person thinking that it's a sport. There are about 4 positions in football that require athleticism. Face it - the rest of the players are sumo wrestling.
