Yep, to quote my brother-in-law Andy Brink who played for the hated Gophers, "I can mouth off to the biggest guy on the ice because I know that I don't have to fight." Same with dirty hits or with smack talk, a player can do just about anything and know that they don't have to answer the bell. All you have to do is look at last night's game and when the game got out of hand one of the Gophers crossed checked a Eagle with a vicious high stick, that play should have resulted in a game misconduct.
