Hitting When You're Down

If you are not a hockey fan, bear with me. It seems somewhat violent from the outside, but the etiquette is fairly strict. You never hear hockey guys talking smack to the media or even providing an arrogant opinion of their own skills. Hockey fights are legendary and known to be penalized by rule. The fans appreciate periodic retribution and sometimes players need to vent. There is one hard and fast rule; you never hit someone that is down on the ice. Guys that do that get a misconduct and a fresh beating later in the game. As rough as it seems, this is a gentlemen's game and there is punishment for being a jerk. Business has forever lacked this level of expectation for positive behavior. The only thing I can say is, "keep your head up and your stick on the ice, or you won't see a dirty hit coming".
