this will enforce the thinking that north american players are a bunch of goons (mostly) and that the europeans are the skilled ones (non-goons)
hard to argue against that sometimes - the second avalanche player was swinging away before he got bertuzzi off the guy's back. as was said, he could easily have added to moore's injuries without stopping to think - did he think that dogpiling his own player was helping him??
for the most part the "goon" stereotype holds true (the popular t-shirt reads "give blood, play hockey")
