It's lame

I live in Georgia, and I am similar to most men from the Southern US in that I really have no use for hockey. They seem to take any and every excuse to brawl, so saying an act would cause a brawl in hockey is akin to saying that Peter Griffin went to the clam to have a beer because Cleveland moved away.
As for the basketball analogy, I have played quite a bit of playground ball. We normally play to 21 around here, sometimes 15 if the court is crowded. If I am up 13-0 in a "fun" game to 15, I am more than likely going to call it a tie and walk to keep from wasting my time, his/her time, the time of the folks waiting for next, etc. There is no fun if there is no challenge for me. It's one thing if I am trying to coach a kid, playing in a tourney, invited a guy from 50 miles out to play, money on the game, whatever. However, if I needed a rush and some exercise, there is no rush to be gained from beating someone who apparently never had a chance on the first place.
