Know what you mean about the puck ... following the puck is an acquired skill. Once you get s handle on the game, you get a feeling for where the puck ought to be (if that makes sense) ... you follow the pace and positioning of the game and the players and the puck is sort of where it should be. And after all, it is a black object on a white surface But the physical aspect of the game is where lots of the entertainment is. If one player does something that another one doesn't like, or if there is some long-standing enmity, the gloves come off and they go at it until the refs decide to jump in and stop it. And if you are lucky, there is that wonderful thing called a "bench clearing brawl."
