The code has always been win at all costs, nothing new there, honour has nothing to do with winning a sporting event, I have never heard a player say, "oh well, we may have lost but at least we played with honour", it just wouldn't happen, and why would a player tell a referee that he kicked the puck into the net? This makes no sense, the way refs call games 7\10 they don't know what to call anyway, so I'd take my chances that they would screw up the call. Slight tap or a shot that leaves a smaller mark than the one Smitty got can hurt, all the same, neither hurts, now when Roenick's face looked like hamburger earlier this year, now that would of stung.
