We live in a world that's regulated by codes. We've got rules about how to prepare food in restaurants, how long you have to wait before dating a friend's ex, and we've more or less come to a consensus on when it's acceptible to not wear pants.
Hockey's got a code, too, and the hockey code involves when it is acceptible, is not acceptible, or is required to drop the gloves and fight someone. For the most part, the code is followed pretty well. If you take a cheap shot at one of the other team's skill players, you should probably expect that big hulking guy to come after you. Crash the net too hard and try to take out the goalie, you're looking at the same consequences.
However, sometimes people don't follow to code at all. Case in point, one young Mr. Jonathan Roy (that's french, and is pronounced Wha) who found simself standing around, bored, when there was a bit of a fight going on around him.
That's all kinds of not acceptible, there.
