Yes, you've guessed it! Players will be able to fight each other in some sort of combat minigame, so
be careful with those tempers, because sparks can ignite at any time. It seems obvious that the players involved in the fight will be sent off the ice in no time, but this still remains a fun minigame and probably the reason for rating it as fit for a public aged 16+.
Quite an intuitive gameplay system, right? You'll do most of the actions thanks to the trick stick, ranging from a normal shot (move the stick up), to a slapshot (move the stick down, and then up) or an aimed shot thanks to the other analog stick. The AI seems pretty tough in NHL 08 and the players won't hesitate to break a few ribs on their way to the net. In the game's menu, you'll find a "pull out the goalie" option, allowing you to push forward the player protecting the net, with the risk of receiving a goal. That will usually happen in the opposite team, in the last minutes of the last period, as the opponents get hungry for victory and give all they've got.
