What's with the face-off in hockey?
Why does this seem to be such a production? One skater gets set in the circle, the opposing player skates around for a bit like he doesn't want to face off. Then another player gets in the circle and does the same thing, and after a bit the crowd starts to boo.
What's the conflict? Isn't there just a set of rules that should make this process simple? I don't understand the drama of the face-off.

When you see the center man leave its cuz one of his teamates was to close. thy have to be behind the circle and if they are not the ref will change to centermen kinda penalizing the team

If you actually knew hockey, you would know that you can get tossed out of the face-off for things like encroaching on the circle, too many early swipes, and other things. Then, another player must take the face-off, and if this happens to the home team (especially a star center), the crowd could get upset.

a center who never gets kicked out of the face-off circle=a guy who just isn't aggressive enough
