Let me know if you want on or off the list...
So, it looks like the hockey game never broke out.
Back in the ‘70s we called this ‘expansion’ hockey - fights brought crowds! I stopped watching until The Great One appeared.
Gretzky and Bettman saved the NHL twice over.
Btw, great Flames-Canucks game last night - finally, the Canucks have a fearsome offense, even if they did lose this one.
Apparently, the evils of the North American “game” have corrupted the pure International sport.......
Looks like Jagr has added a new dimension to his game. LOL!
May 14,1974..Dave Shultz vs Terry O’Reilly..absolutely the best fight in NHL history..O’Reilly was never the same again after The Hammer was through with him
Hooligans! ...Futbol on Ice.
I'm bored to tears with the style of hockey played today in North America. Nothing but neutral zone trap with mostly 2-1 and 3-2 type games. It's kind of like soccer.
I still remember a game between the Boston Bruins and California Golden Seals back in 1974 or 1975. The Bruins were behind 6-2 going into the third period and ended up winning the game 7-6. Scores of 10-2, 8-6 and 11-7 were fairly common. Games were wide open with tons of fights. I remember when Stan Jonathon (of the Bruins) destroyed one of the opposing players in a fight and then skated to the opponents bench and dared all of them (including the coach) to come out and fight. Those were the days!
