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.......

I don't know about you guys but the 1970s were the "glory days" of NHL hockey for me. The brawling Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers, etc., where most players had only one or two front teeth and nobody wore helmets except maybe the goalies - and even then, not necessarily.
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!

I feel like seeing those old videos of the "Broad Street Bullies" from the heyday of the Philadelphia Flyers of the 1970's or the Hartford Whalers of the same period.
