It could also be said of the sports nostalgia channels showing vintage hockey games having the same sort of popularity for the same reasons. Those games that featured many not wearing helmets and thus considerably less stickwork and more player individuality and appeal, a bit more fighting and more standing up for oneself, and even the organ music in the background without the canned music and sound effects of today are probably that much more watchable as opposed to today’s brand of NHL hockey in many instances.
