There was a lot of hockey worth watching in the 70s. ............. I enjoyed it most in the early to mid 80’s, of course I lived on L.I. back then.

There was something special about hockey in the 1970s. Very few players wore helmets so many of them were instantly recognizable without even having to know their numbers. Also, the fighting was much more part of the game. In most cases, the fighting players got nothing more than a five minute major and were back on the ice in no time at all to drop the gloves again.

The game got ruined somewhat by the mandatory helmets and the "neutral zone trap" type of play.
