Never saw it but I heard good things about it. What did you think? Any dominant messages or themes?
Basically that the Enforcer Era came about as a natural consequence of the 1966 NHL Expansion when the talent got thin. And if you look at the Flyers, as the prime example, this would seem to be true. They had to build a wall around Bobby Clarke otherwise he’d have had a very short career. Scrappy player, but slight and diabetic. Probably a guy who would have topped out in the AHL had the NHL remained a 6-team league.
