Anyone else think that kind of thing should be NOT be allowed?

Although, I'm not sure how you could prevent it.
I get what you're saying, but the kids who can pull it off worked hundreds of hours to do it. Looking a bit foolish when it doesn't work is punishment enough imo.

Whitelaw having a really nice game.
 
Yes. Crotchety old analysts who hate personality and fun and can’t figure out how the NHL keeps being stuck in the mud while every other sport grows at a rapid pace. That’s who.
Hockey has evolved tremendously over the past decades, it's practically not even the same game from when I grew up watching it.

Oh... don't be grumpy.

What is the attendance like at the tournament?
 
Just getting to tune in now..........I see Pierre Maguire is back calling games, needs to pay the bills after his recent loss of employment I guess.

8-1, ouch.
 
Seriously. Watch an NHL game from the 60s. It's a different world from today's game.

Total respect for those guys, but quite happy the sport has progressed.
Massive difference for sure, Hockey has not stayed stagnant whatsoever.


We don't even need to get into bench clearing brawls do we?

I love how, when they took draws, they stood up straight.


Why did he lose it? Being sincere - I don't know.
I never looked into the particulars about it, my guess is that he was fired for being Pierre Maguire, lol

Like him as an analyst for the junior program though, good times.

I miss the brawls from the old Nordiques / Canadiens games.

I like Pierre McGuire. Sad to hear he is unemployed.
 
I confess to missing them too if I am being honest, but change was inevitable.


I also miss the Nordiques period, if only because I so loved to hate them.

Agreed on both - Dale Hunter was such a worm, but it was the Stastny's or Goulet just murdering teams after they would retaliate on that guy.

Anyway, in terms of throwback moments, Marty's boy Lucas threw an oldschool bodycheck that rattle some teeth today.

Excellent!!

I've got a good story about St Louis. He was playing in a preseason game In Halifax with the lightening before he made the bolts as a regular player, just some unknown guy who was trying to show that he could play to the organization. As the game progressed he was playing really well and me and my cousin started laughing at his name and size combo for some strange reason and every time he touched the puck we would go........"it's little Martin St Louis!!"



Little did we know we were witnessing a future Hall of Famer. Life can be pretty trippy sometimes.
