I agree....they were better all-around players in those days.

Many players from back then could not keep up with the incredibly athletic players of today.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

All I want is a good effort,they are up against it tonight

 

[Machinehead]

I wanna see Kreider wrestle Byfuglien.

No punches, just a good man-grapple.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

You were at that game?

Yes

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Murphy is long term meth addict.

Probert received most of that damage in the post instigator “side show” fighting era.

The last 2 are more recent players.

I understand that truth on this website is whatever is the prevailing wind of the week, but head shots and othet nasty plays are occuring more frequently than ever, and at the same time there are way less stick and roughing type injuries of yesteryear.

He was very likely a meth addict as a result of his addiction to painkillers from being an enforcer. Same goes for Chris Nilan.

You are absolutely leaving out information regarding the disproportionate brain injuries relative to enforcers versus regular players. There is a reason fighting is being removed from this sport.

You can live in some fantasy world that believes that head injuries aren't exacerbated by having the sport endorse acts of violence, but that doesn't make it legitimate.

 

[Machinehead]

Yes

Me and Billy were at that game

While true, I think they would have adjusted.

 

[Nickmo82]

I wonder if Staal goes the whole year without getting scratched.

 

[InwoodBlueNYC]

Same.

This is hockey. he has pucks, not balls.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Yes but they would be training and using the same equipment they do now if they were in this era. Some of the players today couldnt sit by the pool all summer drinking beer and then put up 50 goals.

 

[Nickmo82]

That was atrocious defending. Lucky to get away with it.

 

[offdacrossbar]

i fear after this game quinn will scratch all the Dmen not named marc staal.

we will go with something looking like 17/1

and it will work.

then the mets win the world series.

 

[mike14]

Our D-zone seems to have gotten worse over the past dozen or so games

 

[Machinehead]

I wonder if Staal goes the whole year without getting scratched.

It's more likely I go this whole game without scratching my butt

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

I wonder if there's any chance we can offload Smith at the deadline if we eat some salary.

 

[Machinehead]

We had a 4-on-2 there and just dumped it in.

 

[Rempe73]

Smith = idiot.

Two dumb plays in a row. Icing and delay of game penalty.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Me and Billy were at that game

We met up after do you not remember

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Smith did a bad

 

[mrmovies779]

Smith sucks

 

[Machinehead]

Christ in heaven

 

[Mac n Gs]

Solid forced pass for an icing and then delay of game by Smith. Brilliant.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Smith is a moron.

 

[nevesis]

I wanna see Kreider wrestle Byfuglien.

No punches, just a good man-grapple.

He’s out tonight.

 

[Allan92]

Weird seeing Belesky in the nhl again

Hard to believe he was the most sought after ufa just three years ago
