How do you guys think players would do, say for this season, if each player had to use wooden sticks like back in the day? More goals, less goals, sloppier hockey, teams strategies different, etc?
i would rather see goalies with old gear and no helmets
Is it just me, or is there less broken sticks than 5-10 or so years back.
Ok, then the players should go back to wood sticks with no curve.i would rather see goalies with old gear and no helmets
All good suggestions. I like this threadOk, then the players should go back to wood sticks with no curve.
The wooden sticks do not break like these carbonite sticks. If Rants does the cross-checking stuff that he does with a stick made of wood instead of carbon - there would be dead bodies lying on the icePass, Rantanen breaks enough sticks as it is. He’d waste a whole forest by the end of the season

yes and they had to contend with players like this without being dressed like marshmallows with pads up to their waistsI don't get this however many times I see these images. I played goalie once as a kid without equipment, only with a helmet, with a group of 10-12 year olds and holy heck that was unpleasant and painful.
I could only imagine getting hit in the face, even back in those days with wooden sticks, by a puck at full speed.
One difference in those days was that the players seemed to have a lot more respect for each other, even when angry.I don't get this however many times I see these images.

The shots wouldn't be as hard, fewer goals, the truly skilled players would be pretty good, but the less skilled players would probably look like beer league players and overall it wouldn't work out very well.

Ovechkin would score 200 goals vs those goalies, using a banana.Ok, then the players should go back to wood sticks with no curve.
