Maybe this belongs in the 06-video sticky, but it still doesn't really fit. I just wanted to bring some more attention to the treasure that is the internet. Here is some footage from two exhibition games that was played in 1959 in Moscow between Soviet and Sweden. It's a remarkably long video and the intensity appears to be relatively high for an exhibition game. I especially like the footage of the locker room before the game when you can see the players putting on their gear!
I do believe showing these kinds of videos is important. Sure there was difference in the game back then, but it's not as huge as it's sometimes portrayed. Evidently the players back then were amazing athletes as well!
note: If this is at all interesting, please respond so I know if I should keep posting footage. I'll stick to this thread.
