Since you asked for an eyebrow-raiser, I miss the talent disparity of the 70's. I readily admit the quality of play in that decade was probably lower than any other decade; just watch some videos of the bottom dwellers (my team included) and they're skating around like chickens with no heads. I readily admit the conditioning and training in modern hockey is better than the 70's. I simply liked the individuality of players and teams in the 70's, including having really good teams and really bad teams as opposed to what seems like perpetual parity. Yeah, you have first place and last place teams today but when you look at the goals for/goals against differentials they're nowhere as wide as in previous eras. I miss teams scoring and allowing over 300 goals in a season. By my unofficial count, only 3 times since 2000-01 has a team scored 300 goals!
