Post-Game Talk: Woll Wills Leafs over Oilers | Leafs Win 4-3

[Stephen]

Hockey was forged through the war era, it's beauty rooted in the balance of raw physicality and controlled aggression, facilitated by honor and code. Its a sport that rewards grit and determination, where skill and toughness coexist. Like all great art forms it will eventually be fixed by newer generations until it's broken, losing the very essence that makes it great.

Ain't nobody got time for whining about a 5mm offside 30 seconds ago. It was fine the way it used to be.

The level of talent during WW2 was considered to be watered down by historians of the sport because many players served overseas during those years. Let's not go all Tom Hanks here and misremember the good old days. Sometimes an offside is just an offside.
