I love it! The way hockey should be! Does anyone have the CLASSIC footage of the 77 playoffs between Toronto and Philly when they had a mic at the bench and you could hear ol' Clarkie yellin' up a real blue streak?
Lol Tim hunter was infamous for trash talking, he did it all throughout the 94 cup finals agains the rangers. Watch that championship video from that year it's on there and hilarious.
@lostenmusic Took Brownie a while to gather his thoughts. He never was the sharpest knife in the Ginsu collection. Listening to him being interviewed nowadays is like listening to Dustin Hoffman in "Rain Man".
Thats why players are getting hurt by big hits and cheap shots now. Because the policemen are gone. Bettman screwed around with the chemistry of the game with all these rule changes. NOw there's nobody around to make a player pay. So they have free reign to hammer the sweetie pies. People who don't know hockey should not be allowed to screw with it. But thats what happened, and the game has been totally screwed up.
Yeah the NHL has gone so soft now. The battle of Alberta is now a pillow fight.
I blame Bettman for these idiotic new rules. And also there's Canadian hockey writers like Damien Cox and Dave Shoalts who whine and cry whenever a player gets hurt.
@berezin99 i agree with you, the new rookies coming into the NHL these days are all fucking pussies that will do anything to get a penalty. And when they get their stick lifted the ref calls a penalty because the baby boys can't defend for themselves
Why is the ref calling a penalty for lifting a stick? What really bugs me is seeing these guys who fall down then look around for the ref, rather than battle for the puck. Its embarassing, and its ruining hockey.
Remember those great Leaf Sabres battles when Domi and the boys would go to the Aud and battle with Ray, Barnaby and the gang? The fans loved it. And nobody ever got hurt. Because the players knew what to expect and were protected themselves. Nowadays Buffalo Toronto is a snooze fest. Like watching the ice capades.
@berezin99 yeah i'm from Buffalo lol, best hockey city, unfortunately the sport is losing its luster. Not to mention Leaf's games are now just blow outs seeing as now they suck. but i think that its shitty that fighting is not allowed, it probably actually protects players more than you would think.. if two guys can't fight then their own and their teams frustration will increase until there is a terrible act done by one of the players that could be borderline criminal, i.e. todd bertuzzi
@berezin99 todd bertuzzi, and others and their cheapshots is just bullshit.. it would be safer to allow the two guys that are actually on the team to fight, than get two guys who can't fight and just do cheap hits and shots. people like peters, and ray were the ones who are basically paid to be the enforcers.. and the nhl just killed it
I live in Vancouver,and believe me, I have seen it. Bettman is trying to sell hand warmers to Arabs. Hamiilton, Winnipeg and even Quebec City would sell out every game, but where is he looking ? LAS VEGAS! That hotbed of hockey. Look for the worst ice in the NHL after Dallas and Anaheim
People live there to get AWAY from hockey. And what makes Bettman think Americans don't love a good tough hockey game with a good scrap half way through the game?
@sparwood8 I would love to see Quebec and Winnepeg have teams again, but it didnt work the first time around. There is just not enough money in advertising and revenues in those city's
Sad. but true. They'd fill the building though. 'Peg is about 800,000 but nothing much outside the city limits. PQ about 350,000. Vancouver area is over 2.5 million, B.C. 4.6m and we are probably the storngest market after Toronto-Montreal... not because of size (S.F Bay Area has like 5.5m people) but everyone up here watches it
@berezin99 THANK YOU ! DAMIEN COX IS A FUCKING DISGRACE TO HOCKEY, HIM AND HIS PANEL OF SNOT NOSED KNOW IT ALLS ON TSN'S " The Reporters " , As an oiler fan i cant stand him too because hes an oiler basher whos in bed with all things leafs
It is guys like him who cause all sorts of bad controversies in the NHL over such minor issues
@PocketHercules99 I emailed Cox a few years back criticizing his stance on hockey and he called me a "neanthdrathal". Can you imagine? Like we're about the same age. I don't know what kind of hockey he grew up watching. But unfortunately the game is being changed for people who don't even like the game!
@berezin99 Its amazes me people even talk about taking fighting out of hockey, The players want it and the fans want it , even the majority of Gms and Coaches want it So why the fuck take it out, The only dweebs that don't want it is the whiny media types like Cox and the rest of his panel , who dont have an athletic thread in their DNA but clearly they invented Hockey,
I was thinking of sending an email to old Coxy, im surprised you got a response
@berezin99 Totally agree! It's hard to get emotionally involved in the NHL compared to these days. I'm not even from Alberta but when I watched these games as a kid, I would get so involved. Maybe it's because I am older now, but I still think the rivalries were way more intense. The players now tend to be buddies with each other in a way they never used to be. That's just my take on it. Maybe I'm wrong!
That's cuz the Battle of Alberta SUCKS! As soon as a player on either one of those " organizations " ASKS FOR ANY MONEY, they release said player and bring in junk. Both of them canNOT afford to KEEP any quality. When Hall gets old enough and asks for an astronomical amount of cash, he'll be on the Rangers, just like Wayne. And WHY THE FUCK IGINLA STAYS IN CAL-GAY is BEYOND WORDS. One of THE best goal scorers in the NHL and he hasn't gone to Pittsburgh YET to win a Cup? WOW. Must have family?
To appease Americans? WTF?!?! You're right, fans of the Flyers, Rangers, Bruins, etc., don't like the rough stuff... Bettman if a tool, everyone knows that, and everyone also knows that his ego is ruining the NHL, not his desire to please Americans.
dude,,dont back track. you said pussified to appease americans. listen i agree with you but just not the american part. america and canada have the SAME view on hockey. i hate bettman's nhl. and i am a firm supporter that there should be a canadian as nhl commis. bring back hockey of the 70's and 80's and early 90's. i wanna see canadian/ north american hockey,,,no europe.
Well not quite...As an American I love "old-school" hockey that we had seen throughout the 80's, and into the early 90's.
As a die-hard fan of the Red Wings I certainly do miss having some guys on the bench who can defend themselves (as well as defending a teammate) instead of hoping the refs/linesmen stepping in to save them.
Hey Timmy, you got those fucking gloves cemented on now, yeah...crazy eyes Brown.

They're now calling bodychecking a penalty belive it or not.
