Ed Whalen would probably enjoy the watered down, soccer-mom approved NHL of today where fighting is frowned upon but concussion-inducing cheap shots get only three-game bans. BTW, Whalen quit Stampede because a wild brawl between Bad News Allen and Archie "The Stomper" Gouldie was too much for him to take and he had the show taken off the air since he had the authority to do so. If Ed has his own "personal hell", he should be forced to call Combat Zone Wrestling (do a search) from purgatory.
These announcers were Ed Whalen and John Davidson...I'll admit Ed Whalen wasnt the best Play by play but I have fond memories of those days watching the the Flames on 2&7. John Davidson is one of the most knowledgeable people in hockey...HNIC and the Hot Stove dearly misses his presence...but clearly the St.Louis Blues are happy he joined them. You may not like their commentary but the two of them know more about hockey than you ever will.

Obviously jonasnight and clebo99 dont know what classic is. Its the same as you do not know what a dick and a pussy is...I can still smell the breast milk on your breaths, you are too young to understand classic hockey. Learn from this message, if you dont know shit, shut your yap. Anyone who reads this message and will agree with me.
Perhaps the announcers were complaining about that tough guy cheap shot artist Semenko going after a non-fighter - that is disgusting. But when Semenko fought guys like Behn Wilson or Dave Brown or Probert, he turns into a fucking pussy, and just grabs on and fag-hugs like the coward chicken shit he was.
Funny how a knee to the head warranted a 2 game suspension back in the 80's

semenko would get a few games vacation nowadays for the proverbial knee he threw at Konroyd.

This has got to be the most dis-heartened bench clearing brawl I've ever seen. LOL.

Was that a skate or a knee that Semenko used at 0:18?

Kind of a lame "coming off the bench". They basically just causally came off....
