Did you see when Nevin went to the boards how Awery did not run him . That's the respect that was given back then when we played in the 70's. Today's player would have run him hard and of course hit him very high., Because everyone has a helmet and visor on.
Agreed. If it wasn't for a fellow named Orr, Park would have had multiple Norris Trophy's and probably a Cup or two...he played in 3 SCF but at the wrong time against the wrong teams on the wrong teams...
@ekimfloom Yes. Park was a great player, but was stuck between Orr early and Potvin/Robinson later on, with a pair of knees not much better than Orr's. The retro-stats weasels have found that players +/- went up roughly 20 points when they were paired with Park.
Players like Park should never have had to drop their gloves. If the Rangers had a true enforcer in the early 70's they would have won the Cup. Schultz said at an NHL hearing "if I take Brad Park off the ice I've done my job"
Cashman was tough, but he was no goon. He played for the Bruins for 18 season and retired their captain. He scored 277 goals with 516 assists and was known as the best cornerman in hockey. His TOTAL penalty minutes in his career were 1041, averaging less than 100 minutes per year. Dave Schultz played 11 NHL seasons, scoring 79 goals, 121 assists for 200 points while amassing 2294 PIM. Schultz was the first Hockey Goon who could only fight. Terry O'Reilly # better than Cashmans.
Love those air horns,low glass and no helmets Great times.

I love the way the Bruins surrounded their future teammate. Must have been some sort of initiation.

Piss Off Wayne Cashman? Good luck !!!!He was the original goon of hockey probably next to Dave Schultz of the Philadelphia Flyers.

O'Reilly was not a goon. How many goons ever scored 93 points in a season? Look it up.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Thank you for providing facts and shutting Pete up. To refer to Wayne as a goon is one of the all time dumbest comments ever on youtube.

Park would have kicked Cashman's ass if the rest of the Bruins did not jump in LOL...

Cashman may not have been a goon,however he was one of the dirtiest fuckers in NHL history. top 5 of all time .real hyena

Well Put. But Cashman sure did look like a Goon...man he was an ugly looking SOB. Looked like my dad does now on skates.

Park cross checked Cashman to the head. In the old days you were allowed to clean up the cheap stuff.

Perfectly put. Pricks like Sean Avery wouldn't have survived their first season in the old days
