@JPH2 Well in those days, the game was played at a much slower pace than it is now. Also the equipment and the ice was so much inferior on what they play on today.
Plus players train all year around. Players would get in shape during training camp after spending an off season of playing golf and drinking lol
Now you can also take in the fact that these teams were very good in the regular season that year. Although the Rangers made some noise in the playoffs
good stuff, two seasons after the run to the finals versus the habs. The rangers actually won the first game of the finals too. Phil was the assistant coach for the team as well
Why does it look like the players can barely skate or keep their balance?
