I see your points and you obviously know a lot about hockey but my feeling is that the guys in the '70's were tougher than the guys nowadays. Different game in that era. The guys today don't have the passion for fighting that guys like Fotiu, Wilson, Nystrom, Jonathan, Cochrane, Wensink, Playfair, etc had. Now it seems more staged. I could see Laraque and Brashear maybe tying up and hugging the guys from back then, but not beating them in a fight. Those guys wanted to hurt you, bad. The guys today, with a few exceptions, are more interested in playing hockey and when they do fight, it more often than not, turns into a waltz.
I would like to get into more detail, but I am at work and resticted by time here. Forgive me if I cannot respond to anything in a timely manner that you may want to add onto this debate. I will try.
JMiller and North Star. Let's chill guys. I think this is a good topic and we don't want to see it locked. You've made your points, let's drop it now. Thank you.
