Get aload of the top scorers like Orr, Hull, Esposito and also get aload of Rogie Vachon's GAA with the puny equipment used then and also the fact that Vachon was 5'7" and 165 lbs!
The goalies were great then and never get the credit they deserve because they could have GAA's like a Vachon of under 1.40 for 7 games and be wearing almost nothing! Why are today's goalies considered to be so great when they are all 6'3" and wear suits of armour that block half the net and they are so protected that they all use the butterfly and play low to the ice and dare the shooters to shoot high?
