Great thread its sad to see what has happened to todays product, so watered down and nice nice, and anytime there is some roug and tough hockey, the league steps in its sickening. Your right were talking NHL hockey from 10 years ago, and Lindros was a fun player to watch, he REALLY was looking back


Its not all Bettman (he gets some blame for sure) but there are many factors including todays instant 24/7 media - anytime there is a big hit, its on the news loop 24/7 and every sport show and media outlet is talking 'how bad or dirty' the hit was


There are many reasons for the changes, including society as a whole
