gbasalmon Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I was just surfing around www.dropthepucks.com, and I found an interesting picture in the Sabres section.

NJTank Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Rob Ray is funny Its a shame the NHL goon is dying breed I miss the good ole days when a goon will have atleast one fight a game and the fans would go wild. sigh www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zer0dotcom Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 and without 'goons' to protectthe team and the gigh profile players, we have injuries to players that would never be touched with a police player. I miss the pre-instigator days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Yeah there were less injuries in the old days to the big name players becuase you knew there would be pay back and that kept everyone in line. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zer0dotcom Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 and the games were more exciting because star players were able to play wihtout having to worry about being roughed up or hit the wrong way. Much more exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Darn the instigator rule...I wish more people would understand the necessity for players to police themselves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I know this is all because of liberal hand ringing."Oh their is too much violence too much violence my kids will start emilating and want to fight in their own games."Yet little do the realize its part of the game taht kept it exciting and prevented serious injures. There was no head hunting either back then, so that prevent cuncussions how amny stars players have been lost to cuncussions over teh last 10 years. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC97 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Oh, you are a jerk. It's true though... the same thing has been brought up for visors, and fighting in the game --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfannova Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 No, it's wrong to bring up "liberal handwringing." Wayne Gretzky was the leading candidate to get rid of fights, and once he joined the fight, everybody just kinda nodded and said, "If the "Great One" said it, it must be true!" Notice that one year after he publishes his book and totally lambasts fighting, the instigator rule is put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no head hunting either back then, so that prevent cuncussions how amny stars players have been lost to cuncussions over teh last 10 years. At least in hockey the fighting and violence is kept on the ice, it not often (ever that I can remember) that anything has left the arena and followed someone home. They can settle their differences and be done with things.Also, it was a big even at one time to have two teams with big enforcers play each other, who remembers the big battles between Domi, Ray and probert? those games got people to tune in and watch.I'm not saying that the NHL should play up fights on the ice, but people wanted to goa nd see these players, and thats what the NHL should do again, get people excited in going to see the best players play against each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw Habsnova Don Cherry is right. I agree with 100% about the visor issue, and who is hurting hockey because they are whimps. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfannova Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Don Cherry is a racist nutjob. His constant rants are the same every week and always seem to be against "Euro's and Frenchies". He makes me sick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes me sick... Where's my violin? That visor comment was blown way out of proportion... he said most of the visor wearers in the NHL are Euros and Frenchies.... AND THEY ARE! That's not opinion, it's fact.Oye.Let's start censoring scientists whenever they prove something. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfannova Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I admit, that was blown out of proportion. But he made an unfair generalization that French and European players were wussees.But you have to admit that he is a major jerk to the French and European players. He's horribly biased toward the Leafs (As is that whole show), which gets INCREDIBLY annoying, especially during the playoffs. From memory:Don: ...We have to get less of these damn Russians in this league..[interrupting]Ron: Uh, Don, He's from FinlandDon: It's all the same thing!

Eh, it's funny... like Archie Bunker type funny.It leans to be biased towards the leafs fans because, well, it comes during the 1st intermission of every leafs game... and that just happens to be the biggest audience that tunes in. That's business... appeal to your largest market.There was mass overreaction to the Conan stunt too, our politicians made me embarrased of my country. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
