Sportsnet is showing 1993 Stanley cup finals game 5. Montreal against the Kings.
I’m really struck by the amount of hooking, holding, slashing, interference that happens as routine play.
The hockey is slow and grinding.
It’s funny just how much I idolized those players for being so great and I’m not sure that most of them would survive in today’s NHL.
Nostalgia vs reality is a funny thing.
