Yak19 303 Report post Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) Hopefully Downey can play the "Probert Role" for us this year, as much as I love Mac, Downey is younger and willing to scrap day in day out. (im hoping they both stay) Probert was the man in that video, great stuff. No one touches the Legend that is Steve Yzerman. That uppercut on Barrasso lol oh man just pure comedy.

Hank 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2008 Thanks for posting this D-N-T. I love these old videos but they also make me sad. I loved that era of hockey. It was tough, rough and had a lot of offense. It's hard to believe that there was a time that you could see a game where a clean goal could be scored from more than 6 feet away and a brawl like this would break out on the same night.

This is what made the game great and made me fall in love with it. Unfortunately the transition into the 90's with the Bettman era has changed the game forever, and in a negative way IMO.

Opie 308 Report post Posted July 7, 2008 This is what made the game great and made me fall in love with it. Unfortunately the transition into the 90's with the Bettman era has changed the game forever, and in a negative way IMO. Pro sports in General have changed their way very similarly to the way hockey did, the world is ever evolving including its sports, the NHL, NBA, MLB, and NFL and even NASCAR (I hate BTW) have done everything they can to curtail the violence. The leagues are not to blame, the non fan soccer mom who is afraid her child may see a fight or some one act in a violent manner towards another human being is, because then she or the father (if he is still around) will have to explain that violence or violent acts are ok sometimes and not other times. And heaven forbid we as an American Society spend time educating our own children isn't that what schools are for and if not TV definitely is. We (America) as a society have become wussified!!!! Once you start letting political correctness rule your decision making you are making decisions based on the minority, in a country where majority rules? I am not saying minority in terms of race, color, creed, etc, I refer to minority in the fact that Nicolette Sheridan is in towel in a football commercial and one old lady in Bethesda is offended that ad must be removed from TV, so now everyone is walking on egg shells not to offend anyone else. So back to Soccer mom and her child, who not only likes soccer (biggest diving sport in the world, and I am a huge soccer fan, or was) but also likes to play hockey: She watches a clip on Sportcenter or the local new station and sees a player lay an absolute beating on another, she doesn't take the time to know what her Child is interested in, she makes a rash judgment, because that takes less time than a thorough one, and decides hockey = fighting and fighting = bad. So she complains, boom things need to be changed! For example look at how the rules have changed in all sports, NBA added flagrant fouls even though in the 80's the C' Mchale and Parrish both have instances of beating the crap out of players and only getting a regular foul, in today's game it would be a season long suspension. Football, the quarter back, where the camera is focused more often than not can barely be touched, yet linemen who no one cares about anyway (hence the name non skill positions) do things that are criminal on the streets every play (not complaining I am pointing out the discrepancy). NHL, the instigator rule need I say more. MLB, now if you bean a guy or charge the mound it is a suspend able offense, yet running the catcher through the backstop is competitive play? Nascar, guys used to fight in the pits all the time, you did something to cause me to lose, you must deal with my fists aka the consequences. The American society is softening fast, very fast and our sports are not immune to that! I will get off my soapbox now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManLuv4Clears 7 Report post Posted July 7, 2008 Well said Opie, the NBA analogy is a perfect example as well. I guess I'm going to just have to live in the memories of when sports were a little more rough-edged. I'm not looking for all out brawls, but a little physicality, emotion, and blood, sweat and tears never hurt anybody. To hell with the Soccer Mom.... unless she's hot of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not looking for all out brawls, but a little physicality, emotion, and blood, sweat and tears never hurt anybody. To hell with the Soccer Mom.... unless she's hot of course mmmm cougar!!!! Back on topic: Notice how in most sports now when the game ends players from both sides are friends, not away from the rink, field, pitch, court, whatever, right on the field they shake hands smile and talk. Rivalries and hatred are all fan driven now. Even the Sox v. Yanks rivalry is just fan based, they players don't give a s*** anymore, they have more allegiance to their alma mater than they do their current team, because it is a job. They play for the pay check now. That is no more evident than watching a football game, at the end of it all of the players meet on the field and talk about old times with big smiles on their faces. How many times do you think Probie walked across the rink to say hi to an old buddy from the other team? Every one wants athletes to be role models, won't somebody think of the children, but I am of the Charles Barkley school of thought, "You don't want me(chuck) to be your child's role model, you want it to be a Teacher or Doctor or you!" Something to that effect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
