It's a bit funny to me watching that video and relating it to the way things are now.
That video had a JSG getting run and punched, Vernon being cross checked in the head, boarding, unwilling players being run down, Friesen being needlessly attacked, guys throwing punches after the ref has intervened, guys throwing punches at guys laying on the ice, etc.
Anyone who thinks hockey has a respect/fighting/reckless behaviour problem NOW should watch that video. Hockey is certainly more gentle and respectful now than it's ever been.
