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.
It's funny at the end too when the games over and they say that there will probably be fines, possibly even a suspension

Possibly a suspension, maybe

If that happened today everyone involved would have to face some sort of discipline

Don't think Berube ever got a suspension for that game. Today him and both coaches would get 5+ at least
