This video has so much to notice: Horrible goaltending; the Flyers wearing their long pants; "Season's Greetings" painted on the ice (why don't they do that any more?); hardly anyone in the stands wearing jerseys; Don Cherry doing the colour commentary.
I'd much rather see 3 or 4 goals a game of the quality we're used to seeing today than 5 or 6 goals a game of the quality seen in this video.

Hockey used to be soooo bad. Its miracle we are where we are today.
