I only hope that the Flames can dig deep like they did when Gio went down and do the same thing.  |
Street Pharmacist is right though. You can't dream of going back to the players policing themselves, when it was clearly a far more violent game across the board when that was a thing.
I googled 1980's slashing NHL and this it what came up. There are more bad slashes in the first ten seconds of this clip than in the 21 slash salute video.
