I'm old. I watched those games. Even worse were the Leafs-Habs games circa 1964. They were often on Wednesdays and broadcast for some reason. Lots of fights on the players' benches and in the penalty boxes. But who could forget Dave 'the hammer' beating up the star players on the opposition team and daring anyone to try to stop him. The mid-70s Flyers earned the Broadstreet Bullies name honestly. Why bother with goon on goon fights, just intimidate the best players instead.
