Physical? What league have you been watching? Tell me so I can watch some good hard-nosed hockey again!
I feel the NHL is less physical than I've ever seen it. I'm okay with less fighting, less slashing, etc, but (clean) bodychecks and specially open-ice hits seem to be on their way out. Eric Lindros was born in the wrong era!
