Bossy taking a borderline dirty hit that was likely acceptable back then but now would be suspendable.
Gretzky taking a clean and legal at the time and probably now hockey hit.
How do they have any relevance to what I said? Do you have a link to Tim Hunter body slamming Gretzky to the ice and causing a concussion? Or Jim Peplinski with a flying elbow on Gretzky?
Hockey is a physical sport, I never said it wasn't. I never said it wasn't dirty in the 80's. Read what I wrote.

You wrote that "
it was all just face washes and whacks and slashes and mean words, it was never over the line, because you knew what happened if crossed it," which is utter bollocks. Hockey is not any more dirty or dangerous now than it has ever been because of the removal of on-ice enforcers. This is a myth.
