I think the opposite. Today’s game is dreadfully boring to watch. And everyone tries to score the same way. Top shelf corner. Often snoozeville.
The 80s was open and fluid and way less predictable which generated more excitement. Watching some of the classics has reminded me of how good some goalies were at covering so much net with that gear.
Too much hooking and grabbing though. I don’t miss that.
