Not to mention modern equipment. Put today's players in the same equipment that was used in the 80s and it's night and day. Equipment was so different. Skates were heavy and poorly constructed in comparison. Padding was heavy and offered little protection. Sticks were night and day. You can't compare eras because technology makes them incomparable. It's like trying to compare the golf greats versus today's players. You just can't because of technology.
