I don't think it's hyperbole at all. When you listen to former NHLers speak, a lot of them say they are given a bunch of pills just to get through an 82 game season.
Guys on spitting chiclets have mentioned it numerous times as well as their guests.
I hope its gotten better but not optimistic. Lots of guys who have retired within 5 years have mentioned it as well sometimes they don't even know exactly what they are taking.
