From a player's perspective it is also very different. Does anyone expect to see Canadian players actively attempting to seriously injure their opponents tomorrow? Because that happened and was well documented in 72.

I absolutely expect Matthew Tkachuk to try and injure someone tomorrow. If Crosby plays they’re going after his knee.
And who knows Tom Wilson could kill someone. The man is unhinged. But he’s our maniac and that’s what matters.
