Marcel Dionne - 5'8" 1348 games
Henri Richard - 5'7" 1256 games
Ted Lindsay - 5'8" 1068 games
Yvan Cournoyer - 5'7" 968 games
Dave Keon - 5'9" 163 lbs. 1296 games (301 in WHA)
PAt Verbeek - 5'9" 1424 games
Denis Maruk - 5'8" 888 games
Brian Gionta - 5'7" 776 games
Steve Sullivan - 5'9" 1011 games
Maybe my conventional thinking is wrong.

I thought Pronger had a freak eye injury?

You can add Hakan Loob to your list: 5'9" and 178 lbs.

Could someone post where we can watch the games tomorrow? Will all 4 of them be viewable on TSN/TSN2? Also, will the USA and canada games both be on TSN, and not TSN2?

It looks like the Canada and USA games will be on TSN, and the Russia and Sweden games will be on TSN2.

He's got issues from post-concussion syndrome and he can't see properly because of the eye injury.

One thing to consider is that players have gotten bigger. John Ferguson the enforcer for the Canadiens at the time of the Pocket Rocket and Cournoyer was only 6' and 178 lbs. I like that there is room for the smaller player in hockey but we can't have too many of them.

Yep. Back in the 70s, the average NHL player was about 5'10".

Just before the Czech goal Gaudreau did a spin around backhand that was saved. Also had a chance all alone in front of the net but the puck bounced away from him.
