I don’t care what anyone says about today’s game, but 1980’s and early 1990’s hockey was the best because it had tons of scoring and enforcers were part of the game, sure goalies weren’t very good back then but that’s a different story for a different post.
Enforcers are now gone from the game with the likes of John Scott and Raffi Torres no longer in the game. Sure there are still Ryan Reaves and Brandon Bollig‘s on 4th lines, but there impact on the game isn’t like it was back in the day.
