Yes, but those players before coming to the NHL played on international ice, whereas the North Americans usually play to the NHL ice. It seems like a little difference, but it really does matter. As for the rule changes, this is not being officiated by NHL refs, but IIHF refs. You have seen the European officials allowing more clutching,grabbing,and screening than what was permitted in the NHL this season. Also, Chelios is a Defenseman, not a forward, and a 44 year old Defenseman at that....
Makes sense concerning the players backrounds, I did not factor that in
I can also see your point about the clutching and grabbing but I see the play as being somewhere in between the previous NHL rules and the current.
My bad on the Chelios reference, I gotta get the brain engaged here...
Overall I'm gonna agree w/ you.

Yeah. I quit watching that trash when they went on strike in, what, early 1994? Pansies.

I can tolerate college sports for the most part. I don't get into it to the point of saying, "we beat y'all or we've got the best team." Who is "we?" It makes me think they've gt a mouse in their pocket or something. I do get into high school football. They play not for money or the hopes of money, but for the love of the game.

HS athletics are a little too sloppy for my spectator taste but it can be fun. I will probaly change my tune if one of the offspring start participating...Kids can def alter the paradigm
