It's incredible watching their passing
Right?! How about those spinning backhand passes from Gretzky after he attracts 2-3 defenders? 🤯
take a good look..with the slugs that play today, you are never gonna see passing skills like this ever again...the artistry is amazing.
@@randallrhoads3271 we agree the Gretzky and Kurri connection was artistry... other than that, agree to disagree sir. 🤝
When hockey had superstars.
McDavid, Ovechkin, Crosby who? 👀
When Hockey was actually fun to watch
Aside from the lack of physicality relative to past eras, what don't you like about the current state of the NHL?
@@HockeyPlayersClub I played for 20 yrs. 70,s 80,s 90,s … I think everyone to big and fast there is NO room out there… I think it’s boring except for playoffs
@@sammyweed4771we hear that... then again, it's never been so fast and skilled. The evolution of the game is a constant give and take.
@@HockeyPlayersClub all the teams look and play exactly the same way now. They all still play a type of zone trap. Hardly any scoring chances. its just a jumbled mess now and who ever gets the lucky bounces wins the games. All the lines play like a third line from the 80's..no creativty, and thats why scoring is still way down.
@@HockeyPlayersClub whats with this so fast garbage??...at times these guys now are skating full blast...too fast. They over skate or simply lose control of the puck...if and when they do get a 2 on 1, they blow it almost every time. The games now go long streches without a QUALITY scoring chance..its a bunch of hacking and wacking in the neutral zone, the crowds are dead quiet. This all started with these so called "defensive systems" to stop teams like the oilers etc..and now ALL the teams play that way. maybe one team will score over 300 goals in a season...in the 80's , the Oilers scored over 400 goals 5 times and almost scored 500 one year. Couple this defensive systems with ALL the goalies play exactly the same, 6'6", giant pads, and you get a boring mess. Even after rules changes to try and open up the scoring, it still didnt help...i mean they actually allow 2 and 3 line passes now...if Gretzky etc had those rules, hed have score 150 goals a year. Need more proof that all the yeams play the same?....well, a FIRST YEAR EXPANSION TEAM ALMOST WON THE STANLEY CUP IN THEIR VERY FIRST YEAR!!...that tells you right there something is wrong. Sad part is, they teach this defensive trapping garbage at the pee wee and bantam level. Gretzky and all the scoring records from the 80's will NEVER be broken, and not even close. Hes had those records going on 50 years now. If theres say 10 games one night now, 6-7 will end up either 2-1..3-2...or 4-3, the shots on goals will be almost identical, its all very robotic now. They ruined their own sport.
