    Probie didn't play favorites. He crushed Gretzky in the playoffs in 88 at the Joe. He crossed paths with messier going back to the bench, nary a word was spoken. Moose became a mouse. 😜🤪 Twas a fun night

    the people saying this is a penalty didn't watch any hockey from the 80s
    The biggest thing I find crazy to see is the boards and how much softer they have become... those don't move at all lmfao

      70s, 80s and 90s hockey was undoubtedly grittier and the boards definitely had less flex, but I think what others are pointing out in this particular play is that Coffey never touched the puck, so even though the hit was clean, it was still Interference. If Coffey had touched the puck, then that's a good hockey hit all day.

    Kind of miss the old days of "beat the living shit out of everyone at any time," but the way these guys skate in 2022 it just can't be that way. That's getting called in the NHL. That's at least 2 & 10 in school leagues.

    Coffey's shoulder pads are literally carboard. I used to use some like that and loved them but they don't offer much for protection.

    Always remember hearing that Paul Coffey became such a great skater because his folks put him in skating lessons (mighta been speed skating) with no hockey stick. Anyhoo, this was the hockey I loved 30 years ago, hardly even watch nowadays. Av's 7-0 over Tampa tonight, yikes.
