We are all our own worst enemies.
Ironic as the Flyers (an expansion team) won back to back cups starting the following year.
People didn’t like hockey 50 years ago and they still don’t like it today, not sure there’s a way to change that
Context is important here. The author appears to be asserting that allowing Russians into the league is ruining things.
Think it would have been a bummer not seeing Federov, Bure, Mogilny, Datsyuk, Malkin, Vasilevskiy, etc play hockey at the highest level.
I think the headline is true but I think the modern league is a lot more talented and could expand more if they wanted. Not saying they should but they could accommodate more teams and not suffer a drop out in talent like it did in 1967. Today’s NHL could easily expand to 36 teams IMO.
Look at how quickly Vegas and Seattle became playoff teams. There’s a ton of talent in the NHL. I think there are more talented players who languishing at the bottom of the lineup and/or in the press box than there’s a dilution issue.
The paragraph about the US facing Japan in baseball before the MLB season is hilarious. At least the WBC waited until March.
It’s always been bad ownership. Stingy owners will ruin any team. Get enough of them and the League struggles. See the MLB if you want to talk about a set of bad owners. People here love to shit on Jacobs (most of it deserved) but Monfort is destroying baseball.
It’s interesting seeing spelling mistakes in old printed material.
“onwers”
Thanks for sharing this OP!
How?
Russian hockey passing the NHL?
Lower quality skill on the ice?
Huge parity gap?
These aren’t issues the NHL is facing at all.
This has always been a common sentiment amongst hockey fans and always will be.
1973 wasn’t 50 ye—oh shiiiiiiiiii
Words?
I literally cannot read or hear anything about that Big Red Machine team without immediately hearing in my head whoever played Lou Nanne in Miracle going, “Gold medals in ‘64, ‘68, ‘72 and ‘76?”
This said the article was 50 years old and my head immediately thought that this was written in the 50s…
As much as I cherish any opportunity to justifiably dunk on Bettman and the NHL front office, why do I feel like similar headlines could be written about many other sports leagues today?
my first time seeing the Philadelphia Blazer’s logo, lmao
Vladimir Palmerski lol. Now that golf is in the Olympics it could happen.
