I started watching hockey in the early 70's and my best memories are:
The Broad Street Bullies-a mouthful of teeth between them, they intimidated teams. Ah, the Philly flu opposing players would catch upon arriving in Philly. Bob Clarke's toothless grin.
The Isles dynasty run. Bossy, Trottier, Potvin and company. What a squad-and Billy Smith-venture in his crease and he would make you pay.
The Flyers scaring the bejesus out of the Russians and the 35 game unbeaten streak in 79-80.
The old nasty Bruins in the days of Middleton and Cashman.
The Oiler run-what a group of guys in their prime-and of course GRETZKY-always with Semenko riding shotgun.
Ron Hextall during the mid 80 playoffs. Nasty temper and scary good.
The Oilers improbable runs post-Gretzky.
Clint Malarchuk's injury. Pelle Lindbergh's death.
Dale Hunter's cheap shot.
The Pens in the early 90's.
Patrick Roy's 93' play-offs.
The Lindros' fiascos.
The bench clearing brawls.
Fire Bettman.
