The players today are just so unbelievably skilled its amazing. The game is so FAST, so much more finesse, the hands on the young guns is simply amazing. Back in the 70s-80s it was truly a different game! Just a physical grind it out type of game. Tough tough tough guys ALL of them. Bobby Clarke is my all time favorite Flyer from that time.
He was a lot of peoples favourite.
He is an icon forever in Philly.

People were way tougher back in the day.
Pitchers used to pitch 9 innings.
Hockey players would get hit in the mouth with the puck and lose teeth and be back out for the next shift.
Basketball players would use their elbows as weapons.
Now we have shit like Sunshine with jealous posts on BMR.
