3 refs to save Ulf after he turtles. . . i’d of loved to see what of happened if they just let this one go and see when and if Hunter stopped 😁

The other thing about watching these old highlights people need to remember is it was perfectly legal to leave ones feet when applying a good hit back then. Back then was pre 2004ish. Back when Huntsy played it was legal for a defender to physically clean out the crease too. That's not allowed anymore either because Buttman wanted to see more scoring

The game was definitely different. I understand some of the rule changes for player safety. Like blatant headshots. I do think the league has gone too far. I have seen hits where the primary contact was to the chest or shoulder but momentum carried on to the head. I dont think those kind of hits should be penalized. Hockey is a fast game. A player can't stop his momentum during a hit. I've seen too many players get suspended for hits I would consider clean. Its a professional sport. Injuries happen unfortunately. It seems the league wants to hand out a suspension anytime someone gets injured.

Here’s a great one from a college game back in the 90s. i would totally watch college hockey if they ditched the stupid face cages and this happened more often
