I can't watch this style of hockey, used to be a fan, don't want to give away my age, but I've seen so some of the greats play live, guys like RR and GH.<br />The less-violent Olympic hockey (we won the gold!) we saw was a much faster game, better to watch.<br />Best of all is playing yourself--if only.

He was a terrific sports writer, agreed. You've done a real service to those of us who love the game but are becoming increasingly estranged from it because of the fighting.
