Analysis shows former Blackhawk Steve Montador had CTE

How would guys like Torres, Orpic and Cooke have been received back in the 80s and 90s?

Trying to picture what happens to a player like Torres when he runs Hossa and you have Bob Probert in his prime skating for the Hawks.

Cooke might not have been in the league in the 80's or much of the 90's. Too small not sure if many teams would have taken a chance on him. But he has been in the league a long time regardless so you never know. If he pulled the shit he does on someone like Wayner not only would have McSorely made sure it didnt happen again but the league would have tossed him. Depends on who he did his shit on. But nobody touched Wayner that was rule #1 by the league and by Marty and Dave Semenko ontop of that. People tried...oh how people tried.

Otherwise it would all be about retaliation hits. Guys like Orpik, Cooke, etc would expect the same in return. Happened all the time. You dirty hit someone you get dirty hit back. That's just the way it was for good and bad. Doesn't matter if it stopped the on ice dirtiness the fact is if you are going to give someone a hip injury then expect to have to deal with one yourself. If you like life long hip injuries good for you if you don't like em then it actually did make a player think twice.

Yep. There were way less cheap hits/guys leaving their feet to hit someone...much less the star players getting run/hit like that when you'd have to see Probert/Kocur....Churla/McRae...Grimson/Peluso....Twist/Kimble....etc. Let alone every player on the team knew they were going to be accountable for their own actions

The most violent, highly penalized era of hockey (and a time where you had to do a lot more than today to get a penalty) and somehow there were less players getting run/hit and less cheap shots. Unbelievable lol. I'd really like to see this revisionist history book you have on the NHL.

My lawyer has advised me not to get involved in threads with this topic anymore.

Your constant posts from the perspective of a giant pussy are making it difficult for me to maintain my high level of pumped-upness.

What percentage of hockey fans see that era as such a terrible time in NHL history like you do ?

I put that vagina on ignore weeks ago. Is his post worth clicking "view" or just more hockey pussification view points?

I wouldn't even h8 the guy if he made me LOL on occasion but he's just girly and boring IMO

More PIMS (that's penalty minutes to you) because there was more fighting. Show me some videos of players constantly leaving their feet to make head contact back then. Show the many repeat offenders.

Funny that people that actually played the game will tell you the difference but someone with zero experience has all the answers

For what it's worth, I'd run a elbow right through your nose and gladly sit for a few minutes, knowing you'd do nothing about it. And I'm sure you wouldn't have a teammate stop me....but probably actually thank me

I don't hate anybody and his posts are helpful in learning more about hockey culture. But man it gets irritating after a while to read through some of his posts - I now am reading them in eeyore's voice and it's not by choice. In addition, I fear that if I don't put him on ignore soon my T levels might drop to "average." Hard to get fucking pumped with average T.

Has it ever been confirmed what the cause of death was? I know Rex mentioned suicide which would make sense with the tone and main point of life after hockey Carcillo's video was making. At least that's what my guess would be and all the talk of Montadors depression.

They never came out with a cause of death, and the initial police report said "natural causes". So, who knows.
