1972 - People grousing about Fat Phil

2014 - People still grousing about Fat Phil

Well played.

That was the year they found Bill Barilko (after he won the Cup and he went on a fishing trip and disappeared in '51).

I don't imagine their fitness regiment was much different from anyone else, back then. Even in '72, team Canada's fitness level was was completely behind the Soviets and it almost cost them the series.

Have you watched those games recently? Tretiak outplaying Dryden badly (and Esposito a little less badly) is what almost cost them the series. Team Canada had more chances and the better of the play for the entire series.

TBH, It's been years since I've watched them. I do remember players commenting on how poor their fitness level was, especially at the start.

Hard to believe they could get worse after losing to Buffalo 6-2.


/at least they kept it under 10 (Oiler coloured glasses)

How they beat the crap out of the Isles & lose to Buffalo by 4 & Nashville by 7 is beyond me.

I was hoping the Preds would pull the goalie going for double digits.

You're a mean man, Canuck. Fun, but still mean.
