Lots of old-time clips featuring the original six teams put to great music...what's not to like?

Real hockey.

Although I can't see the video. There should be an O6 division. not really.

Those old-timey goaltenders had to be the craziest SOBs to ever play the game.

I was a goaltender when I played and some of the shots to the head hurt even with a mask on.

I love the Gordie Howe goalie interference. We're still the best at it, Mr. Hockey!!!

Three thoughts...

(1) Awesome video, really enjoyed it.
(2) The goal looks the size of a soccer net.
(3) Players speed and skill level today are so far beyond these guys it's ridiculous (which is not to say many of them couldn't play or be stars today, but training, exercise, technique, and growth in participation/competition have clearly evolved the game).
