Re: Tales from yesteryear - Hockey's Golden Years (or at least my college years)
Our team in 1980-81 had HUGE penalty problems and played shorthanded about 30 minutes per game. Big Dennie Poulin, Francois Bellefeuille, Rick Young and Doug Kimura all had 100 PIM or more with Poulin leading the world with like 190 !! Tough group who played it the old-fashioned way. Touch the goalie, get pummeled. Get around a D-Man get whacked in the ankle, wander in to the corner and you might get a stick across the chops. A style that vanished long ago, but worked very well for those great Cardinal teams.
