Obviously didn't watch many games back then did you. Yes Semenko was on the roster. But he didn't play much with Gretzky.

players back then were always asked why they didn't hit Gretzky, and the common reply was "they are trying to but cant because he is elusive" The answer I cant ever remember hearing is " because if I do Cement head will get me"

Pavel Datsyuk. 5'11" 195 and still dominates in todays game without having an enforcer protect him.

Yeah, as I said, it's a combination of BOTH.

"I guess you didn't watch many games...blah blah blah..." I get really tired of stupid comments like this though. I was in the players' wives section MOST games throughout the 70s and 80s and I played with many of the players in the league in the 90s....so yeah, maybe I didn't WATCH them...I was on the f'n ice kid.

The game is VERY different today because of these accountability issues. Answer my this then smart guy: Why is David Desharnais in the NHL and Colton Orr not?

I had already guessed that. Just pointing out you're too cowardly to admit it.

It's usually Leaf fans that spout poop without ever considering things like cap management, asset management, business side etc....

Please don't include this joker in your opinion of ALL Oiler fans. He's talking directly out of his aarse today for some reason...normally not so bad actually.
