I was searching around youtube to find examples of Howie Meeker in broadcasting and I came upon this condensed game (CHI vs TOR).
It's probably the worst goaltending you'll ever see, but the defensive breakdowns are just as bad. This is garbage hockey all around. If I were at that game I would have left sick to my stomach. Of course I'm happy to see TOR win this game, but product is terrible. Even the broadcasters were saying: "Expect a lot of goals from this team". As they too could see a night of beer league results.
I know that our current team is not bad like this 83 team, but for those pining for more firepower up front (like the Mike Hoffman thread) heed my warning: more firepower could mean an ugly season where defensive details are put to the side. I am certain that with Jumbo Joe, Simmonds, Bogosian, Anderson, Brodie, etc. these details will be cleaned up. I really hope Keefe puts his foot down for the rest of the team to clean up their defensive play.
If you have time to see this condensed game check it out.
