Also: No slapshots, no curved stick, no composite sticks. No 6'5" defensemen that could bench press a Mack truck and skated 35 mph. No professionnal goons that took boxing lessons. I like guys like Cournoyer but they could not play in today's league.
Rule changes post 2004 lockout is what really ruined hockey. It was great in the late 90s and early 2000s, even with the European soy players. Now the game is a joke. Defence is penalized and retarded things like 3 on 3 are implemented,m. All of this favours gay hockey and punishes hereto hockey.

Europeans are pussies?
Did you forget how bad ass the Red Wings were back in the late 90's?
European soy? That's quite a generalization.
Do you have your own opinions on this or do you just repeat everything that Don Cherry Says. I like Don Cherry, but he's just one guy with an opinion.
