My friend had a unique perspective, as he had only recently became internet aware, if you will. In asking me what I'd been up to in my life, this site came up and we began a long talk about how much hockey had changed in thirty or more years. This all came to mind for me last weekend, as I ran into an old friend I hadn't seen in years. In my youth as a fan, player contracts were rarely in public question, hardly, with the rise of the WHA in the mid 1970's accounting for most of the speculation in the day. We all want subject matter to discuss and ponder, yet there never seems to be enough to fill our unsatiable demand for news.īut there was a time when hockey news in summer was practically inexistant, apart from the odd blip of major news stories. Summertime is often rough on the hockey die hards, desperately flipping the pages of newspapers or scanning the net for articles on their favorite team and its players. Leaps of imagination and doses of whimsicalness were employed in this.
While Carey Price's non-contract status thus far in the summer of 2010 has little in common with Hall of Famer Ken Dryden's 1973 holdout, a recent conversation with an old friend inspired this post.
