from Mark Hermann of Newsday,
Thinking back a decade or so, Guerin said, “The game was a little more carefree. Now there’s a lot more at stake. There’s more money at stake for the players, a lot more money at stake for the owners, for the coaches, for everybody. You see guys backchecking like crazy. Every game is important now. Now, if you have a bad stretch in November, your season could be over.”
Devils forward Bobby Holik, who debuted with the Hartford Whalers in 1990, said the league still is growing into its new offense-first era. He is happy that tight-fitting jerseys are gone and physical play is making a comeback.
