omg i hit my cocker spainial with one of those in 1974. i loved that game...so dangerous.
Mechanical cash registers. Cashiers who could make change without a cash register telling them the amount.
It's not as much fun though. Bobby Orr was a rookie when I started following the Bruins (life long fan). Phil Esposito, Derek Sanderson, Ken Hodge, Johnny Bucyk, Wayne Cashman, and the scrapper Bobby MacKenzie were a lot of fun to watch. Mike Milbury and Terry O'Reilly came later.
I'm more of a Modern Era fan since I started following the Flyers in the mid 90s. I've done researched some history though.
I think it would be safe to say that the helmet was an innovation that pushed the speed and physicality of the game; although that's just opinion.
EDIT: I'm not going to edit my grammatical error cause it's undercover funny to me.

I used to count change in my head as a small tactic to avoid boredom when working a register for 8 hours straight, and count back change too :gasp!:
Wasn't there a point where football players weren't required to wear helmets too? Or am I nuts?
The oldest photos I've seen had them wearing leather helmets with no face masks.
Goalies used to play without a face mask at one time in the NHL.
Credit Jacgues Plant as the first goalie to were a mask during regulation in 1959 (towards the end of the Original 6 era). He got his nose broken by a slap shot and returned to the game after getting stitched up with the mask.
I mean up into even early-mid nineties, not that it was often practiced, but I could have sworn I remember being a kid seeing the occasional brave/stupid player not wearing a helmet for a play or two.
Some of the veteran hockey players that started playing before the rule change opted not to wear a helmet. I don't get to watch hockey (especially the Bruins though I did see the game payed outdoors at Fenway Park
) here in Hawaii very often, so I can't say when the last year players were allowed to play without a helmet.
Sometime the helmet gets knocked off during a shift. I don't think you are required to replace it as that would put your team at a disadvantage because a player concentrating on replacing his lid could potentially miss a defensive assignment.

Or do what I do and pay 20 bucks a month for NHL Gamecenter Live. The feed is better with Gamecenter than the P2P feeds on Channel Surfing and ATDHE.
As a complete imbecile how is the internet in Hawaii? I wonder if the bandwidth is good enough to pull a 3200 kbps feed.
When my family first moved to the Big Island, we used to fly on Mid Pacific Airlines in plane like these
I flew in a plane like that in Venezuela a few year ago. Going from Caracas to Isla Margarita.
I just saw some of the BC vs. Duke game without any problems on atdhe.net. Thanks!
A strange entertainment choice, but there's no accounting for taste.
