What Would the 1960-1990 Era of Hockey Look Like With Russians?
I look at this post and instead of imagining how it would break him, I imagine how a physical specimen like Lemieux would benefit from being forced to work hard (too hard, granted, but much better for him than what he WAS doing), eat well, take care of himself and stay fit, rather than be a slobby smoker scarfing hot dogs between periods (or was that Gretzky?). Basically impossible to stop, and probably better able to handle physical stress without breaking down like he did.
