Hockey players don't fight like they used to

A classic Bruins/Canadiens fight from 1970. At one point (around the 2-minute mark) Derek Sanderson starts trying to punch out Boston police officers:

Bench Clearing Brawl!
Into the stands and everything. Yeah, Hockey is just not the same. Go Bruins!
Ahh.. the memories
And they would all repair to the Scotch and Sirloin for aperitif's post game.
I remember watching that!

I always loved how Sanderson putting a cop in a headlock was announced by Don Earle as "Sanderson being held by two Boston policemen".
I haven't been able to spot him, but Ace Bailey is mentioned at about the 2 minute mark. He was killed on Flight 175 on 9/11.

The glass on the dashers was a lot shorter back then. The fans could peer over it.
