Where has the respect gone?

It wasn't that long ago that you heard Bob Clarke say the biggest problem in hockey wasn't the game, but the players. They had lost respect for each other on the ice.

Amid the nightly head-hunting in the NHL - and among the Flyers - the subject of respect has arisen once again.

"You see these devastating hits now from behind, and I think the respect in the game is at an all-time low," the Canadiens' Christopher Higgins said last week in an interview with the Canadian Press.
