like the 94 canucks were way more exciting that the 2011 team.
It's not so much being older, I think it's probably (at least in some cases) more being younger back then and less jaded.

Someone once asked Ken Dryden when he considered the "Golden Age of Hockey" to be. He said it's whenever you're 12 years old. I forget his exact words but he elaborated by pointing out that at that age, you're old enough to understand the rules and tactics of the game but you're still young enough to be totally in awe of the players. As time goes by and you start making your own mark in life, sports can start to lose the lustre they held in one's youth.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.
