Definitely not big bad Bruins. I think that ended when St. Louis out hit them, basically beat them at their own game, and won the cup on Bruin's ice. They're not soft or anything, but only McAvoy really delivers the bone crushing checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme all the scoring chances and less clutching/grabbing/scrums.  Give me all the goals. What allowed the NHL to grow into non hockey areas and expand to become what it is was offense, not the intentionally negative play of the Devils and the clutching and grabbing garbage. People want to be entertained. Holding isn't entertaining. Goaltending CAN be entertaining but only when it's foiling high quality chances. When it's just covering up the puck on a wrister from the point it's boring. Goal scoring, speed and skill is fun to watch. It's always fun to watch and it can be just as tense as a 1-0 game. A one goal game is a one goal game whether it's 1-0 or 6-5. What's usually more fun to watch in between? In all but the rarest of exceptions it's the 6-5 game so let's have those.

The Nashville Colorado game had few goals but was pretty intense and a good game I thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eulers were trying to get extra practice time in. The rink crew didn't give them any more time than they were officially alloted. Don't see a big issue w/ it & it isn't the 1st, nor the last, time this has / will happen.

Claude Balls Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) How do all these teams find 3rd and 4th string goalies that are way better than anything Buffalo has had in years? It's amazing how inept the Sabres have been at finding a capable tender for so long. So many of these teams just seem to keep pooping out goalies like a playdough factory.

Kings management would be pretty ticked if the Eulers win game 3 off a weird bounce off the boards that those guys were ready for because of extra time on the rink learning nuances.
