New tech.  Just like more sticks break than ever before. 

It's not just hockey.  I have bicycles with 30-year-old cogs and chains.  Newer bikes a chain doesn't last a season of riding; to make a 10+ rear gear cluster work you need very thin chain links and there's not enough bearing surface on them so the bearings deform the links producing chain stretch.  But it's a compromise you make to get 3-4 extra gears in the back and save some weight.

Especially in the highest echelon of sports, equipment durability gives way to performance.

If two Canadian teams made the final, the Canadian team finally winning would end up anti climatic after all these years lol

And the year of the blown lead 

30 years since the Cup was last won by a Canadien team. Kind of shocking.

Toronto barely showed up for that game. I don't see either of NJ or the Canes giving in so easily. The conference finals will be a brawl if this is how this series is going to go.

The new tech allows for quick change without screws, so sometimes they come loose if they take a hard shot.

I never knew the refs can review for a penalty?   I guess I don’t know the rules.  

There’s a special allowance for Canadian teams.

These series in general look pretty meh they’ll have to win me over. What happens sometimes when there are big early upsets 

As the series goes on they start to hate each other and the intensity ratchets up, provided they are pretty evenly matched. 
That can draw me into it.
