Suspense is built through pressure around the net.

Even if you dont agree with him its nice to see something other than the typical cliches.

It’s when it’s all you do, hoping to luck into a random odd-man rush as your entire offensive strategy.

And can it with “you just want higher scoring.” It isn’t just about more goals. 1-0 games can be incredibly enjoyable. 3-2 games with a team like, say, Phoenix or Dallas, are often borderline unbearable.

When you upset the media like torts does their not very inclined to write rave reviews.

Because that’s all you get from BOS & VAN. I’ll take defensive hockey over that any day. Ratings this year were highest on record, so looks like maybe you should stick to watching MMA and UFC if that’s what you’re looking for.

Oh yeah, the Rangers and Capitals brought boring hockey to a new level. I miss Bruins vs. Canucks.
