I got paralysis from analysis. Lol

But, I'll enter the fray! I think the rationale - if there is one - would be that a 2 goal lead is dangerous because it's just enough of a lead that a team might start to sit back a little, but not enough of a cushion to really lock a game down.

But really, for our purposes here it's mostly just a joke. Lol

Oh I understand the joke value for sure. I forget what All Star game it was when one team went up by 5 but got smoked for 6 straight, and the commentator deadpanned about how "a five goal lead was the most dangerous lead in hockey"

But strictly speaking, even if you're more complacent up by 2, once you get scored on, you're now back up by 1 and should be in "one goal lead mode", right?

I guess you'd have to compare "percentage of one goal leads blown" versus "percentage of same where you were also up by 2"? Like if you blew six games where you were up by one goal, but 4 of them were games where you were also up by 2, and only 2 of them were one that you were never up by one? There'd be an argument.

Sounds like I just gave myself a new math assignment

I can't wait until 7G tech is unleashed. The fans will be able to recognize characteristic neuronal firing patterns 10 - 15 nanoseconds prior to puck release.

7G is so fast, google tells you what has happened next week.

Hackey is a great hockey name. Like a guy named Beisbol playing for the A's.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

On that replay, it looks like 55 purposely misplayed that. Can't be true, but look at it. It was that bad

 

[kanadalainen]

Damn... save of the century (within the limits of Manitoba and Sask)

Swimming hard but makes the save
