For obvious reasons I included 1998 cause of the lockout.

Both the lowest scoring timeframes in the last few decades. 2010 to 2015s highest scoring league average was 2.73.. with the rest between 2.65 - 2.67

1998 to 2003 had 2 seasons around a 2.75 scoring average, 3 seasons just below 2.65, and one season with a brutal 2.57 scoring league average. You have to go back to 1955 to find a lower scoring season.

I'm assuming how successful your team was will reflect which timeframe had better hockey for some. let me know if the poll options should reflect that since i can add poll options and changing vote is allowed. For now, I'll leave it as is.

Neither was a very appealing period, but the first had better rivalries between teams and also more interesting players to watch.
 
I voted for the 2010s. The game had evolved by leaps and bounds after the lockout.

The late 90s had bottom 6 guys who would be AHL replacement level players today, or worse.

Look at every 4th line out there today and you will find lots of those types still in the game, hell, Pittsburgh may have 2 or 3 alone lol
 
Despite scoring dwindling each season, easily 1998-1999 to 2003-2004.

Better rivalries, better playoff seeding, more interesting top end talent, better goalies who seemed more consistent, no shootout. Mario’s comeback at the end of 2000 probably generated more excitement in me than anything up to McDavid’s debut.

It’s not a nostalgia vote for me since I think the period we’re currently in right now is the best since the early 90s.
