News & Notes XLIV: Revenge of the Seth

[cptjeff]

It's a god damned slog most of the time in the postseason too. The high stakes and tension are really what makes it good.

Yep. The quality of hockey after about 10 minutes into OT generally is *terrible*. You're waiting for one great moment, which more often not comes because somebody is tired and makes a dumb mistake. So, of course, everyone plays conservative to avoid being the one who makes the dumb mistake rather than playing to win.

I don’t remember the exact number, but I thought I remember hearing most playoff OTs end in either the first 3 minutes of a period or the last 3 minutes of a period. Between those two, almost nothing gets done.
