I found the advance tracking metrics the NHL is using this Playoffs and here is the route Barzal takes for literally all of his shots,
The Islanders aren't boring

Because Barzel doesn't have the puck for 60 minutes out of the 60 minute game time.
Either way, I found the first half of the game boring yesterday. The second half was more entertaining, but also rather sloppy. But I don't think it was just the play style of the Islanders that made the first half boring.
Probably not boring if they’re your team. But if it’s Dallas-NYI final that might be the most boring final in a long time for a neutral fan.

Don't know how accurate or fair it is, however it still made me laugh!
They're incredibly boring. Effective, but boring none the less.

The Leafs have lots of issues but I don't think boring is one of them honestly. However your point still stands, hehe!

I'd love the Leafs to be this boring.

Is there a reason Komarov is still wearing the full cage?
Gotta be medical, no? I figured the league only allows it if he just had his jaw surgically repaired or something like that.
Just seems like he's had it for some time now.

Allowing one goal against playing the highest scoring team in the league for almost 100 minutes, pretty good representation of how defense is played. Trying to win by scoring video game numbers may be exciting to you, but it does not seem to work in the playoffs. I do not watch basketball, because only the last two minutes matter.
It came down to someone on one team making a mistake. If it bores you, watch basketball.

The Isles are playing Tampa very differently from the first 3 series. Against the Panthers, Caps and Flyers they played great defense but were also generating a ton of offensive opportunities (by xGF and HDCF) they also scored the most goals per game. They just flat out dominated with exciting hockey.
They are not doing that against the lightning and I think thats mostly by design. Tampa has just too much talent and unfortunately Vasilevsky's ability to play the puck neutralizes a lot of their fore-checking. Right now the team is essentially preventing anything from coming into the middle of the ice and the counter-attacking when they have an opportunity. That is boring but I'm ok with that cause i think that's the only way they can potentially beat a team like the lightning.

There's no such thing as objectively boring or interesting. Everyone has a different taste.
That said. Despite the fact that I love extremely defensive hockey, I can recognize that most people find it boring. And I don't try to convince them otherwise. Other than the Stars, due to geography, I literally pick my favorite teams based on who, I think, will play the most "boring" style, because that is most interesting to me. I'm a defensive coordinator at heart. But it's fruitless to pretend that that's a common attitude, or that it's the right attitude, it's just me.

Anyone can wear a cage, if they want to. Nobody does, because it's horrible.

no yeah they are super boring
Zzzzz......sorry, what were you saying?
That said, if it was my team still playing I’d be on the edge of my seat and wouldn’t find it boring.
