The mods arr more strictsThis year's first round is completely devoid of any nastiness or hatred. No rivalries, no fights, no anger... Maybe it's the playoff format, maybe it's the phasing out of fighting and violence, I'm not entirely sure... but that magical element that makes the Stanley Cup playoffs the best show on television has been glaringly absent so far in the first round. This no longer feels like the playoffs I'm used to, anybody else feel the same?
I've noticed that as the playoffs have gone on in the first round their defensive games have gone through the roof. Scoring has dropped like a rock.
The coaches will be happier as a pig in shit. The defensive purest fans as well.
It's unfortunate that hockey when played at its best becomes somewhat less entertaining. The games are fast, close, intensely checked. But the problem is nothing really happens.
Team goes down ice. gets a shitty scoring chance trying to shoot through 5 players. Other team comes back .. gets a shitty scoring chance at best trying to get it through 5 players.
How many lead changes have this playoffs yielded? It seems to be back to that first goal wins mentality when watching.
It's not a fault of a team, player, coaches etc. I think it's an existential issue with the game. The harder and more detailed the players play.. the less entertaining it is from the fans perspective imo. The games are close.. but 90% of the time your watching it's hoping that outside shot from a bajillion miles away doesn't deflect in. Maybe it's lack of plays because when all the players are detailed there's just none to be had. So it's prayer shots.
God I can only hope so, although I thought Toronto vs Boston would be quite a bit nastier considering the history and rivalry between those teams.After tonight, think Boston Florida might be everything you’re looking for.
