as a neutral fan, i haven't felt like it's been too exciting for the most part compared to the other 2 games so far. it's not just the lack of scoring,i know there's been a lot of shots, but i've been bored.
Can't dispute that. If you're not invested, I reckon these types of games can be considered boring.

I mean if you're a fan of defensive performances this is a great game. I usually am but I'm also a fan of my team not being stuck in a 0-0 nail biter so I'd really like Vegas to get one soon.

I normally agree with most of your Posts but in this I’ll disagree. It’s an emotional game and if some flair can energize his team and create entertainment for new/young fans then I’m all for it. So many of us complain about how there’s not enough personality being shown in the NHL.

Just my 2 cents.
I'm all about flair when it's earned, I just get bored of easy plays being reacted to like they were the most difficult plays ever.

The save earlier on Hartman, he earned that one... the one I was questioning? Dime a dozen freeze play after it was shot directly into his glove. Just skate the puck to the ref, don't flourish and make it look dramatic because you want to freeze it.

Looks every bit as bad as a dive on replay.

Now some memes...

Not saying it's evident in this game but part of the reason I very much dislike Fleury's type of goalies is the fact that they seem to leave themselves somewhat exposed so that they have to make that kind of a save on a fairly bad angle shots. Not sure if they are just bad at positioning or doing it on purpose. I think it could be argued that the latest save was just that kind of bad positioning. I like personality but I'd rather it's being showed off the ice or on the ice in some other way.

Yeah we both know that when the Knights get frustrated by slow defensive teams, anything can happen.
