In the playoffs, everything is defense and goal tending. Which is kinda okay, I guess, but it makes me wonder what the point is for getting an Ovechkin. Plus, if only one style of play wins (defense), then the games can get sorta repetitive and ultimately boring. The NBA had that problem with all the iso-ball in the early 2000s. Hockey sorta gets around that with the speed, hitting and close scores, which keep fans keyed up.
Like I say, I'm a very casual fan so I'm on...ahem...thin ice here. I wonder what puckheads think.

But they are getting hot and in the playoff hunt. Maybe we can be the brutalizers this time around instead of the brutalizees.
