Now I watched it assuming there was going to be some hostility and fun hockey in a rivalry game. I was disappointed. Pretty lame if that's what's considered an excellent game these days. Easily better than what we see here.

Easily better than what we see here. I'd rather watch the Hawks win 2-0 than the Devils beat the Rangers in 3-on-3 OT. I don't know if I saw a single hit being thrown in that game. And Trouba was playing, of all people.

I agree that the definition of an “excellent game” has switched. That will continue to evolve.
Removing physicality has dampened my own definitions of what an excellent game is. Most of the time, the nhl ain’t it.
Not always, but mostly.
My fault for my formative hockey years being the 70s and 80s.

At least the Hawks hit. They lose every game, but whatever, there's hits and action.
And for some reason they seem to win every single faceoff. #1 in the league. What happened to the crowd who equalled faceoff excellence to winning hockey games?

You have to actually know what to do with the puck after winning the faceoff.

What happened to the crowd who equalled faceoff excellence to winning hockey games? All the years they sucked at face offs they were a good team, probably. It’s bizarre they’re so good at it but other teams don’t feel the urgency to win the face offs if they know they’ll have the puck back in five seconds anyways.

The meaning of faceoffs is ridiculously overrated. Does it matter if you get scored on 5s or 10s after the faceoff?
It's a very tiny aspect of the game. You'd much rather have better hockey players than better faceoff men.

I don’t think Lari really prefers hockey players over men.

Any truth to the rumor that Lari likes to chaperone Boy Scout sleepovers ?

Robin Lehner’s exotic snake farm filed bankruptcy. Wtf?! Robin Lehner Files For Bankruptcy Due To Ownership Of Exotic Snake FarmThat whole saga is insane. It has snakes, tens of millions in debt, the same shady loan sharks who also got Evander Kane, and a murder. But it's all just very Robin Lehner. According to the public filing, Lehner estimates the worth of his assets between $1-10 million while his liability to creditors is between $10-50 million.

He'd have been better off drinking. Sometimes liquor is the better investment.
