The first few minutes of the game, fun, fast paced, exciting. Everything else, boooooooooorrrrrriiiinnnnnnnggggggg.
Seriously, is anyone paying attention in this snooze fest? I know it had trouble keeping my attention, and im as big a hockey junkie as the rest of you. Screw the neutral zone trap, what we saw out there was neutral zone crap. No sustained pressure, no clean hard hits, nothing that really makes you “ooh” or “ahh”. Definitely sound defensive hockey (outside of the first few minutes), but you can play sound defensive hockey, and not be boring, hopefully we see some of that in the second.
Other than that, the inside of my eyelids look a-ok, perhaps I will reexamine them if the pace of this game holds form.
Anyway, here are a few highlights from the first…
