That's why we have so many penalties gained by different teams. Nightowl >8# Edit: And what you need to be aware of, is I don't get to SEE games often, and it's very very difficult to determine play-style simply by listening. I on the rare occasion get to see a Shark game, or a Penguin game, or a Duck game, but for the most part, I am limited to listening on-line, like tonight, because we don't have cable. "AHHHHH!

Too bad I couldn't stay up to listen to it, a) I had a headache and b) it was trying to storm! Nightowl >8# P.S. I understand that some people don't like certain teams, but isn't that what Hockey is all about? People pick their favorites and back them, for whatever reasons they are their favorites. "AHHHHH!

The big problem with successful teams is that other teams can tend to copy them which is why I think the NHL is in such a goal drought that it's in. The NJ Devils successfully proved that defensive all-out play wins Cups. The problem is that an all-defensive game sucks ass. It's boring. Hockey is a fast game. Who wants to see the neutral zone all clogged up resulting in no flow and constant dump-ins? Bleah. Even when the Leafs had their resurrection back in '92-'94, it was great that they were finally winning but Pat Burns had a more defensive system then which made for some boring games. I'm hoping with the success of Calgary, Tampa and some other more offensive fast teams that the balance will swing back that way. lister

I didnt watch hockey for a lot of years then when I moved here and they had a team I tuned in. Saw about 15 callable penalties in the first minute, that kind of hockey sux. thanx, bill Time for Lord Stanley to get a Tan questions, help?

Post #155,119 by boxley 5/14/04 8:22:09 AM Reply	there is a playing style called the trap which uses all those items all the time, the NJ devils invented it and the sharks emulate them and the league did not crack down on the officials for not calling them. It has ruined the sport. That is why I dont like the sharks. thanx, bill Time for Lord Stanley to get a Tan questions, help? [link\|mailto:pappas@catholic.org\|email pappas at catholic.org]
