fromm Eric Duhatshek of the Globe and Mail,
...Because for all the people who argue that you don’t need scoring, just scoring chances, to make the game interesting, all you needed to do was hunker down in front of a see-saw 9-5 or 9-6 game to disprove the notion of that theory. The action went back and forth; and the goals came so quickly that you had a hard time pulling yourself away from the television set even for a second — which is the opposite of the experience you get most nights of viewing the NHL.
Here’s a suggestion. Instead of parking the tape on a shelf, forward it to hockey operations. If they ever decide to form that research and development arm that the Buffalo Sabres want to see introduced, maybe they can analyze what went right in that game - and take the necessary measures to see it happen more often.

As somebody who actually thinks that 9-6 games don’t share the subtleties of some of the 2-1 and 3-2 games that make hockey great, and really do become a “sloppy” viewing experience, I worry that the NHL’s very vocal media will prod the owners into making a change to the game that the fans may not want simply to quiet the media quorum.
