The Best Hockey In Years

from Tony Gallagher of the Vancouver Province,
NHL hockey has been through a lot of changes over the past few years. With the clutch and grab reaching a crescendo just before the lockout, which some would argue suited the owners’ needs at the time, the game then changed radically with the introduction of all the tacky touch stick fouls and the complete freedom to go to the net without anyone being able to even impede your progress.
But as a long-time critic of these oscillations in style, it’s nice to see that in this year’s playoffs, a happy medium between the two absurdities is finally beginning to emerge.
While it’s easy to be critical of the officials, for the most part you’re looking at a pretty entertaining product for the first time in a good long while.
