This started more than 30 years ago in a series between Toronto and Montreal. Montreal had better puck handlers and faster. toronto's answer was to come back with four players lined up on their blue line to stop the plays. Montreal eventually gave in and started shouting the puck in a corner and send two goones to try and get it out in front of the net. Eventually all the other Nhl teams caught up on this system: much easier and cheaper to hire goones than talented hockey players. So this is the hockey today. Flip the puck in the corner and go get it. Not fun to watch if you have seen what it used to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
