Embrace The Spectacle Of Stupid Fun Hockey Barry Petchesky -3

I doubt Game 2 or the rest of
the series will be like this. I
think there were real nerves on
both sides, with just about
everyone totally new to the
game's biggest stage, and that showed up in a disjointed,
momentum-free game where
just about the only thing that
carried the day was
forechecking and its attendant
chaos. "I think next game is going to be different," Alex
Ovechkin said, "and all the
nervousness, all the bad things
go away from this game." "Bad things" only if you're an
interested party, and on the
wrong side of the results. If
you like being entertained—or,
crucially, if you're a casual or
first-time fan tuning in because you've heard all about these
improbable Golden Knights and
wanted to see what the fuss
was all about—this was your
game. Source:Deadspin
