Embrace The Spectacle Of Stupid Fun Hockey Barry Petchesky -2
The Vegas Golden Knights' 6-4
win over Washington in Game
1 of the Stanley Cup final was
something we've literally never
seen before. It was just the
third game in NHL playoff history, and the first ever in the
finals, to feature four lead
changes, as the Knights and
the Capitals slugged it out,
trading goals until Vegas's
fourth line dominated the third. It was back-and-forth action,
requiring in viewers the lateral
eye movement of a tennis fan,
and it was often sloppy. There
were defensive breakdowns,
rebounds and screens and deflections galore, and goals,
goals, goals. And it was fun. "Lot of up and down," Nate
Schmidt said. "A lot of times
you feel like the game is going
in one direction and then they
score and we score. A lot of
emotion. It was a pretty emotional game for
everybody." Source:Deadspin
