Embrace The Spectacle Of Stupid Fun Hockey Barry Petchesky -5

"It was a little too exciting for
the goalies," Fleury said. "It
was a little too interesting." Interesting right up through the
final seconds, when it was a
defensive play, of all things,
that saved the game for Vegas.
Brayden McNabb's stick check
prevented Lars Eller from finishing, and after an empty-
netter the other way, that was
that. It's 11 hours later and I've
worked up my heart rate just
thinking about that game.
Goals are good. Hockey is
entertainment! The same
galaxy-brain take that holds Vegas's kitschy Medieval
Times playoff intros to be
uncouth and unfitting of the
sport tries to tell you that a
game like last night represents
a breakdown in play, rather than a wildly compelling
spectacle. Do not listen to
them! Because it's the finals,
and because Vegas's and
Washington's unexpected
success stories have permeated the wider sports
consciousness, there are a lot
of non–hockey watchers who
watched hockey. Imagine how
they feel. Source:Deadspin
