Because it is summer, I have been re-watching a few hockey sundries. Most recently, I revisited Game 6 against Minnesota, and man oh man, that game. It’s still, it turns out, way too soon for me to impassively watch that 4-0 lead crumble in the face of a 3rd period onslaught that revealed what happened when the Stars’ defensive strategies were put to the ultimate test. (Also, both power play goals were pretty no-chance for Lehtonen, but the Kari Pressure Narrative and all that.)
Anyway, I was struck by the contrast in eras as much as anything.
