Since the lockout, it is much more fun to watch again, but this year and last are standouts in the playoffs. There have been some very intense, free-flowing hockey (still with physical play) without all the clutch and grab stuff.
Ah the old Adams Division. That was fun stuff, even if my boyhood team (The Whalers) was the perennial bottom feeders.
I was humming the “Brass Bonanza” every time the Bruins scored last night...:)
