And they did it without 8 powerplays a game.

 

This league is becoming like the NBA where officials have way too much of an impact on the outcome. Biggest reason I can’t watch basketball.

Yeah but the goalies back then were not balloons either and had skinny pads.

The way the game is officiated is a big reason too. Look at Schenn, he hits someone too hard and it’s a PP for the other team. One handed taps send you to the box. Special teams win hockey games 

That benefits the Canucks too but can hurt them too due to their bad PK

And players could slash and whack and hold players with impunity.

 

That balances out the skill and goaltending.

 

Its pretty hard to argue that the rise in powerplays hasn’t contributed to offense.
