I don't even find these games all that physical, at least not compared to the old days. What they are is cluttered. Clogged up neutral zones and packed near the crease.
Yeah, playoff hockey the last few years reminds me of the hockey being widely played in the "dead puck" era of the late 90s/early 2000s. Regular season hockey has recently been pretty good I would say, it could be better if they actually enforced the rules more, but its *significantly* better than playoff hockey at any point. Current playoff hockey is essentially unwatchable, so I don't watch it, lol.
