Was it a defensive gem,of course not. Was it exciting,dam right! The best part with the all the goals was hopefully some players got out of their collective funks. Did I like the 9-8 score well... a good 5-4,6-5 game is what I like best. I bloody well hate 1-0,2-1,3-2 games most are just boring and listlessI liked Bura's response in the post-game interview. Called it an ugly game for both teams and that we need to clean a lot of stuff. Did not appear like he thought the game was entertaining and just undisciplined hockey.

What's the reason for the bad defense? Injuries?
I said it before and it really seems to be an issue dating back to the end of last season - when this team scores several goals in a short span, there is an infectious feeling that runs through the bench and everyone wants to get in on the points and stat padding. The more they score, the looser they play and the more chances they take.What's the reason for the bad defense? Injuries?

It should be the opposite - when they open up a few goal lead, they should not be taking the huge risks that they do not tend to take then when the games are low scoring events. (I am not saying they should lay off the throttle, but they can't completely forego D like they tend to do in these types of games.)
I'd agree. If you like goals I guess you had fun but that was some bad hockey and some bad goaltending on both sides with numerous defensive lapses.I liked Bura's response in the post-game interview.

Not me,even well played 1-0 games are a bore,2-1 and even 3-2 games. I prefer a wide open brand of hockey with lots of goals 4-3,5-4,6-5,7-6 and even 9-8 though that got to be a bit much but for the players trying to get themselves of a scoring funk it was the greatest. Love to see 90,80,70 and 60 goal scorers! Every team should have a 50-55 goal scorer to bring the fans out of their collective seats,you know a show stopperI have never seen a game like that! 12 goals in the first 30 min!?! It was fun for a bit but then got ridiculous. I'd prefer to see a well played 1-0 game than that mess. Good to see them establish a new record for goals and win streak though.

Peterson was escorted out of the building by the bouncers after that one. Wow.
That's the Allstar game I'm not saying a 1-0 is my ideal game, just that I want a well played game. I'm stoked that there are so many better goal scorers this year. I'm very curious to see how the east coast road trip goes. That trip will tell me a lot about how real this team isNot me,even well played 1-0 games are a bore,2-1 and even 3-2 games.

1-0 games are not a bore. A game not being a bore isn't about how many goals get scored it's about the whole game. How many hits, how many saves, blocked shots, maybe even fights. Intensity and effort. A great scoring chance and a big save is just as exciting as a goal. Good hockey is good hockey. This was like playing a video game.Not me,even well played 1-0 games are a bore,2-1 and even 3-2 games.
