Really haven't watched these teams too much except when playing the Avs or on national games. Have they given up such uncontested slot chances all season long? Seems like it'll bite them against better teams.

I’ve never played hockey at a competitive level, but have a limited understanding of playing.

Along the boards, which player takes most of the toll when a hit occurs, the person hitting or the person getting hit?

I get that all hits are different, but generally speaking. Does hitting wear down opponents that much if you’re taking force too?

I’ve been told if you’re glued to the boards it helps absorb the contact and “ricochets” it back.

It’s really situational

Seeing a lot of the old "change after an icing anyways to make the refs have to sort things out and therefore negate the point of not being able to change" these playoffs.

Ah against the better teams eh ? The Canucks finished ahead of the Avs in the over all standings.
