Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 1983889, member: 297"] Inevitably I end up comparing hockey to soccer. 2-1 is a much more typical soccer score. Most hockey games have 5-6 goals scored per game. Each team typically takes about 30 shots on goal a game - that's quite a bit of action vs soccer where each team will only put a handful of shots on goal. Plus, it's different from soccer because the rink is so much smaller and the puck moves around so quickly. Low scoring games in the regular season aren't exciting, but a 0-0 game in the NHL playoffs is incredible precisely because scoring is more common and you know it can and will break at any time.
