Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5649620, member: 405"] I think you're exaggerating a bit as to how many goals they score in hockey. I have never seen an NHL game with 15 goals, let alone 10. I'll give you 5 or 6 is somewhat common, and yes there are more shots than soccer, there are games with more than 10 goals, and that they are scoring a lot more now than they were when I was a fan back in the 70s and 80s, but how many are good shots, versus taking a slapshot from the blue line? Edit: As I look at recent NHL scores, yes you are right. They score like crazy now. It wasn't like that as recently as the 90s, the last time I was paying attention to the NHL. [/QUOTE]
