That doesn't make any sense.

You're saying that irrespective to the score, as long as it's a 1-goal, then it still qualifies as defense intensive? Huh? So if the final score is 20-19, we can assume it was quite the defensive battle!

When there is an intensive defensive game, one or both teams has essentially SHUT DOWN the other team offensively. You know: 1-0 in OT, 1-0 in reg, 2-1, maybe even 3-2 if you're playing a particularly high-octane offense, ie; the Caps. Hard to make that argument when both teams together are potting goals approaching or passing the double digit mark.

It really is the regualr season on steroids.

While defense may be more intense, it's only because offense is more intense, as is goaltending.

True, but don't hold me to anything I said tonight, I'm inebriated, far past what I should be.
