That was never my impression.  Maybe I just sat through to many second games
where one team started down four or five goals and was not in it at all.  And
if you like offensive hockey, these games weren't for you.  It's amazing how
much air can be taken out of a frozen piece of vulcanized rubber if one team
really wants to.
