I'm curious if scoring overall is down, or if it's just more spread out this year?

I tend to think that teams now run 4 lines that all contribute, vs the old days when you would see a top line that fills the net, and nothing coming up behind them. Which to me is an interesting development in a cap world; you would think that you would throw a bunch of money at your top 3-5 players and fill the rest of the team with plugs (or at least that's what some were opining when the cap was first introduced).

I don't think the game is any less interesting, that's for sure.
