I've been saying this all the time.
If you score the first goal, you will be penalized for scoring it. If you're down by 2 or 3 goals you literally have to kill someone to get a penalty.
The NHL is super scared of ratings so they want close games.
The NY Rangers for example have played 13 consecutive 1-goal games in the playoffs.
