What really shows in these games though is just how good the best defenders and NHL forwards are at defending too.
These games aren't low scoring and tight because they don't play together a lot. They are low scoring and tight because everyone is bought in and you have the best players in the world playing tight checking and in a structure.

And FAST. And not just fast from a skating POV. Fast in terms of the decision making. Any hesitation causes problems.
The ability to think the game at that speed is part of why these guys are the best in the NHL and the world.
