RDOilerfan wrote on Tue, 05 November 2019 08:34 | I understand why no one in Arizona goes to games. If that is the type of hockey I had to watch 41+ times a year, I wouldn't go either. Clog up the middle, most of the game in the neutral zone, dump it down the ice, produce very little of exciting, quality chances, hope the opposition makes a mistake.
I thought the Oilers were sleepy in the first period and a bit but dominated the second half of the game. I thought Kuemper was excellent, the guy is a freaking wall. I thought Koskinen was good except for the first goal against. Persson had a rough, rough game and he got sat because of it.
I thought the refs were terrible. The Oilers didn't lose because of the refs but the refs helped the Yotes play their game. Constant hacks, wacks, hooks and interference. Commentators kept taking about how tough sledding it was, being a battle, etc. Well if the other team is allow to hook, slash, hold, take guys down, that's what the game becomes. 3rd period, Oilers are all over the Yotes, Leon was almost horse caller tackled to the ground. You could HEAR the slashes. Looked a lot like a 90's game where it was a battle royal to get an inch. That isn't fun hockey to watch.
It was nice to see the bottom 6 guy like Haas get the goal and it was a bottom 6 goal. Traffic in front, puck to the net, deflects in. At least they got a point.

It was actually a pretty fun time in Arizona. There were a LOT of opposing fans though. I just think it’s the commute. I’m staying downtown Phoenix and spent almost $100 USD on cabs to get to and from.

I agree the set up in Arizona is great. My brother and I went down there a few years ago. We caught a Yotes game and then went to a Cardinals game. The area around the stadiums is great. You are in nice weather, bars and restaurants to go too but as you said, a pain in the ass to get too. We drove to the Yotes game and one of us didn't drink then spent like you did on a cab to get to the football game. My comment was more to the style of game they play for hockey. If it's a pain in the ass to get too the stadium plus you have to watch that clutch and grab, clog up the middle, suppress all offense style of hockey. Depending on where you live, it would be a long drive to get there plus you have watch not overly entertaining hockey.
