But what does this even mean!?
I mean, other than “they played in such a way that defeated our team and we don’t like that.”

I think that’s a new, more creative way to say “boring hockey”
It’s lazy coverage, just toss it in the trash
If they want less boring hockey stop blocking our shots and let more pucks go in the net.
Saying “we know exactly what to expect but yet still don’t know how to stop it” isn’t the own they think it is.
Only after a shootout today, getting outscored 15-7 in 5 games last May.
I’ll never understand how watching a high shot volume team is boring. lol
craps fans realized that calling us boring after two decades of “do fuck all until they throw it to the guy just standing there waiting” was embarrassing them more than us, so they had to change it up a bit
so now they’re saying we’re not as aesthetically pleasing as two decades of “do fuck all until they throw it to the guy standing there waiting”
How about saying instead that we had an impressive high shot volume against a nearly impenetrable goalie. Give some credit to Thompson, sheesh.
They used AI or a thesaurus to come up with another term for “not pretty” to sound smarter or more inclusive or some shit
It has nothing to do with the style they play and everything to do with not scoring lots of goals or not starting stupid shit post whistle. The Panthers play the same damn system but they have guys like Tkckuck, Reinhart, Bennett and now Marchand. So they play “entertaining” hockey because they score goals or start shit which riles people up.
Which goes to show that people don’t actually pay attention to how Carolina actually plays since they were a top 5 scoring team I think for a while.
I said it before “We’re losing but you’re boring” is the saddest possible cope a losing team can have.
An outdated take that still gets thrown around by lazy writers (or could be AI considering the use of multiple m dashes)
THAT in the industry is called a “lazy writer” and it’s absolute trash
I was at that game, I personally had a great time. Was very aesthetically pleasing to me
Loving how the Caps lose in the most aesthetically pleasing way
This may come as a shock to caps fans, but I actually don’t give a single solitary subatomic particle of a fuck if they’re having a good time.
It frustrates me to no end that the caps are a well known shot block team that mucks up the neutral and offensive zones and people say CAROLINA is the boring team in that game bc they hog possession.
Why do reporters keep trying to say we have boring hockey? Our games are literally some the most exciting and entertaining games out there! Leafs are boring, Lightning are boring, Knights are dreadfully boring. Do they think it hurts our feelings or something? Or do they just have their heads up their asses?

Terry Funk ain’t need no mouthpiece.
Canes ain’t need no mass appeal.
They’re just not really a skill team. Seems like they actively discourage the creativity that other teams like Colorado encourage.
Canes hockey is a Frankenstein of late 90s/2000s dead puck era 200 foot defense with Tulsky’s high shot volume stuff sprinkled in.
It can be fun, it also can be really boring when you compare it to high flying more individualist offenses in the league. I think it’s ok to accept that.
‘It isn’t sporting! Play the right way! Line up and go into battle and die like proper soldiers!’
Wait that’s not hockey. That’s was the revolution.
I mean, shoving Ovi on a blue dot every shift and just trying to get to him to score. The very definition of boring, if you ask me.
So I was talking with my friend, who’s a Pittsburgh fan, and the topic of the hurricanes being boring came up, and i thought he said it well. Basically, he said the canes aren’t boring; they’re frustrating because when the Canes are playing the way they want to play, the game never gets into a flow. The canes are peppering the goalie, so pucks are either going out of play or getting gloved to stop play, or if you get the puck the canes are pestering you non-stop so they either throw the puck out for icing, or you get the puck back to your side and the canes defense stays on you and makes setting up anything difficult and the flow of the game keeps getting broken up.
UVA basketball was accused of being boring for a long time. They won a natty, so I don’t think they care.
Now we just need to win a cup.
We play very beautiful hockey. In the way that a chunky and dominant beat-down is beautiful.
Some pundits call our style of play “boring”. We don’t care.
Based on what they’re saying, the shot efficiency was low and that made it an “ugly win” I guess? 2/39 is pretty low to be fair, but I would hardly call a 2-2 overtime game boring unless it went on super long and I didn’t care about either team. It can also just mean their goalie is playing extremely well and big saves are fun to watch too.
This just sounds like a salty caps fan who wants to sound impressive with their big words. That’s my take. Congrats on the win disaster bros!
craps fans are just…crap. that writing sucks too.
