Just a question for veteran hockey fans...

[jwhite]

Are there ever totals listed under 5? 4' or even 4? Did they used to? Just curious. Thanks

 

[Greenbacks]

Never that low.....5.5 is low.

Back in the day totals were 6,6.5 and 7.

This is the Penguins season from 1996-1997

All totals are 6,6.5 & 7.

Thanks for response. Interesting...

 

[Bushay]

Yes..on occasion there are 4.5's posted. Not very often. Can't even tell you the last one. Within a year or 2 there's been one or more. I'm confident of it. 2 good goalies playing against each other.

 

[MSUSpartans]

I imagine you would have seen totals under 5 in the early 2000's when scoring was at all time low. Although the average now isnt much higher than it was then.

 

[Feddz]

There have been a handful of 4.5s in NHL this season, but haven't seen one in the last few weeks. You might see a couple in the playoffs too. Head overseas and you'll see a lot more, but the big ice leads to more scoring amirite?

 

[stale]

this is such a great forum

 

[Bruins4Life]

You will see some 4.5s in the playoffs.
