My lukewarm take: on a game in, game out basis, the current era (starting around 2017/18) is the 2nd most entertaining in the 44 years I've been following the NHL.

Here's how I'd rank them:

1. The Golden Years (1986-1994)

2. The McDavid/Matthews Era* (2017-present)

3a. The "New NHL" (2005-2017)

3b. The Great Gretzky (1979-86)

5. The Dead Puck Era (1995-2004)

*A better name will present itself in time
I was also looking at the top 10 point getters. This would also be the first time we've had back to back seasons where everyone in the top 10 has at least 100 points since most of the 80s until the 90/91 season.

This is absolutely what you want in the league. Can you believe 14/15 didn't even have a single guy over 90 points!?
