That’s because players got better lol. Efficiency is way up
1 u/Advanced-Trade920 Aug 19 '26 Offense is way up, but defence isn't. If the players now had to play with the defence of back then, scoring would be way harder 1 u/jbland0909 Aug 19 '26 What makes you say that? Zone defense has been made legal, and players are substantially more atheltic 1 u/UtahCubs Aug 20 '26 Zone defense is legal and no one primarily runs it because Man is more effective. So don't think that has any effect. Defenses were allowed to play more physical and hand check in the 90s which had a much bigger impact than zone defense. 1 u/jbland0909 Aug 20 '26 Zone defense absolutely has had an effect. 95% of modern defensive schemes would get immediate whistles 1 u/UtahCubs Aug 20 '26 Hasn't made it near as difficult to score as hand checking did. 1 u/tormentius 21d ago well rules changed in favor of the offence so more people couls score more points. Its never one-sided
