[net.sport.hockey] Partial games

In a recent message, Carl Sgro mentioned that the Maple Leafs couldn't
play a full sixty minutes of hockey at a time.  I watch the Penguins
from time to time here, and that seems a perfect explanation of the way
they play, too.  They will look great for 40 to 55 minutes of each game
and then lose it.  The bad minutes are usually at the end of the game
but sometimes at the beginning.  Is this a common way for badness to
show up in a hockey team?  I'm relatively new to the sport, so I don't
have a lot of experience watching it.
