This Dallas D is just atrocious with the puck. They can't make passes or plays in the offensive zone to save their lives.

If you pressure and pressure, they don't know what to do with it. They've got three options:

1) Flip it out to nowhere
2) Rim around the boards
3) Eat it/turnover

Even short little support passes guys like Lybushkin, Ceci, and Lindell are incapable of making. Dumba, too, since he's seemingly lost all skill he entered the league with.

They had better pray Heiskanen's knee heals in time.

Drouin couldn't replicate that shot if he tried 1000 times. I still can't even understand how he did it watching it in slow mo.. the end over end spin is really something

This is absolutely smothering by the Avs. 75% of the time, they can't get a zone exit. If they do get a zone exit, they turn it over in the neutral zone. And if they manage to get a clean zone entry and establish possession in our zone, they almost never get a shot on goal out of it. DeBore getting wrecked up and down the ice.
 
Gotta love that we have 4 lines. Bednar has been giving shifts to the 4th line against Dallas' top line and it's working nicely with Drury and O'Connor over 75% Corsi.

Dallas simply can't keep up with the Avs skating. They tried pushing things offensively and putting the puck on the net more but the Avs have closed lanes and pushed the puck quickly up ice to keep Dallas on their heels.

Feeling pretty good about our chances in round 1 right now.

Without Miro playing 30 minutes, Harley is the only one capable of making a good pass under pressure.

Ceci can do it when he’s not challenged by a forechecker. Everybody else is a disaster flipping picks hopelessly into the neutral zone.
