I don't buy the "tired" excuse as the six games of the final series was played over 13 days which is akin to a regular season schedule. I do believe that nagging injuries played a role but honestly there's no way you can watch that hockey and see anything else but two teams playing chess in hopes of getting a lead and hanging on for the win.
