It's not just that the avs are playing high, it's that they have a definite speed advantage in the top 2, maybe even 3 lines.
It's no surprise the avs look fast when they are spending more of their time skating against Monahan, tkachuk, Neal and Lindholm. Backlund is fast but not when he's playing 20+ minutes.
I'd look like Katrina lemay-doan if you put me out there against Neal.
