I saw an awful lot of turnovers and bad clearing attempts from calgary defense the other day... Dallas' forecheck really owned calgary in the last couple of games imo.

From what I can tell, Oleksiak has been playing out of his mind this series. His career stats seem to support the pre-series impression I had of him: a big, slow, lumbering (but effective) defensive defenceman.
However, this series, he looks like a young Scott Neidermayer, seemingly joining every rush (often leading those rushes), pinching, and then gliding effortlessly back into position. WTF?
