Dallas deserves credit for being a tough team with a lot of playoff experience and some very good players, but it's confusing that our D has their puck moving abilities contained so effectively and easily.

I think the D are too slow deciding what they're going to do and by then Dallas has the forwards covered or it's a risky pass because the forwards are already in flight. So many times the pass across the offensive blue line is so slow, Dallas adjusts easily.
