An interesting stat was mentioned yesterday during the Panthers/Caps game.
After 4 games, The Flames and Avs were tied for first in the playoffs for having 149 of their shots being blocked or missing the net. Sometimes players just miss because of bad aim or whiffing, but usually it is because the lane is blocked and they just want to get some bounces.
It's a pretty good measurement of what we have all been witnessing. Dallas's game plan is to just get in front of everything. That has to wear down a team over time.
