Yup, outside of a couple chances, Pavelski, Robertson and Hintz were completely invisible, and I wonder if it was because of the style Dallas played. All 3 players had career years, including 40 goal scorers, and they produced next to nothing all series.
To a certain extent, they seemed to move towards zero offense, go for lucky bounces and ride their goalie even if it meant allowing 60+ shots per game.
From the outside looking in, not exactly sustainable, but it got them to game 7 OT, so to a certain extent it worked.
