Dallas won't play scared. They'll just play. On the other end of the ice McDavid and Draisaitl will get frustrated early. They'll get burned out because they need to be on the ice more than 30 minutes per game since the rest of the team won't pull their weight. If Dallas plays the body on those two and does it a lot then round 3 will be a waste of 8 days for Edmonton.

Late in the Oilers/Nucks series, there was mention of McDavid being banged up and possibly playing through an injury of some kind, which wouldn't be surprising with how much ice time the wonder twins log. There's a s*** ton of mileage on those two guys, and I imagine they're getting pretty gassed and beat up at this point.
