Nevertheless, Vegas was the best defensive team in the league, so they are doing it right.

I didn't mean to say that as a hard fact or anything. But Dallas didn't make the playoffs and Nashville hasn't had their forwards and defence on the same page for a long time now. As for Colorado... They're defence is better on paper than they are on the ice in the playoffs. I think that's about the most polite way I can say that.



Vegas has that rare thing where their top 3 D are amongst the best, and their forwards back them up.
