We’ve battled all series but in all honestly Dallas are just the better team. I think that’s clearly evident.

Possibly, but look at the work he has put in.

He has been overworked and looks our only chance of winning this series.

Thats all I can say about this team so far.

Its like they're trying to grind it out. We're getting doubled up in shots, our physicality appears to have evaporated...but we're only down by one.

Its rope-a-dope....but done badly.

We don't have a bonafide top line. That's why we continue to spin our wheels.

BS! He totally played soft there, like he has all playoffs. He refuses to go to the dirty areas to score goals as well. Maybe he is scared from prior injury concerns but he is terribly soft with no battle at all. Fn Gaudreau has been more physical.

Dirty pick by Pavelski there on the goal, but hey it’s Dallas so it’s acceptable

Monahan and Johnny both coasting in the defensive end, as usual. Tough to watch. Monahan could get touched by a paper bag and stop skating.

Isn't that a textbook slash on Lindholm?

Yeah, to me the first line has been bad but Monahan has been the least bad.

Why has Lindholm just vanished as a player too I mean what is it, spending too much time with man-machine Monahan?

That was with a coach who could turn the effort up 2 or 3 notches.
