It seems that DAL has a bit more intensity or physicality going this game. Not much but enough to make difference. As GG has stated before CGY just kind of playing. They need to compete harder. Forecheck harder and make their forays count with shots on net.
The PP1 guys were the most guilty of this. Being out worked. It's evident to me from these guys in 5v5 play too
You can tell the PP1 skaters just want to make a pretty passing play into the back of the net like the past few games when it was easy, but don't want to work/use some Jagr butts to maintain possession. Have to do the dirty work to get the play they want especially when it's obvious that the Stars have been instructed to be aggressive on every Flame on the PK (done their homework). There's little space for the first unit and they're passing around almost waiting for the Stars to give it to them. Not going to happen. Gotta be faster and pursue the puck like bulldogs. They're not getting any gifts tonight waiting on the perimeter, will have to create them.
