dallas support players are old and slow. that was the series
Oilers killed them with their speed and intensity. They had fresher legs and less wear and tear because they faced easier opponents in the first two rounds.
Joe Pavelski and Ryan Suter are both 40
Chris Tanev/Jamie Benn/Tyler Seguin/Matt duchene/luke glendening are all in their 30s
Roope Hintz was hurt(back injury)
Robertson was a huge disappointment…I mean he’s a 6’3 220 lbs power forward.. and the best scorer on this Dallas team.
How about using that massive 6’3” / 220lbs frame to actual use instead of playing scared? He was scared to get inside the crease area/slot and score garbage goals off juicy goalie rebounds. He was unwilling to fight or the puck deep in the corners and along the boards… He was unwilling to drive to the net and pay the price…he played soft
Can’t expect to win in the playoffs playing soft timid perimeter hockey
They were tired and out of gas after two tough, physically exhausting/demanding series against vegas/Colorado
