Too soft. Talent is incredible but way too soft of a team.
We've seen time and time again grit matters and I think they gonna get bullied in the playoffs against bigger and more physical teams
Don't remind me.Dallas is deep af. If they get 2022 Playoffs Oettinger everyone else is f***ed
No need to get sensitive. Leafs were 100% soft in the in the past and they were called out for it too. This year they have completely changed up the dynamic of the team to fix itWere you commenting about the Leafs or Dallas? Soft? Really?
7th heaviest team in the league and 13th in height. I don't really see a small team here.

Seeing the leafs in the past is why Im comfortable in saying that the Stars are soft and I dont see them going far because of it.
We were also convincing ourselves by using metrics like "height" and "weight" for the leafs in the past. That doesnt matter if your team doesn't play a heavy/physical game. From the games Ive watched Dallas play, I havent see them play that heavy game at all. They're bottom 10 in hits and their game shows it
Also, this is just my opinion. Its fine if you disagree. If the stars make it to the Western Conference finals I'll happily eat crow. I got nothing against the stars. I'll be cheering for them
They have as good of a chance as any other team in the West and better than most. The only thing they lack is the elite superstar forward but depth is arguably more important in the playoffs and that's probably their biggest strength. Luckily, as an Avs, we've matched up with them pretty well this year. We'll see in teh playoffs though.
Otter doesn’t even have to be elite for the Stars to win the cup. He just has to be good/reliable.If Dallas gets 2021-22 version Oettinger where he single handedly put on one of the best goalie performances ever in a single playoff round then yes. He was not good last years playoffs though.
Elite Oettinger can win the cup for Dallas.
I disagree with the soft comment, there is no team in the league that will bully the Stars. I do agree they don't play a physical game however.
Carolina? Really? They cannot beat the rangers h2h in the regular season or the playoffs, and this year they aren’t even beating them in the division standings. Weird pick.I have the top 4 as:
Florida
Colorado
Dallas
Carolina
So yes they could win the West. But I’d probably rank a healthy Vegas ahead of them too.
West is going to be brutal.
