I don't know if Dallas falls into this category but the problem we ran into with the Avs (which I was expecting) was they were just a bunch of young kids running around playing with house money. No expectations. Nothing to lose. They had a massive turnaround from the previous year. They were going to play incredibly loose and that's what happened.I remember all the Avs fans coming by last year with "hope you dont embarass us" and "we know you guys will win but we hope youll let us win a game" tripe.
And then they damn near beat us.
Reminder that although it's been better lately, our worst road record as a franchise is in Dallas
We're 13-25-0-3 all time in Dallas. The Stars are 17-22-1-3 in Nashville.Shocking considering how bad we are in Calgary. Or is that Calgary at Bridgestone?
I had no idea Dallas was 29th in the league in goals scored. In theory that should help our cause.

We have events at the arena Thursday and Friday so not much could've been differentI’m not a fan of the schedule if we go 7 and so do the blues/jets series they get 2 extra days rest

While I appreciate the fact that a Stars fan coming to our board doesnt want to be provocative, I think its pretty weak sauce to come over here and proclaim that your team will likely lose. I would be pissed if a Preds poster went to another teams board and said we will probably lose.
I have no problem with an opposing fan stopping in(if they feel they must) to say "best wishes, hope for an entertaining series with no injuries, may the best team win" but thats about it... edit.. see above haha
If it goes to game 7 that's a problem because we'd be playing like shitI fully expect to win this series. I just don't want it to go to game 7 in Bridgestone .
Fun hockey-wise, and good chance to build something for the winter classic.well, Dallas it is.
As I said in the OP, expecting this to be a fun series hockey wise, no matter what happens.
LA won a Cup a few years ago with about a 10% PP conversion rate in the playoffs. Having a strong PP is one thing, scoring on the PP when it matters situationally is more important. Arvy's goal last night is a perfect example of that.
