Its hard to tell because of the camera angles but it appears to me that DALLAS consistently cherry picks when play is in their defensive zone. It's like DeBoers is playing a 4 man defense in the zone set with the 5th man (fwd) having the OK to leave the zone early or be positioned on the weak side around the center red line?

MacK is indeed frustrated because he's always facing double coverage.

They shoot the zone and play up the wing. It is their breakout and designed to pull the Avs out of their structure. One or two connections and the Avs D will pull back 10’ which will be all the difference.

Avs bear skate like they can, should... stars cannot sustain. It is simple physics. So, do it men.

Yep, definitely not textbook hockey on their breakouts. Slam it around the boards and guys cheating to leave early.
