2329259, i think from a coaching standpoint, he deserves a ton of credit

who else would have had the balls to do what he did with their goalies? when he pulled guys in and out of the lineup, it goes good responses. i thought he tried some unconventional things and most of them worked lineup wise.

their kids looked like kids at the precise wrong moment (boudreau avoided using that excuse) and let's face it, their stars weren't great. again. on paper getzlaf had a really good playoff but in reality he made some dumb mistakes to let dallas into the series and didn't produce at key times against l.a. their top power play unit lost them the game in game 6, they were terrible. perry never got it going, i wouldn't say he was invisible but he wasn't close to one of their best players. i think they defense was pretty strong, both teams got better as the series went on in that regard.
