The second goal was directly from a block as well, but that was just a poor play by Jordie Benn and he should've known not to shoot there. But this is shaping up to be a good series as expected.
It's funny, I was going to reply to you earlier saying I had no affiliation to Dallas. But yeah that's not true anymore haha. They've been bumped into my top 5 teams probably. I really like watching them play. But that doesn't mean I won't be fair (I legitimately thought/think they can take this series).

That game was theirs for the taking honestly. The ducks looked flat for thirty minutes straight. I think that Dallas has some nice pieces but I like the Ducks to take this series. As bad as they looked late in the game, The ducks should be able to handle them nicely. They need to match up Getzlaf and Perry on Seguin/Benn every chance they get. They strayed from doing so in the 3rd period and it was detrimental to their success. The Playoffs are shaping up to be alot of fun to watch this year. Looking forward to the sharks/kings game tonight. Should be a very physical and entertaining game. Also eager to see what the depleted Blues can do with Chi-Town. I'm expecting Chicago to win due to Oshie and Tarasenko playing limited minutes but we'll see. Great start to the playoffs regardless of what happens tonight.
