Going into a new series changes things, but it's better to go in with confidence than without it. Because of all their weapons, the Avs can throw more combinations out there. Dallas has to play like the best penalty killing unit in history to match the Avs. The key will be which team gets more chances on the man advantage. In the end, having 12 goals gives Colorado the edge because the Avs' kill has been as good as Dallas'.
Goalies are the best penalty killers.
This is going to be a heavyweight battle between two of the best in the game. Patrick has the mystique and the three Cups. Belfour beat him last year. Eddie got the Cup and got rid of all the scrutiny. There will be a lot about this matchup in the press.
