"Point being: a tough schedule is the perfect time to convince Nill he needs to do something drastic…or that Dallas is a real contender, and might only need tinkering, if that."
I agree, but that's only a fraction of the equation. In the PO you play against the same team in a 4 by seven serie. And, the deeper you get, the stronger the opposition. Last year, our D Corps was OK for the Wild, but we saw that it was barely strong enough for Seattle and surely not up to the challenge against Vegas.
They say that we are aiming for the Cup? Then, they need to show us that they mean it.
Somebody asked about Robo’s production. Well from my observation is he is a great shooter when he puts the puck on goal which is only about 1 or 2 shots out of 10. Nobody hits more glass or boards beside the net then Robo. Put the puck on net if you want to score not off the glass

It sure was fun watching Hak, Suter, and Hanley get caved in while Nils got to sit and play candy crush.

Interesting perspective.
Take a look at the number of blocked shots. I believe that has dropped off…
Our PK is definitely not where it was 12 games sgo. Who has changed?
What has happened to Robertsons production?
