Stars Must Adjust

from Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News,
So, my guess is these conference finals will be called tightly, and the teams that adjust best will be the teams that benefit. If Dallas can get in hard on the forecheck, force the play into the Detroit end and get to the front of the net, the Stars will get plenty of power play opportunities. But, if they sit back and chase Detroit, they will spend the night on the penalty kill. And once they get on the penalty kill, they will be so intimidated by the refs, that they will not be able to hook, hold or cross-check Franzen or Homstrom out from in front of the net.

Why are so many people convinced that Detroit can be beaten by tough checking? I just don’t see the point. Every team comes in planning to punish Lidstrom, rafalski, etc… The bottom line is that you can’t hit these guys, they are too smart. And if they do get hit they know how to position themselves so that they don’t get hurt. I’m just sick of hearing how all the other teams are going to push detroit around. They sure looked like the tougher team last night. Kronwall and Drake outhit Morrow and Ott all night.
