Do the playoffs get easier as you go? Doesn't usually seem the case...
The regular season series of DAL v VAN went 2-1 in the Stars' favor, but 1 win was in OT and the other by 1 goal (without counting the empty netter) - doesn't really show they are all that dominant over their opponent.
Both teams have strong depth on their rosters, won their division, and weren't the heavy favorite against their playoff opponents... somehow top seed underdogs.
I'd say Dallas in 7, but when you're at game 7 is anything really that certain?
