After Dallas’ 5-3 loss to the Nashville Predators, Mike Heika asked Lindy Ruff about the underperforming power play. Heika even pointed out Dallas’ inability to score on the two man advantage to Ruff in the postgame interview.
Ruff’s response was interesting for two reasons. One, he deflected on the point about the two man advantage, noting Sharp’s goal at 5 on 3. Except the Stars had two unsuccessful minutes on the two man advantage prior to Sharp’s goal. With Dallas’ talent, is it fair to argue that they should have cashed in on both 5 on 3 opportunities?
