DALLAS - Dustin Brown laughed at the question, at the very idea of it, at the possibility that a reporter could have such a limited understanding of the game of hockey, of the nature of the Stanley Cup playoffs. During the 2014 Western Conference final, the Los Angeles captain - who was in the midst of playing 64 extra games in a 26-month span - was asked why his Kings were so impressive in the postseason, but so ordinary in the regular season.

DALLAS - Casey DeSmith, his legs already splayed in the crease, was fighting with all he had. There was no way he was giving up on this play, no matter how many Edmonton Oilers bodies were converging on him.

DALLAS - Improbably, almost impossibly, the Dallas Stars had scratched and clawed their way back into Game 5 of the Western Conference final.

DALLAS - Connor McDavid was stalking in the defensive zone, waiting for an outlet pass, a chance to make a break for it - menacing even from 150 feet away. When Jake Walman got the puck with time and space in the corner, McDavid made himself available while skating backward toward the neutral zone - still faster than half the guys on the ice. Walman, bewilderingly, sent the puck elsewhere.
