The teams are differently constructed. Seems to me that really fast up-and-down hockey (which is what was happening at the start of the game) favors the Avs, but we're a lot bigger and stronger. Seems like the Knights started clogging up the neutral zone a lot better after the first few minutes to try and slow them down (before the penalties of course) and things started evening out better.

But the Avs just have so much high-level skill and speed, and I just feel eventually, if the Avs are healthy, it will wear us down. I hope I'm wrong.
