Dal = less travel, easier team, more likely to be a shorter series which = less likelihood of injury which = playoff longevity.
It's not about being afraid of CHI (or ANY team for that matter). I'm 100% confident we'll beat them and shake the demons. The fact is, in every sport, every single athlete looks for some type of competitive edge. Read the above paragraph for a few examples of the competitive edge the Canucks would gain from playing Dal vs. Chi.

Dallas is less travel than Chicago? I'm not saying you're wrong or right, but I thought CHI is closer. I agree and disagree with you. Yeah my first statement is pretty dumb as I look at it again, but you can't necessarily predict that DAL would be a shorter series vs playing CHI. Yes we did run them over in the regular season, but playoffs is different than regular season.

I agree, but any team can be deemed a weaker team, but still push you to 7 games.
