I can’t think of something witty for the title this morning, my kitten woke me up after five hours of sleep so thoughts are slow and staggered. Also, check out that new logo, I am so glad I don’t pay for Photoshop, because I suck with graphics.
As for the game this afternoon, I can’t wait until it starts. It should be an awesome contest in Detroit, both teams need to win but we all know only one can really do that. Ducks win if they play disciplined, physical game with plenty of forechecking to disrupt the defense. Make that outlet pass a little harder and have the second tier pressure take away the easy pass, create a turn over and drive to the net. Kind of like Perry’s goal in the first period last game. Detroit wins if Anaheim doesn’t play with emotion and doesn’t do the things above. Anaheim dictates the flow of the game, they win, simple as that.
I don’t know which team shows up, the Ducks have been so up and down on who they want to bring to the rink in this series, I am not sure they really deserve to win it. Of course if they win game five, I will probably think the opposite. Defense wins championships, the Ducks have that this year. They have the goalie they need, the cast of forwards to at least keep them in the running if a game turns into a shootout (not the one-on-one kind). Both Detroit and Anaheim have good transition games, but Detroit seems to be a little bit better, Zetterberg is rather fearless when he attacks Pronger or Neidermayer.
So lets see which team shows up, lets hope its the one from game one or four but with less penalties.
