Ducks Must Deal With Wings Talent

from Helene Elliott of the LA Times,
From what Ducks Coach Randy Carlyle was saying Saturday, it didn’t matter so much that the Red Wings juggled their lines in Game 4 to put Marian Hossa with Johan Franzen and Valtteri Filppula, forming an explosive trio that produced four goals and seven points in a series-tying victory.
As Carlyle saw it, the Red Wings could have sent out Ted Lindsay, Alex Delvecchio and Gordie Howe—average age over 80, though Lindsay probably still throws a mean elbow—and might have won because the Ducks were so woeful defensively, especially around their net.
That’s not an insult to Hossa, a dynamic winger who’s so intent on winning the Stanley Cup that he took less money last summer to play in Detroit than he might have gotten elsewhere.
“No matter who they put together, we know they have world-class players to put in and out in those situations,” Carlyle said Saturday.
