Hard To Beat The Wings

from Darren Dreger of TSN,
There are a number of reasons why the Detroit Red Wings - the defending Stanley Cup Champions - remain the favoured team among the final eight (at least in my mind).
However, what’s more interesting as we embrace round two is the exercise of identifying how the Anaheim Ducks intend on dispatching the second of the top two seeds in the West.
Really, it boils down to three things and no, devine intervention isn’t one of them. We have more respect for the Ducks and the team’s recent history of success than to suggest that.
The Ducks intend on establishing a hard forecheck. Anaheim wants to force Detroit to defend in an effort to try and wear the Wings down.
That won’t be an easy task as Detroit’s size is often underrated.
