Sounds easy, but with Chris Pronger and Scott Neidermayer meeting them at the blueline most of the game, it was a formidable task, even for the likes of the speedy Gaborik. The Ducks were superb at taking away time and space. Unfortunately, dump and chase may have been the adjustment, since they weren't able to carry the puck in without being checked by a bigger, faster, stronger player.

Bottom line,....the Wild were overmatched. The Ducks may win the Stanley Cup.

Me thinks a nuetral zone regroup now and than would have been nice to see. Simply try to draw that formidable defense into a potential odd man situation. Wild forced the puck far too much but a good pressuring club will do that to teams. Duck had too much manpower for the wild to handle and beat them soundly to loose pucks all series. Heck of a good club.
