Ducks need help...my opinion

First of all Mike Babcock needs to shake things up. Team have picked up what the Ducks did last year and now that must be changed.

Chistov needs a playmaker at center and Rucchin centering he and Lopul is a start...Lopul looked good tonight in the loss and unfortunely Pahlsson needs to get away from those 2.

The top line of Federov- Prospal and Sykora also should ignite some engines. Sykora who has been floating may get energy and these 2 lines should be much more creative. Pahlsson - R.Niedermayer-McDonald can make up a good 3rd line while 4th line to me doesn't matter as long as Krog is there to be used as a specialist on faceoffs.

D pairings: Ozolinsh with Simpson, Vishnevski with Salei and Havelid with Sauer would be my adjustment. I would also start Giguere for the next 20 games straight because they'll need it.

Go Ducks go!!!!

I think the Chistov-Pahlsson-Lupul line was pretty good...i don't see changing up the lines as a big solution here...the Sykora-Federov-Prospal line has already been tried...Im sure Babcock will try different things though...Were so close to breaking out and scoring some goals...Bostons not a great defensive team...I see us getting some goals sunday.

Seems like the Ducks are getting enough chances. We just can't put the puck in the net. It's frustrating as hell.
