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!!!!
