Michael Griffiths said:So we now have a series in which both teams extensively play the trap. The problem with that (besides from a lack of aggresively offensive hockey) is that each game, and thus the series, becomes a crapshoot. Instead of being a game of skill and will, it becomes a game of chances and luck. Whoever scores the first goal in each game the most will probably win the series.
May the luckier team win!

Michael Griffiths said:Defense as well as an aggressive forecheck and great offence create dynasties though. Not one team with a quiet offence remains a constant threat over a number of years. Look at the Edmonton Oilers of the 80s, and more recently, look at Colorado and Detroit. I think the game is so much better when the offence is also brought into the philosophy. The game was meant to be about speed, skill, artistry, as well as grit and smarts. It's a combination in my mind.

The Duck's system is so solid that it takes a lot to force them into a bad situation. Mistakes by them are few, so don't count on lucky bounces going in your favor... or you'll end up as a notch in Michael Eisner's belt.
