One more then Brown. He also had a better offensive year not playing a full season then has ever had. He was the #2 pick after Crosby for a reason.Quote:

Yet
Oh Pronger absolutely blew that play but Getzlaf was there and he saw that Cleary was waiting on the door step. Had Getzlaf tied up Cleary's stick or even put his stick in the path of Cleary's shot, instead of trying push Cleary out of the way, there's a very distinct possibility that Cleary does not get enough mustard on that shot to score the goal. I believe the Dustin Brown detractors refer to that type of play as lacking in hockey sense.Quote:

That's why they are great two-way players and why Getzlaf is a very good offensive player who likes to hit.
See Bandit. No worries.
The Ducks were completely outplayed by Detroit in that series and they were lucky to get to a game 7. Not enough depth on the Ducks to pull off that upset.
Yeah, "No worries." It just came down to being tied with 3 minutes to go in a game 7. Detroit had it in the bag the whole time. :rolleyes:Quote:

I can see Bandit's point but the reason your analysis isn't obvious was because of the goaltending from Hiller. That can make up for a lot of holes in the line-up. If their goaltending had been more King-like they would have been out in 4.Quote:
