May and Nothing Else: Burke Confidence in Rookies, Soph's |

Yo Yo Yo my Duck freaks:
Okay, so it's Brad May and no one else. Surprise to me! I'm not a big fan of bringing in May. I feel that the club has enough tough-guy types. That said, Brian Burke is showing confidence in Penner/Perry/Getzlaf, hoping that the rookies and sophomores don't run cold (which they did in most games since New Year's).
So...
As always, what do you think? I say it's a gutsy move, one reliant on faith. Will the rookies and soph's be able to consistently score? One line (Selanne/Kunitz (also a Soph)/McDonald can't do it all, as evidenced by the Ducks' recent 6-12-4 skid.
But, they're 2-0 in their last two. Are they ready to rock? And man oh man, what about those Sharks? Can the Ducks beat them with Bill Guerin?
Buckle your seat belts. Other than a couple of spots on the fourth line, the Duck roster is set.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
