Howdy Duck and non-Duck fans alike:

On Sunday, the Kings offered a lesson in how to take down this surging club. The method on display Sunday was to play smart, and stay out of the penalty box (the Kings did this for almost the entire last 50+ minutes Sunday.

The other half of the equation is, it seems to me, to go directly at Chris Pronger and Scott Niedermayer, too. Get two quick offensive guys in their respective vicinities (unless they're out at the same time, like on Power Play). This way, maybe one of the 2 top Duck D-men will send himself to the penalty box by gettin his stick up, or by not moving his feet.

So, in brief - 1. Stay out of the box; 2. Go directly at, rather than away from, the Ducks' top 2 D-men.

This is VERY SIMPLISTIC, I know(!), but I'm interested in what Hockeybuzz readers would do as a strategy to beat one of the league's hottest clubs.

CHIME IN, EXPERTS!
