1. Freddy Steps Up
After Game 1 I advocated for sticking with John Gibson. Silly old me. Frederik Andersen has been almost perfect in his two games, stopping 57 of 58 Nashville shots. He's earned the right to be the man that either wins or loses this series. Per Eric Stephens, the man is 19-1-3 since Christmas. Wow.
2. Lindholm and Getzlaf Dominate
We've heard it a million times: Your best players have to be your best players to win in the playoffs. Everyone knows Ryan Getzlaf is the Ducks' best forward, and by now it's also pretty clear that Hampus Lindholm is their best defenseman.
