"I thought we played a solid road game," Dallas Eakins, Anaheim's head coach, was saying late Saturday night at PPG Paints Arena, this after the Penguins' collective defense dunked on his young, dynamic Ducks by a 1-0 count. "That's the type of game we want to play on the road. Pittsburgh's a disciplined and well-coached team. I thought we had chances to win it, but we came up short. Those sting."

Oh, I'll bet.

"I thought we played hard," came another of the other guys, Kevin Shattenkirk, an Anaheim defenseman.
