They just didn't look like they were skating hard as the Ducks looked considerably faster which shouldn't be the case.

Two things. One, people shouldn't need to "temper expectations" in a season when any playoff success........scratch that "the playoffs" were simply gravy to begin with.
Two, they showed they could compete for the last 40mins of hockey we saw.
We beat them twice this year on home ice as well. People should have some faith that the team is still in a battle, counting them out before they've even had a chance to hold serve in their own barn is silliness. People need to enjoy the ride instead of walking around like sad donkey's. This is likely the only year we will get to enjoy playoffs with no expectations so lets just have some faith and see what tomorrow brings. Next year, people are going to expect wins, so it's going to be unbearable enough then, why fast forward.
