Disagree about being too small physically.
I thought that was a stark contrast vs. the last time we played the ducks. We stood our ground against LA and Anaheim physically this year.
Maturity and the mental aspect with a young team is still an issue, but no way did they play small. They were very much in that series physically against a bit tough team.
