Polemic Hockey

I'm going to the parade tonight before I head to Alaska for a vacation, but I wanted to discuss anti-Ducks post-Cup meme #2: that the Ducks win will cause teams to play rougher. That may be, but if the teams copy that, they will fail. Look at the suspensions, power plays against, etc. the Ducks faced in the playoffs. Most teams will get blown away if they do that. Not a good idea to copy unless you've got Pronger, Niedermayer, and Giguere.
