Pre-Ottawa focus on Defense
Blue & Gold (of Buffalo) —
... According to James Mirtle, the Sabres have the oldest defense in the league, with 32.1 being the average age. Granted Numminen throws off these numbers significantly. Still I don't feel as if this is a bad thing, having a more veteran presence on defense like Buffalo has this year with Teppo and Rivet has so far looked to be a good thing. ...

... : 1 Red Wings [last week] 4 Losing Johan Franzen is a blow, but Marian Hossa is starting to catch fire and the Red Wings are again looking like the Red Wings. Detroit's next four are on the road, where it hasn't lost this season. The Red Wings also rank first on a list cobbled by James Mirtle--as in the lightest team in the league, at 196.8 lbs. The Wings are also the league's oldest team, but they embody the saying about, "Old age and treachery," don't they?

... Only Anaheim and Detroit are ahead and break the 30 year plateau. That's actually not some bad company to keep with as both teams have been fairly successful in recent years. Also, based on what he found out today, that the Devils may stand to gain a few pounds, particularly on defense. OK, it doesn't have too much to do with Bergfors or Halischuk. It's just some interesting demographic information. ...

Examining San Jose goals scored in front of the net, shot charts, and player ratings over 12 games
Sharkspage San Jose Sharks NHL hockey and local sports blog —
... 26 of 42 goals scored by San Jose this season were scored in front of the net, 11 of them on rebound opportunities. There will be obstacles and dry spells throughout a marathon 82 game NHL season, but Sharks head coach Todd McLellan is building an offense that takes advantage of the largest lineup in the NHL (213.5 pound average). He is also priming the offense's ability to score garbage goals in the playoffs when gaps close and the intensity is raised. ...
San Jose vs. Anaheim: A First Round First Look

... rely on stickhandling and passing to produce scoring opportunities.
It's not the same style that won them the Cup in 2007. This isn't to say that the new Ducks team doesn't have enough skill to scare me (or lacks physicality)- they most definitely do. However, as we saw in the first game of the season (my oh my we're taking a trip through memory lane here), a Sharks team dedicated to the forecheck can impose their will on Anaheim.
I guess being one of the biggest teams in the league will do that for you.
