SAN JOSE — The transition of the Ducks from a
once-elite NHL team that had clearly lost its edge into a remade
club striving to ascend back toward the league’s upper
echelon can be illustrated with a simple compare-and-contrast
exercise involving key penalty-killers Todd Marchant and Mike
Brown.
A veteran of 76 post-season games over nine previous campaigns and
one of 12 holdovers from the Ducks’ 2007 Stanley Cup
championship run, Marchant represents what might be called the
team’s “old guard.” A rookie in his initial NHL
playoff go-round, Brown is part of what could be considered a
“new wave.”
Together, Marchant and Brown led a spirited effort that stymied the
explosive San Jose Sharks on all six of their power-play
opportunities during Thursday night’s 2-0 Ducks victory in
the opening game of a first-round Western Conference series.
