I know you mention the line changes, and I'm certainly not criticizing you, cause it's true across the board. There was certainly not a pressing need to change up the lines - the Wings were skating dead even with the Ducks, at least on the scoreboard, through the first two games. But what a move Babs makes - splitting his top line to spread the talent around, yet keeping the power play lines the same. The latter move/non-move only produced one goal, but it was 5 on 5 play that needed tweaking, not the special teams. Also, I cannot say enough about the ridiculousness of Marchant being being the 3rd star, and/or Hasek being shut out of the top stars. Hopefully that'll just fire him up further.
