105. The Ducks don’t really have to worry about being a disappointment until the Conference Finals, as that seems to be their MO. As far as beating up on the Preds in the first-round, you can’t sleep on Nashville but Anaheim has size, strength, depth and versatility to absorb the body blows that Nashville will give them over the course of what might be the most brutal series in the first-round. .
