A lot of ink was spilt over the off-season about how the Ducks needed to change their system to play a faster game. It was hypothesized that the Ducks were too slow, but that it wasn't the players that were slow (with the exception of Corey Perry, whom it was in vogue to hate), it was the system they were trying to play.
Since the new season has commenced, there have been words spoken about how the Ducks are rolling 4 lines this season when they haven't in the past (or at least in current coach Randy Carlyle’s tenure).
