Your potential ROY played so bad he played himself off the top line in game 2 [“It wasn't my best game,” Ryan admitted. “Pucks kind of died on my stick. That happens, but when that happens, you have to contribute in other ways. I never really found a way to do that.]
Selanne failed to show up in game 2 and that's beginning to be a habit for him.
Wings are just warming up. Ducks spent a lot in the Sharks series.
You could be right but I think this was a coaching move that was trying to cover for the selanne line not producing. Emminger *sp or whatever his name is got hit and didn't look the same the rest of the game. I think Ryan was moved down to try and produce some scoring.
