Conference Finals Preview
Anaheim Ducks Vs San Francisco Fire
The Ducks come into the conference finals defeating Winnipeg 4 games to 2 and the Kings 4 games to 2.

On the other side, the Fire have dominated their opponents, defeating the Wild 4 games to 0 and the Blues 4 games to 1.


Ducks Factors:
Defence will be key to their success. They'll need to shutdown the SFF's first line to get the upper hand in this series.

John Gibson will get tested this series, but currently hes 8-3-1 in the playoffs. He's faced 350 shots in 12 Playoff games this season and holds a 1.99 GAA and .931 SV%.


Fire's Factors:
The first line of Tatar, Nylander and Spezza have combined for 40 Pts in the 9 games played in the playoffs so far. They've been a huge factor in winning these series in dominating factors, and will be expected to keep on the pressure.

The defence core stays strong, helping to keep the goals off the board. They've only allowed 14 goals over the 9 games this playoffs and will be a huge factor to ensuring they continue the roll they're on.

Also we can't forget the goalie, Jeff Zatkoff. 8-1-0 this playoffs and has faced 229 shots in the 9 games played. He's still the top goalie this playoffs with a 1.53 GAA and .939 SV%. SFF's going to need him to keep up his career best performance to knock these Ducks out and stamp their way to the Stanley Cup Finals.
