You know they\u2019re going to make adjustments. They\u2019re going to be tougher on us, try to slow us down, so know that\u2019s coming. But yeah, (we want) more of the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anaheim was as advertised in Game 1. The Ducks displayed their speed against the Golden Knights and outshot them 34-22.
