Alexander: Ducks’ identity is still a work in progress

ANAHEIM — Earlier Friday, the talk was about the type of team the Ducks had become and the identity they were forging, and coach Randy Carlyle’s description could easily be adapted as a marketing slogan.
“Blue-collar hockey,” Carlyle said after their morning skate. “Good defensively, effective on our breakouts, win the special teams battle, create a strong forecheck, don’t play trade-chance hockey. Very simple.”
But this is still a work in progress.
