When a coach purposely matches up D and Forwards, they match them up against the better lines on the other team, and they match up thier best players (offense and defense) against the other team. When the Wings play against the Caps, you can bet your ass that they try to match Pavel and Lidstrom up against Ovechkin. To say that Malkin plays with the better D, you just helped prove my point that Malkin is better than Crosby (in the coaches eyes also)
