So it ends for our Ducks 39-32-11 89pts 11th place in the NHL West. It's disappointing yet frustrating it ends in such a way that, definitely not what Ducks and we all envision this season to be. Up and down season, questions of where Ducks go from here is full of questions in this long offseason in f5 years. Status of two of our team's veteran leaders,improving Defence Corps,what to do with Draft Picks,Re-signing of important players remains to be answer when NHL draft and Free agent frenzy rolls around. If there is one sliver lining to take out of this season it's knowing our Ducks got too complacent at times during the season. Lack of urgency was a cause for concern for many including myself on why Ducks were not able at times to finish off their rivals and enemies during 82 games.
Yet with all that has happen things happen for reason in regards to Ducks strengths and their Collective will to succeed. It's true they fell short and failed, but to say this is a worst season is disagreeable at best. 09-10 by far is tough in resolve of support for the Ducks.......It was tough to see Ducks in my eyes lose two games before i left back home to Halifax. It's tough knowing Ducks lost to Pacific Division Rivals they dominated over years past. By far it came down to strategy and Gameplan that needed to be adapt to a everchanging NHL Environment.
Ducks have it all Players,Tools and need to succeed. So far it did not come to fruition. RC's Absurd goalie rotation in the first 15 games really did not do well for Ducks Goaltending tandem. Also morale among those in Ducks Nation was low that many wanted to tank this season.....I refuse to beleive it was best Ducks should GIVE UP then Fight on. Yes I am optimist and what really angers me is the notion this team went from "Champs to Chumps" is foolish and absurd at best.
Juggling of the lines and rise of many within Ducks system gave way to what seems like a learning experince. It gives those who are our team's next generation a chance to shine and soon inherit what is mantle of Ducks system of Hockey. First thing's first repairing Ducks system must start with Defence and work it's way towards Forwards position. Goaltending is fine as for Coaching we may have to wait and see. Now Ducks know it's truly Unacceptable to play as they did for two seasons!.
