Ducks Future:Fowler,Etem and Etc

If the signing of Fowler that quickly is symbolic it truly shows Ducks have faith let alone confidence he can make it to one of the opening spots. Developing within is important to groom next generation of Ducks to inherit the role and continue legacy of success. Sure Stanley Cup Championship was 3 years ago but in moving forward it's time to focus on those who will lead Ducks to greatness in the future. it makes sense to me that in order to move forward Youth within Ducks must step up and take responbility of leadership. Scott Niedermayer's role as consultant may prove to be benefical to Ducks Cause in long term, in grooming and helping out Fowler and perhaps others in Defence Corps it can give our Ducks a Fighting chance to bounc back after disapointment of 09-10.

besides Fowler there is Etem a Long Beach Native and SoCal kid most definitily i have high hopes he will develope into the type of player Ducks will have once he moves from Junior to NHL. Cheers from staples centre was something considering a local boy achieve his NHL Dreams....It goes to show Hockey in California especially in Orange County is growing not quickly or slowly but steady. reading up on him if there is anything that stands out is work ethic install in him by his parents who both atheletes knows how hard one must work to achieve their goal


It makes me smile from time to time Hockey in a place like Anaheim is sucessful and can do well once winning conditions and envrioment is complete let alone set down. Even Ducks at times did not perform well as I and those expected it's a bump in a road for many who know this team well. Adversity is nothing new to Ducks especially for those who frequent Ducks Message Boards,Facebook,NHL Arena Ducks Message Board and others. In Order to succeed Ducks must know that unity as a collective will they can overcome and triumph. One thing is certain i beleive truly in my heart Ducks will Return to Stanley Cup and Reclaim their HONOR!.

Ducks symbolic Picks at a historic NHL Draft

It's been nearly month since Draft in LA.....Historic in that it was in Ducks own backyard not to mention in Enemy Territory. One can look this draft is something more then passing the torch,changing of the guard when Ducks announce their picks. One that was almost a dream come true, Other truly symbolic For Hockey in California. Cam Fowler and Emerson Etem both players mark 3rd time Ducks pick a duo in the NHL Draft. Fowler ranked no5 in NHL Central Scouting Etem ranked no17th was something that made our Ducks winners. picking the best player possible rings in true to these two for Etem a Long Beach kid from SoCal is something special since Hockey is growing and with Ducks winning Stanley Cup is one of important events for Hockey in nontradtional Market in Southern California.

Yet Roar of approval by Ducksfans attending the event was music to my ears seeing apperication Ducksfans have in the team picking a California Kid......it shows class Ducksfans have in their players. Something i know first hand for the 9 games i attended over 3 years. Fowler being pick was something honestly never would expected Ducks picked when it came their turn to announce their pick. But i believe as the words of the Newest Duck "Everything happens for a reason" sounds true for Ducks Cause to retool,restructure and bounce back after a disappointing 09-10 season.

If Ducks History shows our team develop good Defencemen,Vitaly Vishneski,Ruslan Salei and Oleg Tervesdosky. Fowler along with Mitera and perhaps Gardiner are on their way to taking the reigns of Ducks greatest strength being their Defence Corps. His contributions to Spitfires winning two MemCups is one aspect that stands out for me in the defencemen taking 12th overall. One thing the Draft shows is Hockey is growing in not only SoCal but Orange County.

Countdown for Ducks Hockey begins and i along with those Ducks fans in Ducks Nation await how this edition of the Ducks will look like. One more thing i want to point out drafting of Beau Bennett and Tyler Aronson shows Orange County is becoming a Hotbed slowly for Hockey.

Ducks Moment of Truth:Pratically equals success!

There is one thing that i need to say and speak on since offseason has saw our Ducks retooling and changing for the better. One thing that stands out is aspect Ducks are determine never EVER repeat what happen last season . Sure We know this team should have been better and Ducks themselves admit that after 09-10 season concluded. Not making Playoffs this year tells us Ducks need to fix what is wrong with key aspects of team especially Defence and Depth. I admit at times i wonder how will Ducks overcome this obstacle in front of them. Honestly with so much time on Ducks side and moving forward i do believe we should not be consume with FEAR or panic in assuming Ducks won't make Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Even though with Scotty's Retirement,Lydman signing,Koviu re-signing along with Drafting of Etem and Fowler has change our Ducks by reawaking their desire and Collective will....it has not change the goal that being winning Stanley Cup and achieving Greatness. Destiny was achieved 3 years ago but it continues in goal our team must pursue. Those who are ready to inherit the Ducks Banner are more then willing to carry winning tradition in the future. By now Next Generation of Ducks coming up in the system some ready some years away shall be able to make Ducks great once more. For Destiny give them purpose by proving our rivals and enemies wrong 3 years ago.

Now as Ducks move forward along with Ducks Nation together United they will prevail....cause one thing is needed and must remember never take this team for granted or history of Ducks in general. They will succeed by doing so do the practical which leads to eternal Glory.
