Importance of Youth

Coming season 2010-2011 many Ducksfans in Orange County will witness the arrival of what have always say Next Generation or injection of New Blood in the Ducks system. It seems with Fowler Signing 3 year entry and talks of Mitera we may see one or maybe both in the Defence Corps when Training Camp begins and ends. One has to wonder when Youth movement begins we may see some of the Ducks Prospects competing for a spot at Training Camp weeks from now. Setting the bar is a norm our Ducks meet from year in and year out.....with our vets getting older there will come a time for those to step up and take leadership.

Getzlaf,Perry,Ryan,Sexton,Belesky,Mikkelsson and others must take the torch and be ready to lead. If disapointments of Last season shows us it's assumation by those waiting in the wings it will be a repeat. Certainly it will stire desire,determination and Hunger for Ducks to 1.Never REPEAT mistakes of last season 2.Seize the moment by making their mark on Ducks in general, those who made their mark are legends and remeber for their contributions 3. Leave NOTHING i mean NOTHING Behind show them no mercy that being Naysayers,Haters,Purists and those TROLLS who stand in our way of Ducks Destiny will face FEAR.

Regards on those who say who will be on the squad when Ducks begin their Gathering aka Training Camp one thing is certain there will be alot of youth fighting for a spot.

Teemu Selanne:A Ducks Legend

No matter how one looks at this signing. Teemu Selanne's status with Ducks is legend not to mention he has been a fixture in Orange County as long as one knows. Since arriving to Ducks Nation in Feb 6 1996 he has contributed so much to Ducks Cause it's seem like yesterday Teemu hit the ice and made history....From scoring first Playoff goal in 1997 Western Conference Quaterfinal,52 Goals most by any Ducks to helping Ducks win Stanley Cup Championship in 2007.

Memories of him are etched in our minds forever like any moment in Ducks history over Past 18 years be it Good,Positive or bad Teemu always do what is best. It makes smile seeing him ice hearing great things in what he has done for Orange County from Anaheim to Mission Veijio......Never in my mind to see a player do what he did be a ambassdor of our great sport and Team. In fact his legend has been cement long after he decides to call it a career.....It's good to know he is returning for one season. hopefully he will make the best of a 10-11.

Size Does matter

Signing of Sutton brings back Size and Nastyness Ducks missed last season. Even though 08-09 Ducks clinched their 7th Playoff Berth, 4 in a row it was due in part of strengthn in numbers of each player contributing grit,agression and Fury needed our team to Bring the Hammer to our enemy. So Far imho it's a good start considering the fact Ducks Signed Lydman and Re-signing Koviu . It goes to show priorities Ducks make in not repeating the same mistakes as they did.

6-6 D-man is something that will be bring back edge Ducks needed. Then again with Training Camp a month away there is still time Ducks to add hopefully another Big D man perhaps one who is 6-5 to shore up and balance out our team. If Ducks Won Stanley Cup due to Size and speed then i am confident they can do it again.
