Hating NHL West's 3 teams

San Jose,Detroit or Vancouver...It's hard to say who should i root for of course i never care nor like the teams Ducks have a history with. Battles they had with these teams were not only tense but important considering history they have with our Ducks in the past. Whether it be Rivarly with San Jose, Feud with Detroit or Putting up with BS of Vancouver fans. One thing is certain imho i will NOT cheer for any team coming out of the Western Conference. Put it this way I don't WANT all three teams to succeed. San Jose would love to see them fall in a epic way,Detroit love to see them be embrass and humliated...as for Vancouver what can i say as Canadian i love Hockey,Ducks and 67's I do not want to be put up with "Bring Cup back to Canada" BS.

I would rather have Boston win Stanley Cup then see 3 out west Succeed. yeah call it a fool or a Ducksfan who is paranoid but to me there is one team that is the Ducks. I have no issue with others who cheer for other teams. To me that what makes Hockey different from other sports. If you choose to cheer on Vancouver no problem or T.O hey it's a sign of respect even though that team has no intention of fielding a winning team. To be truthful i am hoping This year's Stanley Cup Finals will be exciting as for Ducks in Offseason I am eager to see what happens.

My Thoughs on Ducks Offseason

It's been weeks since Ducks were eliminated sometimes one has to wonder where this team will go from here. I for one looking at who Ducks will pursue at Free agency and maybe players at the Draft, then again it sucks that Ducks elminated in first round first time in 3 years is something i never would like to see. But as always it's price to pay for Success this team has tasted in years past. besides first round loss against Nashville there were positives in accomplishments of Players be it Perry,Selanne,Fowler and Lubo. What really stands out is team defied the odds by overcoming adversity, from 0-4 start to earning a spot in the Playoffs when many predicting they wont'. What makes this season good is they did it without having Hiller the no1 goalie in lineup. Not able to play and with suffering from vertigo is something i can't imagine Hiller is going through. But i wish him the best hoping he returns....but credit has to be given to two goalies who guided the Ducks towards post-season. Ray Emery and Dan Ellis both goalies have do well including Emery. Even though Ray was a sens who Ducks beat 4 years ago did very well in contributing to the Ducks 2nd half season.

Truly sting of disappointment and pain of loss is still there. One has to look ahead and not dwell on the past that is 10-11 season which was unpredictable and imho crazy. Whatever happens this offseason i believe Ducks will look at three important things in regards to Free agent frenzy and NHL Draft. 1. Replenish their Talent pool in the system,drafting best players is important to build on. However it won't surprise me if the team choose Defencemen or maybe it won't hurt to draft a Goaltender. 2.Sign affordable Free agents who i hope will make a impact on the Ducks next season and snap their string of slow starts. 3. Re-sign their RFA's If Teemu and Todd would like to return then by all means they should...If not they earn the right to either call it a career.

I positive this offseason will be a summer of change and looking forward to what will be a decison Ducks will make.
