It's been awhile since Ducks Quest for a Stanley Cup was cut short and with any loss a team must learn what needs to be done to regain glory that is change them for the better. Often with teams that have Won Stanley Cup especially the Ducks themselves must go through pains of reclaiming what is rightfully there's. Sometimes our team must go through transition from Old to young..Carrying mantle of Ducks Cause is hard to do, yet it's Worth more then each loss Ducks endure brings a learning experience to new Blood within the rank and file on roster. Be it Vets who are getting older with age to Young and up and comers...sometimes a team win some and lose some that is nature of how to become a Champion. Ducks learn this 4 years ago by claiming Stanley Cup, If our Ducks can develop the youngsters within it will make them stronger,motivated,determine and hopefully be consistent in getting the job done when playing a string of games. When i look back this season and previous one...I see transition and change for the better. Even though i prefer Ducks kept Giguere and have nieds stay for one more year....i accepted change as others in Ducks Nation.
Whatever this offseason holds for this team i hope for the best, I beleive Ducks will do what they can to get set things right,focus on defence,build 3rd line and hopefully get our team back on Track.

June 6th 2007:4 Years later
Not a day goes by when I though bout that historic Day, 4 years ago History was not only made but a new chapter began that night. What we experience in years past be it struggles for respect and Battles against overwhelming odds be it on and off the ice. From having name that was consider “Funny” to Purists and traditionalist hockey fans and look down upon. Ducks have never gave up but try to find not only a way to win but stand tall in the face of skepticism, hatred and condescension from trolls and naysayers. It’s amazing how one simple historic event changes all of us as a fanbase and Ducksfans in general. No longer we expect each season to be struggle…. Expectations is the norm now and debates on what is best for our team is pretty much out and about considering I have see much of it over the 4 years on Ducks Message Board and elsewhere.
Since that historic day we have grown as Fans of this sport and as Ducks Nation. Gone are the struggles and fear of being overwhelmed by the opposition. We now expect best from our Ducks and want nothing more then Wins and Absolute Victory. We look forward to future by remembering what made our Ducks who they are now. In retrospective Ducks and Ducksfans like us have change for the good…. you can say that moment on June 6th we came of age. Discussion we have can lead to bickering and disagreements on what is best course of action Ducks must make to win. Indeed it’s alright to agree to disagree even though we share a common passion for the Ducks and Hockey itself. Deep down we are all Ducksfans. Winning One Stanley Cup does not mean the end, it’s beginning of new chapter in Ducks History.
All those years we spent being the whipping boy of purists, naysayers and other Hockey fans alike you were told you don’t care bout Hockey and those will fail…since 1993 Ducks have fought hard to be where they are. Look at them now a team that has earn respect, Honor and continue quest to improve one’s purpose. Truly they have done a lot in 18 years, Ducksfans alike should be proud of these feats of accomplishments certainly future is promising and bright. Many of us have witness great moments from First Win and Goal to First Playoff series win and Conference Title to eventual Stanley Cup itself…”day of Great Victory as I call it is something we hold dear to our hearts and we remember clearly as if it’s yesterday. Sky is limitless for the Ducks right now, eternal glory we tasted it lead us to become immortal in Hockey.
Yet there is more to winning 1 Stanley Cup. It’s not the end of our success nor is it a destination. That night open a new chapter with everlasting purpose engrain in all of us Ducks Nation, never giving up amidst uncertainty of past issues that we are relentless as our team to pursue greatness through hard work and Honor…it’s that trait and history set’s us apart Dedication is something our team strives for and must set in motion. Personally it’s a character quality our team must use. This was done before and can be achieved once more. Witnessing Milestones Team Firsts one can say “I was there when Ducks won the Cup” to “I was there at First game and win”. That day will forever be engrained, etched and cemented in our souls we must never forget glory Ducks achieve and future holds so promising and bright in years to come. Ducks Hockey is core of who we are as Ducksfans, loving this sport is something we appreciate and respect. Best is yet to come for the Ducks as I say before with this saying “Greatness never fades cause Memory never Dies”.
