Anticipation is building and just a week away our team is down to making final cuts before leaving for Helsinki. Make no mistake that our Ducks must start strong,stay united and Do not let anything stand in their way once puck drops on Oct7th. Key is as we know by now Ducks must start strong and seize any advantage presented to them. I am anxious,eager downright FIRED UP for 11-12 season to begin....like most of you on this Ducks Message board and elsewhere Countdown is a reminding of hope,optimism and determination to see this team succeed. New Edition of the Ducks remains abit of the same...don't be surprise if any new blood take roster spots. Although as each day pass it's interesting to see who makes it to the Ducks roster. Every time i look at players on this team and stats in preseason. I can't help but smile and have a sense of pride in our team shaping up. Having Pride in this team,History and what the Ducks can do gives us a sense the Best is yet to come....Knowing their Determination,Drive to succeed and Collective Will to prove haters,doubters and purists wrong. We know Ducks are up to the challenge to battle each game. What is essentially is playing full 60mins give it their all and not take ANY game for granted be it against a rival,enemy or a bottom dweller.
For many of us Ducksfans seeing milestones,witness Historic firsts being there from highs and lows,Dark times and rising. Our Ducks are exceptional not only of their name,uni's and players. But moments we see and know that makes them different, Unique and good.....leaving us memories etch in our minds,souls and hearts. I always believe Ducks drafting a player should be given a shot. Be it Etem,Fowler and Holland to previous draft picks like Kariya,Oleg and Vish. Any player always has a opportunity to make their mark...including those who were traded. Sometimes i have hopes for them others i was disappointed. Amidst days that remain till Season Opener and home opener Ducks and Ducksfans must remain united,Steadfast and be ready for the battles ahead. There no such thing as "Easy game" or assume there is "Easy win" Ducks know this and we know it well for holding our team accountable after few losses. Together United Ducks will prevail if All are on the same page. Our team is hungry,Determine to set things right. All we do is bid our team and see how our team will look like....For now i am hoping some players make it and STRIKE fear in the hearts of opposition.
