Our Ducks:Influx of Youth with some experince

Not a day or night goes by wondering what Do I talk bout with this Lockout hanging over our heads. Cancelling of first week of Pre-season,let alone it would have been first few games we talk and ask ourselves who makes it and who does not is something that we miss let alone feel out of place right now. Training Camp or "Gathering of the Ducks" should have started yet the Team like many others cannot control their fate at this moment as talks still go on amidst pessimism and uncertainty....News of Sbisa going over to play in Europe did not surprise me then again. We should not be talking bout the "CBA" or who is to blame. Discussion should have been on the Ducks Youth and the influx of them gathering at Training Camp. We Ducks Fans now have to settle with how well they do in Norfolk....sometimes when something happens in Hockey a team or league gains from a work stoppage. Example is Team Canada Junior team at 2005 WHJC. a Team loaded with young Talent we see many have establish their careers including two of our Ducks becoming regulars and Leaders for the Ducks Cause. Right now It appears history maybe repeating itself with the WHJC months away and Admirals ready to drop the puck in 15 days from now. Roster listed at the Ducks Farm team in Norfolk shows the Future and experience in some like Lasch,Hendry,Smaby,Cousineau,Maroon and few others. Plus put in Etem,DSP,Clark,MacMillan and we see a good combination that we may see few seasons and years down the road. As I say We should not take this crop and New Blood that is Ducks Future for granted. They like the ones before and previous seasons prior wear the Ducks D and before that Ducks Duck Mask with Honour and represent our Unique team in general.....a Lineage stretch back to the Expansion team. What see on the roster in Norfolk is glimpse of our Future and the Ducks Rising again once more. Call me a Fool But i am optimist and a passionate Zealot at heart. To me this team has what it can to Rise once more and reclaim the Stanley Cup. Whether or not the Season begins I feel our Ducks will have a edge in the group of youngsters eager to prove themselves to the Ducks Front Office and Ducks Nation as a whole....Who knows We may see them pulling a upset or two IF the NHL Lockout mess is sorted out.
