Ducks Fighting Spirit:Renewed and Energize

Last nights win against Chicago was symbolic in many ways. It's said if you beat the best you are the best. Another way to look at it is the Fighting spirit our Ducks have shown has been renewed and Energize to the Max. Surely enough if history tells us of this team it's their tendency to come from behind and find ways to win....Sometimes it happens other times it falls short. However I feel this season even though it's short has been a blessing to our Team since day 1 12-13 season began in Vancouver. Coming from behind not only once but many times in the past few months shows the Confidence,strength in Numbers aka Depth and a team full of youth awaken to carry on the tradition of the Ducks Cause in the future. Winning breeds success but Hardwork,Dedication and drive to beat against the odds is something inspiration to all Ducks Fans and Hockey fans alike from Orange County California and beyond. Our Youth within the Ducks Ranks be it Etem or Holland show effort and willingness to spark the offense. Etem having 1g 6a 7pts and Holland's 3g 1a 4pts may not be much but both show promise and eagerness to prove their worth in wearing the Ducks D. Viktor Fasth what can we say bout this Swedish netminder then he is a godsend tot he Ducks in so many ways. starting strong in his debut in winning 8 games straight and doing very well in shoot-out. Not since Jiggy-Bryz Tandem since our Ducks have a 1A and 1B Goal-tending. And we know what happen when the Ducks as a whole benefited from two great Goalies. Amidst all that has happen I am very happy and please as many of you are in O.C and elsewhere of the Ducks making their rise towards the top. 22-3-4 48pts with a 13-1 record at the Ponda this is another accomplishment we witness Live first hand....It goes show you what it really means to be a Ducks fan witness and seeing first-hand milestones achieved and broken. All-time Leaders in categories be it Goalie wins and shutouts to Players leading in alltime goals,Games,assists and points. Let us embrace this team enjoy the moment as we did years past be it good,bad or ugly.....The roster we have is a mix of Youth, Experience and Energy as much as we can compare to the 2007 Stanley Cup Champion Ducks the difference imho is Ruthless aggression they had when the Ducks claim the Stanley Cup 6 years ago. Tommorow the Ducks Face a bitter enemy in our way...twice Detroit will be wanting to stall us and close the gap. But It's the duty of Ducks and Ducks fans to drive them out....CAST them out of O.C in defeat. Their fans may assume victory but for Ducks Fans we know REAL HOPE and CHANGE Comes when 23 players United into a Collective Will prove Haters,Doubters and Trolls otherwise. For now Let us enjoy this win and be ready for ANOTHER BATTLE! DuckPride 4ever MooseDuck

Ducks Destiny,Bruce Almighty and more

Hello again to you all how have you all been. It's been awhile since my last post but I had to deal with matters that are personal to me. Anyways on to our team after 24 games near the halfway mark our Ducks are in control of their fate and the destiny they have in their control. One should look no further then see how Bruce Bourdeau aka Bruce Almighty as I call him has guided our team by his positive phisophy and encouragement. A Phisopohy that I believe many Ducks Fans be it on Ducks Message Board,Facebook,Twitter and around the world has embraced. Our team like the editions before has always inspire many to do great things in life...Dedication,Heart,Sacrifice and Hard work leads to success that goes beyond just a Hockey game. It motivates many of us to do what is right in our lives and each moment we live. 12-13 short season has proven time and time again a blessing for the Ducks Cause and Ducks Nation worldwide. 18-3-3 overall plus a 11-1 record what more is there to smile bout then knowing each day or Night the Ducks have proven resilience,determination and Collective Will in getting the Job done. Destiny we see now shines on the players including those who won Stanley Cup and those who are honing their skills and adjusting to Ducks and Pros in general. Young Guns have shown their eager to prove themselves while Vets are hitting their stride....as for the Goalies both gave our Ducks a edge. Positive Thinking has it's strong results for many and looking at this roster and seeing them live last year. Gives us Hope in the Ducks rising to the top once more. Whatever results may hold I and perhaps others will "Wait and See". Bruce in a short time has shown his eagerness and hunger to get the job done as it was quote on the Ducks Website "I want everything. I never once thought that Chicago was out of range. Everybody else thinks they are, but I don’t. We’ve got a lot of work to do, but we’ve got half our season left. You don’t win anything in half a season. You can lose it, but you don’t win anything. Consistency and staying healthy are going to be our keys. You look at our schedule now, Minnesota is playing well and so are St. Louis and Dallas. They’re not easy games. Even when we get home from this trip, it’s San Jose, Chicago, Detroit, Detroit, San Jose. It’s not an easy thing. We’re focusing on being as good as we can be. We’d love to win everything, but we want to be as good as we can be on a consistent basis". He wants more and like any general it will pass down to Players who will be ready to give it their all. From Fasth to Beleskey and Cogs to the RPG Line a Coach like Bruce is leaving his mark in a short amount of time. Like his predecessors before it will be interesting to see what he can do for the Ducks in achieving Greatness. Furthermore at the halfway mark of the 48 games 2nd half proves vital as the first. As we approach the end of this short season questions remain on status of Corey Perry. Whether he is traded or not I refuse to ask or focus on what will our Ducks do come Trade deadline. Better imho he stays and re-sign to pursue another Stanley Cup for the Ducks. One thing we know is having Getzlaf re-sign is boost to Ducks Fans worldwide......As much we can hope we know this team is turning things around from potential and promise to Reality they will be a force to be reckon with. Local Ducks Fans especially in Orange County I know are smiling in seeing this team excel. Speaking of Orange County I have made a tough decison in not coming to see the Ducks for 12-13. Reason being is of Personal matter and of my obligations at work. Make no mistake if Had the chance I would love to see them but sometimes one has to take a step back when certain events are out of your control. Even though this marks first time I will not be there to see the Ducks live I know I will be there in spirit at the Ponda......am I dispointed or sad? No for me it came to matters that are close to my heart. But I know and I made promise I will return to see the Ducks.........Till then as those who are reading this please don't think I am giving up. Ducks have shown this year and season prior that Never giving up is not a OPTION in when one face adversity in Life!. DuckPride 4ever MooseDuck
