Ducks Stanley Cup Victory:6 years later

June 6th 2007 most of us within Ducks Nation from OC to Finland to Canada and back know how symbolic it mean to all Ducks fans Worldwide. "Day of Great Victory" as I Said back on the Ducks Message Board not a single day,month and week has past since we reflect on that moment. Ducks winning 4-1 Series over Ottawa. score 6-2 with Giguere in the Net and every player contribute in the Playoff Run.....It meant so much to us all and for me personally. I travel to see the team in march got most of their autographs and took their pics during 3 games I was there. They won 3 of them I remember. What really matters is how things change for US,The Ducks and those who follow the sport in California in general. It's Clear now that June 6th tomorrow will mark 6 years to this day a moment that Change not only our Anaheim Ducks but all Ducks fans who follow this team since Day1. Look at us now we along with our team has evolved,come of age,changed for the better since that night not long ago. Where has it lead us to let's say a moment of new-found knowledge in knowing anything can be possible and anyone can be be traded to improve the Ducks and the Duck Cause in general. Sphere of influence expanded greater with Anaheim Ducks founding a High School Hockey league to rinks not to mention drafting a Local California Kid named Emerson Etem. We have seen highs and lows,good and the bad,question clearly on who should be traded and who should stay. It was not that long ago that we were content with who we have at this moment before our Ducks became the First...Let me repeat the FIRST California Team to win the Stanley Cup. Remembering the players from Selanne to Niedermayer and J-S Giguere to the kids line of Getzlaf-Perry-Penner all the way to the shutdown line Pahlsson-Rob Niedmayer-Moen. All of the players left a mark. They were part of the First Stanley Cup Championship Winning Team To do this was not only something special for Diehard Ducks fans such as myself. It seem like yesterday on that night from when the Puck drop till the buzzer. It was a dream that became reality for Ducks Nation......Truly many of us that were there be it watching it Live and on TV We were Dedicated to the Cause we showed Ducks Dedication before the slogan became the norm. I can go on bout many of the players on the Roster but we know their names by heart and their faces and what they did....I always believe it's best to remember them and the past in order to move forward and reflect with Pride and Happinesses. It goes to show that Hardwork and perseverance can overcome anything if you put your mind to it and work with others towards a common Goal. As we look ahead towards future one cannot let go of the past in knowing that ours is truly a exceptional one. Need I say more that our team winning their First Stanley Cup not only but our Ducks on the Map but it allow us to earn recognition and a place in the Hockey World. Alot has change my friends and as we apporach this Milestone Let us reflect on how our Ducks have accomplish in 20 years. Ducks have done more the LA,San Jose and the other expanison teams of the 1990s. Share toast and wear your Colors with Ducks Pride. DuckPride 4ever MooseDuck
