Greetings to all Ducks Fans reading this. How are you all? I know it's been a little late discussing Prior season but Let's not forget the Ducks are not only the Top Team in the NHL be it League,Western Conference and Pacific Division. 32-10-6 70pts They are on pace maybe Breaking prior Club Records a year prior. Yet We must remeber Events that has lead our Ducks to where they are now. From Teemu Selanne's farewell Tour,Staduim Series involving Ducks vs LA first outdoor in Socal to Kesler arrival to the Ducks. Let's not forget Ducks changing Uni's to Breaking 7 year old Club recors for most Wins and Pts. The Team had some Ups and Downs it was reflection of Ducks 20th Anniversary we remember Ducks Past,Appreciate the Present and Hope for the Future. Lost to our Enemy LA still stings to this day and Seeing Selanne and the Ducks fall short was something hard for us to endure and see. 5 events stood out for the team and these five events give us Hope,Apperication and Pride knowing the Ducks are on the right track to set things right.Dedication along with redemption and Passion for vengance to avenge the Loss to LA and turn things around is what's motivating the Ducks. With the All star break over and Teemu Tribute night entrench and fused in our Minds,Hearts and Soul here on are top 6 events that shape 2013-2014 Ducks Anniversary season: 1.Teemu Selanne's Farewell Tour: Ducks Legend and Icon We knew it was time for him to Move on and even though he Deserves a Better fate on Ice his deeds outweigh more then what happen during Ducks-LA 7 Game war on Ice. 2.Stadium Series 2014: Another first for the Ducks and another Chapter written in the Battle with LA. It Proves Hockey can work in SoCal and in Warm Weather so once Again Hockey Fans be it Ducks Fans or fans of the other two NHL Teams in Cali prove Hockey works. 3.Ryan Kesler Trade:Need we say More folks....his arrival made a BIG Difference right now. Ducks Want a No2 Center and they got him in exchange for Sbisa and Bonino. 4.J-S Giguere and George Parros: Both Players contribute so Much to the Ducks First Stanley Cup Championship. For Parros we know him as the Enforcer whose Deeds off the ice is greater on the Ice. As for Giggy? what can one say bout our Alltime Leader in Ducks Goalie Wins,Shutouts,SV%....etc It was you can say another Moment of a Changing of the guard. 5.New Look Same Dedication:Ducks Debuting New Uni's was something and evolving of our team's Unique look. 6.Ducks 20th Anniversary Home Opener:Honoring the Orignal Ducks from Guy Herbert and Stu Grimson to Bobby Dollas and Troy Loney It's Great to Remeber the Past Players and Contributions of Ducks Players who left their Mark. 7.Ducks Repeat as Pacific Division Champions: If there is one Positive we experience Ducks earn a 2nd straight Pacific Division Title in 2014. 8.Club Records have Fallen: Be it Most Wins and Points to emerging one of the Best Edition the Ducks have assemble. Even though they fell Short one can tell our Team has Purpose and Dedication to Complete their Stanley Cup Quest. 9.Emergence of Fredick Andersen and John Gibson:Future is Bright for Ducks Goaltending with Big Fred and Gibby emerging as the Ducks two best Goalie Options. It lead to the team choosing the two over former Duck Jonas Hillier. 10.Ducks Draft Ritchie:Getting BPA is always be a Clinche and the Ducks getting Nic who has that drive let alone talking to Local Ducks fans last year shows our Ducks done their homework. As we look forward we always cherish and Remember how make the Ducks unique not just in US,Canada,Finland,Sweden and beyond but in Orange County Califorina,Austriala and elsewhere.
