June 6th 2007 "Day of Great Victory":8 years Later

Memories last forever and tomorrow we mark a day that is symbolic to us all. Anaheim Ducks won their 1st Stanley Cup on that day...6-2 over Ottawa winning the Series 4-1, We all remember where we are from when Puck Drop to Buzzer sound. Whether you be there in your seat at the Ponda aka Honda Centre Live in your seat when Ducks Became Champions and FIRST California Based team to achieve that feat to those around the world watching it at home,Keeping Score or listening Internet Radio. We all knew where we were when Ducks Won Hockey's Biggest Prize on a the day I coined "Day of Great Victory" on Ducks Message Board. For me watching that game that night meant alot to me as a Diehard Ducks Fan. When Scott Niedermayer hoisted the Stanley Cup tears of joy,Happiness and vindication came over me. Screaming "Anaheim Ducks 4ever" while I run through My house I felt on top of the world....I though of My life long friends who I made that day. from those I met in person and those I connected on Facebook It made me realize that moment we all change from the team to All Ducks Fans as whole we realize the sky is not only the limit but there are endless possibilities from Free agents many Ducks fans hope for to Prospects Ducks could Draft. Amazing that it seems as if That Stanley Cup Victory was yesterday often I smile at the Pics of Giguere holding his Baby skating on ice to Teemu Holding the Stanley Cup over his head. Roar of the Crowd counting down it was like Thunder of Energy knowing full well that we became the Top Dog of Hockey World. Reflecting and remembering that moment reminds me best is yet to come. As many of us deal with the sting of 3rd Straight Game 7 loss at Home for the Ducks. Let's remember clearly and openly in our hearts and Minds with each adversity Ducks face no matter Win or Lose,adepting to Injuries that plague them or any funk our Ducks with overcome it. People say Ducks should focus on being like other teams for Success in Copying them. I say to you THIS for all who is ready *Points to the Ducks 2007 Stanley Cup Banner" THAT should be our GOLD STANDARD. Tomorrow I ask all Ducks Fans to wear Orange and Proud and always Remember and be Inspire that our Ducks made history 8 years ago and they can it again!. DuckPride 4ever MooseDuck

Ducks Losing Game 7:Days After

Disappointment,Sad,Anger and of course Frustration....it's something Felt when the buzzer sound and Ducks Losing for 3rd Straight Game 7 at home in 3 years. What's worst was knowing our team was sadly enough the First to lose 3 Game 7's with Home Ice advantage. Our Foes are having a field day bombarding with the BS we see on Ducks Facebook and Twitter. Over on Ducks Message Board it's mix of Knee Jerk Reaction and upset at why our Ducks would lose a Game 7 at Home AGAIN was not insulting but Dishonorable. Seeing Clarence Campbell Bowl presented to a opposing team on Ponda for 2nd time was a Disgrace. I read from fellow Ducks fans feel shaken and have faith tested. I can't blame most of them for feeling that way.Blame the players,Coaches and the system for this Let down We don't know how or why the Ducks Fall short 2 Days ago. One can wish to be the fly in the wall to understand or know what was going on in the Ducks Locker Room. It hurts seeing many of the players in postgame interview...You can tell by their expressions they felt they were the better team. In my honest view I truly Believe This team could go all the way, whatever the Issue is the Ducks must address asap this offseason. You See as much as we can debate,Bicker and disagree on what happen the Big Picture that follows this Team is simple...Ducks Need a Defencemen. Someone with not only a Calming Influence but can assist in developing Ducks Four Young Guns within Defence Corps. They have Beauchemin but we may need another to give guys like Fowler,Vatanen,Despres and Lindholm a Shot in the arm and groom them for the role as part of the Ducks Cause. There will be changes not major ones as we speak as days will turn to weeks and months as far as winning the Pacific Division Title for 3rd straight year,overcoming injuries and other adversity This team is destine for greatness. Agree with me or not with how i see the Ducks right now tested with this heartbreaking loss...it will strengthen resolve and that of the youth within their ranks. They now again that Winning and overcoming Adversity is Hard never Easy not a Cakewalk. One can expect them to Win but we must always realize that to achieve Victory you have to endure Naysayers,Trolls and Pundits not to motion Predictions of alot of Rival or hated NHL Fans and especially in Hockey. "Where do the Ducks go from here" beleive me questions will be coming and changes will be needed. It pains me to think of the loss and seeing the Pic of the Hawks presented with the Western Conference Trophy made mine blood boil....All in all IF the Ducks are to snap this seemly bizzare Funk that is losing Game 7's 3 straight years it comes down to Ducks Fans most of us moving on and Remember that we must Not let this create Doubt on the Team who we feel is the best and many Ducks fans who believe in the path Ducks will take. Remember my Fellow Ducks Fans the path to Stanley Cup is hard and full of obstacles. Let's be Thankful appericate Ducks going as Far as Stanley Cup Final Four.....we know Ducks Do Better and what is needed is a player or two to get back on Track. Whatever Fate Bruce Almighty has it comes down to the Ducks Decided to retain him or not. For now Let's take a step back and Focus on 2015-2016 season. DuckPride 4ever MooseDuck
