T-Minus 1 Day till Ducks Hockey:Season Opener

So it Begins tommorow night, after months of waiting,days of talking bout "What IF'S to seeing the Players our Ducks have acquired for and signed in the Offseason has our Hopes up and our Goals being a real as Brightness of the Sun. "Gathering of the Ducks" aka Training Camp has concluded with the Ducks 22nd Edition assembled and ready for the Quest for the Stanley Cup. Path we see is clear it will be tough yet Hard as we know nothing is easy to earn the Right to Hoist Hockey's Holy Grail and become Immortal in the Hockey world yet again. News I hear from and read on Ducks Message Board is Good,Positive and Hope is everywhere from Ducks Message Board to Facebook,Twitter and Instagram. Even Ducks Fans outside of Orange County California and North America and Looking ahead in what is Important season. Arrival of Haeglin,Stewart,Bieska and others give the Team not only a deep one but strengthen the Depth everywhere including Left Wing for the first time as I remember. But we must not take it for granted or assume this season is a forgone Conclusion. The Hockey News may have Predicated the Ducks to win it all yet we must take it with a grain of salt since Prediction do not come true..........Cept 8 years ago when yours truly and I think others had a "Wait and see" Approach that year plus it was first time I made Trip to see the Ducks in person. Looking at Ducks Roster I am very pleased and Happy with the Players they put together on the team. from Hagelin and Knudobin being name to the Ducks 2015-16 opening season Roster to young Guns Chris Wagner and Josh Mansonn earning their spot through Hard Work and Dedication. Mix of youth and Experience as I see the names is apparent and clear as Day right in front of us. We know and we can agree "Good is not close enough" is not only their New Mantra But I see it as a RALLYING Cry for the Ducks and all DUCKS FANS THROUGHOUT THE HOCKEY WORLD and everywhere. Too Long we have endure 3 Game 7 Losses that it dwells abit on our Mind. Like a sickeness it must cured. Yet in order to this Ducks must BREAK it with Collective Will that must KNOW NO FEAR and have faith in each other. First as Ducks 22nd Campaign we must hit the ground Running by MAKING example of San Jose....MAKE THEM INTO Sushi and CARVE A PATH THAT LEAVES NOTHING BUT Teams being afraid of us to play and Battle against each Night. 15-16 Season also marks historic First in Ducks Farm team establish in San Diego. Talks of having a farm team close to Home in SoCal has been talk about for last decade. Truly I am thrilled like all Ducks Fans that Ducks not only move the Farm team close to Home but Founded the San Diego Gulls in honor of previous Gulls team prior years before. Ducks Sphere of Influence expanding to San Diego imho will increase Hockey beyond Orange County but also expand FanBase that will encompass both Orange County and San Diego County. To me it's a Big Boost and Great Thing for the Ducks and kudos to Henry and Susan Samueli on bringing Hockey Back to a City with Great History. Gulls Uni and Logo has some symbolism from the lettering to Ducks Shoulder Patch on the Gulls Uni. What excits is knowing the team will will keep a close eye on Gibson,Ritchie and other Ducks Prospects who will get some seasoning while being monitor by Ducks Front Office. Gone are now the days where the Ducks had to form alliances with East Coast Teams in order to develop their Prospects.....There was one time Ducks had no farm team which hinder that progress for a short time. As we Count Down I am looking at Ducks SMASHING THROUGH our enemies and Rivals as well as Gulls in establishing their Mark and Setting the Tone for this Hockey Season. As for Ducks Players we should keep an eye on John Gibson,Nic Ritchie and others who symbolic represent Ducks Greatness for Years to come. For now What I forward is Ducks to be UNLEASHED WITH VENGEANCE. DuckPride 4ever MooseDuck
