It's a little late But I though it would be best to cover the season that was for our team even though they fell short in winning a Game 7 for the 4th straight year. If i had to sum up the Ducks 15-16 it's Roller-coaster yet at the end it felt like Deja Vu. As Much as we expected our Ducks to start strong it was opposite...Losing back to back shutouts as well as season opener and Home Opener Dampen and Demoralize many including myself attending the 2 games vs Colorado and Phx made me and perhaps others wonder will Ducks make it back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. 1-7-2 lead us to question if our team needed to rebuild or Fire Bruce Boudreau. Being there live witnessing each loss felt like a Punch in the gut....Sometimes I ponder and ask like many who attended those Games..."What is going on".
Questions linger over those losses but My resolve was never shaken more like a shock as many were use to Ducks Strong Starts in Seasons Prior. It was strengthen knowing our Ducks had a tendency before Bruce's arrival to be slow starters. first 2 Months were tough but like previous season we endure as the Ducks pick up the pace once December rolled around. Ducks started coming together....Goals were coming from the usual Players we saw and Goaltending was able to get us some wins.
We witness milestones achieve from Ducks earning their 800th Win vs Chicago on Feb13th to arrival of David Perron and Jamie McGinn{Hope Ducks Re-sign them both}. Oh Let's not forget Ducks going from worst to first in Reclaiming another Pacific Division Title by leaping over LA our Hated Enemy in the last few months. many moments stand out besides Ducks 4th Straight Pacific Divison Title... Come from behind to win in OT vs Ottawa Mar26th. Yet despite what we endure nothing is stinging as Ducks Lost another Game 7 vs Nashville whom I personally Beleive Ducks would have SMASH the Preds to Dust..Losing 2-1 was Heartbreaking as it was for other Losses we witness. YES it's tough to be a Ducks Fan at this moment but like all low-points we witness as the Ducks have in seasons prior. They will overcome this with a stronger Resolve.
Task of redemption began with Bruce being relived of his duties and Ducks GM Bob Murray calling out the Core Players on losing another Game 7....4 straigh Game 7 losses yes IT Sucks I know. But imho This team will Break this so-Called "Curse". Despite the Criticism and all we have read,Debated and at times had arguments over We will always stand with our team for 16-17 will mark 10 years since Ducks Historic Stanley Cup Win. I Believe Ducks will get back to the Stanley Cup Finals it's NOT a Matter of HOW but........When!.

Bruce Bouderau's Dismissal:My Thoughs
Call it a prediction,or knowing the day will come....But when final Buzzer sound that night and Ducks Loss another Game 7. We knew certain that Bruce will be removed in coming days and weeks after 4th straight Game 7 loss that has dishonor our team and us all. Critics demanded Change,others ask for another chance but we know Patience was all bout gone and majority of Ducks Fans demanded Bruce be Let Go. It happen on 29th of April 2016 after 5 years Bruce was Fired by our Anaheim Ducks. 5 years makes him 2nd longest serving Ducks Coach in 23 year History of our team. What he has left behind is a teams that had strong seasons yet fall short in achieving the goals in Stanley Cup Playoffs. Closing out the series against rivals and enemies We know was Big Factor in his Dismissal. It some say maybe his mark...But we cannot forget positives he has brought to the Ducks
1.4 Straight Pacific Division Titles. 2. Fastest Ducks Coach to reach 200+ Wins. 3.3 straight Strong Starts and 4.800th Franchise Win in Ducks History. these are the Positives Bruce will definitely leave his mark in. There are many others but what we deal now is who will be Successor to Bruce. Be it Paul Maclean,Trent Yawney within the System or a Familiar Face in Randy Carlyle or another Outside. Bob has stated he will take his time to name a new Head Coach.
To me it's clear Change is needed for the Ducks to take the Next Step towards reclaiming the Stanley Cup and embracing everylasting Glory. From 2003 to 2007 they achieve that and they will do so after 4 straight Game 7 Losses. So say what you want bout Bruce he was a Good Coach but he was not good in the Playoffs. However for the team Accountability will be laid out in coming Months to remedied a situation that has been left to Rot. Ducks will have new Outlook and be Reformed to face the Challenges in reclaiming their Honor...REDEMPTION my Fellow Ducks Fans is on the Mind and Should be for our team.....
