Randy Carlyle's Return and arrival of New Ducks via Draft

This week has been a one of renewal,Reform and of Purpose. Return of Randy Carlyle has many wonder if the Ducks going back to the past would be a key to regain lost Honor and restore Glory to Anaheim Ducks and those of Ducks Nation. Some have question whether having old Hand guide our Ducks back to greatness would work with Carlyle while others feel that someone who brought Contributed to the Ducks in Winning their First Stanley Cup and is Winningest Coach is Beneficial to Ducks Cause in hopes that revitalize team will break the Game 7 Funks that stings till this day. What's more important is knowing that in order to Reform mindset of the team and cure what ills them in past 4 years. Love him or Hate Him Carlyle can be a Lighting Rod for his style let alone unyielding Demands to get the best out the Players. Say what you won't bout him as much as I wanted the Ducks to pick someone new. I understand their need to get somone familiar to hold certain Players within the Ducks Roster Accountable.

Opinions are mixed be it Ducks Message Board,Facebook,Twitter and instagram but we all can agree that having Ducks Head Coach is better then No Coach at All. Last Night we see a Next Generation of Ducks Call up to Podium. Max Jones drafted at 24th a Left Winger from London Knights(Perry's old Junior team) and Center Sam Steel from Regina Pats. Both have upsides bring alot to Ducks Future in coming years.

Max Jones or as we now Call him Mad Max is a Power Forward that is hard hitting and provide Good shot that I am sure will excite Ducks Fans for years to come. Sam Steel as I dubbed him Man of Steel his stats are Pretty Good for a Center due to his Playmaking style add to the fact his 8 goals and 22 assists has proven the trade for 30th Pick was a "Steel" for the Ducks in sending Freddie to T.O. as 2nd Day of Draft is Underway I can tell you that with the upgrades at this year's Draft can be Beginning of turning the Ducks around for their Road to Redemption. As we know and Hope Ducks will look Different and be meaner when the Puck Drops Oct13th.

9 years seems like Forever....many of us who watch it be it Live,On TV or was able to record the game and know the moment when the Buzzer sound and Ducks were Stanley Cup Champions. Knowing that all those years of NHL Fans of other teams,Canadian Hockey fans and Purists alike doubted us,Mocked our Name and our Colors. Not mention where Team was founded they were associated with Disney and with SoCal never understand or appreciate how far the team has come. 14 years of Blood,sweat,Tears and Dedication in overcoming the odds is something to behold and admire. That Night as I call it "Day of Great Victory". That Night Everything Change,Anaheim Ducks,Ducks Fans and all involve alike change for the Better. We were no Longer the "Joke" as many called us. We were taken seriously and Ducks Fans were inspired,Motivated and Happy that years of Perseverance result in our Name Living forever. From Teemu Selanne and JS Giguere to then Young Guns Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry all the way to Chris Pronger and Niedermayer Brothers...My Passion for the team was strengthen let alone increase tenfold. If one thing I can say it was inspiring to see Scott Niedermayer Raise the Stanley Cup high at the Honda Centre. No Words....just pure Joy. Ducks Fans came of age that moment as our Team did. With a Stanley Cup came expectations and dreams of Players who may fit into the Ducks System of Hockey.


Passion I see each years since I came to see my FIRST NHL Game and Anaheim Ducks Live I can tell you honestly Anaheim Ducks and Hockey in General has became a Important part of Orange County and SoCal's Culture. You can say Ducks Stanley Cup Win grew the sport. Becoming 1st California Based team to Win Hockey's Most cherish Prize made everyone in Hockey World be it Canada,USA,Finland,Sweden right down to Tradition Hockey markets in Montreal,Toronto and in my hometown of Cole Harbour Nova Scotia. Hockey is for everyone including those who love and Follow the Ducks as I do. 2007: Year of the Duck always hold a special place in my Home Work...Ducks Winning the Stanley Cup,Getting all if not most of Players autographs and made life long Friends. I never take for granted and appreicate those Ducks Fans who I consider my friends and kept in Touch to today.
