Ducks 2016-2017 season:Quest for Redemption and Opening Night!

So.....IT BEGINS no more talking,no more predictions,No More Assumptions. Time is NOW for the Ducks to Put WORDS into Action,Promises into Reality and Redemption included into Quest for the Stanley Cup. Summer is over and I am EAGER and FIRED UP as ALL OF YOU for Puck to Drop and Ducks be ready to go. Tonite we will see 24th Edition Assembled this week with a Randy Carlyle as Head Coach and few new Faces from Vermette,Boll and Bernier to Familiar ones in recent return of Emerson Etem. Speculate all we want in where Ducks will finish, We won't know yet or how this team will do in first 15 games. What we expect and hope is Ducks from Goaltending to Forwards and Defence stand united and Rise together. Main Goal is Stanley Cup it never change nor it never will since the Founding. Even though our Ducks won it in 2007...it remains the Same. However their is a added theme to this. It's Redemption not only for the Ducks themselves but for ALL Ducks Fans who endure like our team 4 year Game 7 Losing streak. YES it stings and it Stings when they left the Ice not saluting nice that Night....It remains in our Hearts and Souls. Once Game 1 Begins Ducks must use what happen as not only motivation to fuel the Hunger inside them. But the Goal of Redemption in cleansing ourselves of the Game 7 Flaws. Experince is there,Youth is there and with Ducks standing Together United...Collective Will must prove they are Strong and Reliable.

All Depends on 3 things 1.John Gibson:How will he do as Ducks Number he has his critics and on Opening Night he must show some within Ducks Nation that he is the Real Deal. Yes we have concerns bout his Health and IF he can be the Ducks Goaltending of the Future. 2.Randy Carlyle:Will he bring our Ducks back to Greatness?...Who knows his "Rehiring" is questionable be some while other welcome him back. It remains to be seen whether his 2nd Tenure will duplicate the success he had in his first Tenure...Guess we will wait and see. 3.Swedish Duo needs to be Re-signed NOW: I know as many of you are annoyed,disappointed and frustrated Ducks did not re-signed both Hampus Lindholm and Rickard Rakell during the offseason. We have been Patient and it has ended. How and when the Ducks re-sign this offseason hopefully soon....having them not in Lineup has been well Disappointing.

We can be Doom and Gloom But I beleive all of us should be hopeful and Optimistic for Ducks to avenge their honor and restore it. Whatever happens from here till Game 82 or what Place our Ducks will Finish we must support them and STAND Together UNITED. WE WILL RISE AS DO OUR DUCKS NO MATTER WHAT!...ANAHEIM DUCKS 4EVER!

4 Days till Ducks Hockey: Excitment and Eagerness

It's almost here Yes in 4 Days..FOUR Days till our Ducks are ready to be UNLEASHED,Focus on Redemption in the quest for Stanley Cup. I know what many of you thinking right now before Preseason concludes tonite. Some of you are hopeful,others uncertain with how things are going be it Carlyle's Return or slow dragging process in the Impasse that is Signing Lindholm and Rakell. I am Stoked beyond Happiness and Yes I am optimistic.....But we must not lose sight of Accountability within the Ducks themselves. Bob Murray imho has dragged his feet and not done ENOUGH in retooling the team in the Summer. We waited Patiently for the Swedes to be Res-signed!,That did not happen....Stoner was Waived yet was not traded. Makes me wonder if we are ready to tackle our rivals and Enemies for 16-17 season. Whether we have Lindholm or Rakell or Both in the Lineup Who knows. IF Ducks don't have the 2 in Lineup for Opening Night we may see some Young Guns getting a chance to make their Mark. Many of us expected and hope Theodore,Ritchie and Noesen make the team this year. But it seem not the case with Noesen and Theodore being assigned to San Diego many were surprised by this. For Me I was taken aback by this later found out why from hearing Jacob Larrson 19 years old and Nick Sorensen making some good impressions with the Ducks Coaching Staff and few Ducks Fans among us.

Let me say this on how this Edition of the Ducks will look like. We will see some Youth on the Roster who with absence of the Swedes be given a spot they earn in Training Camp. It's going to be exciting to see these kids not only prove themselves....But make their Mark for the Ducks Cause. We will see Veterans eager and ready to redeem themselves Hopefully for the LAST Time. Don't get me started but I want to see Veterans take Leadership and be one to lead the Charger in redemption. Wiping the Slate clean and hitting the ground running would be Beneficial in the Ducks no meet the fate they had last year. With all that has been said and done I just can't wait for the Ducks to Start dishing out Punishment, Who knows what the Roster will do this season But I know for sure I am FIRED UP and PSYCHED for the Ducks to be UNLEASHED.

October has Arrived!:Tough Decison lay ahead

12 Days till Puck Drops on 16-17 Season. We are 12 Days till our Ducks will be unified,assembled and UNLEASHED upon the NHL and our Enemies. Yet Still we face another task or should I say questions before Ducks begin their Quest for the Stanley Cup and Redemption. Impasse with Swedish Duo{Hampus Lindholm and Rikard Rakell} is dragging on to a point that many are wondering what it will Take to get them signed and under the Ducks Salary Cap. News of our team willing to unload a contract to a NHL East Team should come to no surprise due in part in order for the Ducks to get both Swedes Sign. Chances of getting Draft Picks IF the Ducks trade a Player is great due in part Season will begin One Week....So Time is slowly ticking and we await what 24th Edition of Anaheim Ducks would look like on Oct13th. Many of us including myself know the Ducks to get this roster ready Trading a Defencemen as many feel right now Clayton Stoner or Cam Fowler is justified in order for the team to Get Number Left Winger and give the Ducks some scoring punch 2nd after the Twins is important to spread the Offense abit more.As Much as Speculation rums rampant and Predictions on where the Ducks will Finish are mixed among Ducks Fans. We agree on one thing in comes to our Team....Win the Stanley Cup and Restore Honor to the Ducks Cause.

We deal with ups and Downs,Highs and Lows,Wins or Losses over the previous seasons/Years. What I see looking at the Players who came through Trades,Signings and Draft is a team ready,Hunger and Eager for the Season to Begins. As the Preseason continues Let's be Real and honest........Trades are going to Happen and whoever the Ducks trade we must understand that players Come and Go but our team must always comes first. IF the DUCKS Do get Picks expect this some of our young Guns will get a chance. Theodore,Ritchie heck in Stefan Nosen. I can also say personally that whatever Happens All Ducks Fans should support the team. Whether you are living in Orange County Califorina or out of the Country say Finland,Sweden,Russia or here in Canada. We stand by this team and we hope for the Best.
