Ducks Offensive Outburst:Road ahead

2 Game winning Streak 6 goals in each of those games. Many ask if the Ducks will find offense it they did on those nights. With Gibson standing tall and Ducks PP going 1-4 against Montreal and 1-3 vs Philly,Special teams is still a work in progress...however many of us are please Ducks are finding goals in the net from Depth players like Grant and Rasmussen and Goal from Getzlaf returning to the Flock along with Hampus Lindholm presence puts a smile on my face. Gibson's 33 saves vs Philly and 51 saves vs Montrel was outstanding. I like all Ducks Fans right now hope this will lead to better things ahead. Who knows but we must hope Consistency will be at forefront for our team going forward as. Put it this way looking at NHL West standings especially Pacific Division they need is close the gap with not only LA,Calgary and Van but VGK. Let's not lie to ourselves but Magento's have been surprise to us all...I was hoping they fall but I guess with the team they have they are abit of a upswing for expansion team.

Return of Getzlaf and Lindholm imho was a big Difference maker last night. IF they can be the factor as they will in next 8 games,our Ducks would be Rising Once more. Big Picture we see as first month of 17-18 season winds down is Ducks are Hungry,Ready,Eager to set things right and Driven with Purpose and desire to Smash through our Enemies. For what it's worth 3 things is needed.

1.Consistency:IF Ducks can build on what they have then they will STRIKE fear on 30 NHL Teams including rivals and enemies in Pacific Division.
2.Collective Will:All players must contribute and stand together in Winning and reaching the Promise land. Whether it be Getzlaf and Perry or John Gibson and Young Players like Montour and Ritchie....Ducks must stand United in face of not only adversity but battle any bumps along the way....We may not win them all but I rather see they give it their all no matter what.
3.Dedication:One thing our Ducks are driven is their Creed that being Ducks "Dedication" that word may mean nothing to some but to us Ducks Fans from True Ducks Fan to Diehards and newbies they must never give up in the face of what is ahead. ignore the Doubters and naysayers for Together Ducks must uphold "Dedication" which is Legacy of not only Success but Perseverance.

November is around the corner and like October it's important not because it's 2nd month of 17-18 but the fact a 9 home games are schedule including a Homestand of 5 who knows what will happen. One thing I share with you and all Ducks Fans friends in Message Board,Facebook,Twitter and beyond Optimism in the Ducks and Hope they will push forward.

Anaheim Ducks at 6 games:My Thoughts

So our Ducks season has begun for where they stand at 2-3-1 5pts anyone surprise by the....."Slow Start". Personally I am not but if you ask me there is still need for improvement especially on Powerplay having 21 Opportunities scoring only 1 it's a Work in Progress. Much of it is due in part of Ducks not having Kesler,Lindholm and Vatanen who are recovering from injuries during the battles with Nashville. Getzlaf and Eaves they seem to be Day-to-Day we should not panic or assume things will fall into disaster......For the Anaheim Ducks at this stage of the season need to overcome this adversity is to remain focus,dedicated and stand United. Not let slumps get them considering Ducks are playing without core members of their group. We all share the love,passion and inspiration of the Ducks since their founding 24 years ago.

For me Ducks being in the position where they are at is nothing new for us Panicking at a time when it's still early in the season is.....jumping to conclusion. For whatever Ducks finish it's not set in stone. Like 24 previous Seasons before it's hard to predict where our Ducks will finish. 15 years ago if one ask me or any Ducks fans in Orange County California or worldwide Ducks will make it to the 2003 Stanley Cup Final....I would have dodge the question due to my superstitious nature. IF our Ducks can overcome adversity they face it must have Collective Will as I call it for every Player to contribute within Rank-and-File of the Ducks also most will call it "Depth" to reach within and get the Fighting Spirit Ducks have burn brightly.

I do not panick but at times I lose My patience with the Ducks over the years I develop a Thick skin. Whatever happens from here on end result in how Ducks will do. Do we as some say "Suck" without our Key players?......I disagree one thing is certain Ducks must Perserre to overcome the obstacle. As I say nothing is Easy in the NHL like life itself we must overcome.
