As I write this down....Looking down at several road games our Ducks have Win,Lose and earn 1pt after OT. I wonder bout how this team has brought so many over the past 25 years to Ducks Banner by living in the moment and having those moments forever etched in our hearts,Minds and Soul. To me I had epiphany on this and it occurs to me that like all Sports teams...Anaheim Ducks,Our team,Our style of Hockey over past 25 years has been Our Strength,Inspiration and Motivation.Why I say this for many of us have endure countless times where things go awry in life...Be it bad day at work,anxiety,loss of family or other issues. Ducks have been not only our escape but sense of morale boost in our lifes...Be it Winning or Losing....Scoring Goals,HatTricks,Fights and Great Saves by a Ducks Goalie.
This team can give all Ducks Fan a reason to smile,Vent and talk about....Not mention be positive to pursue one's dreams or Do a Good Deed at work,in Life or reflect on the Great Victories or tough Losses they endure...Like Life there is ups and Downs. Often we learn like our Ducks in adjusting each season we like them are resilient. Each game Ducks play be it Home or on the Road more Fans are inspire,Motivated and see them as their strength. I do too many times no matter how we face Life there is always the Ducks that go through the turbulence of each season...For now as we wait for the Ducks to Battle Stanley Cup Champions Let's be grateful and be inspire by the team and the Players.

Ducks Honoring Selanne/Kariya's HHOF ,Vatanan Trade and Wild Wing Statue!: My Thoughs
Hello again My Friends It's been awhile....sorry for absence there were some Christmas shopping I had to do over the past few weeks. Anyways there is alot to cover and From Selanne and Kariya becoming First 2 Ducks inducting in Hockey Hall of Fame to Vatanen Trade and of course Return of Wild Wing Statue to Holy Grounds of the Ponda.
Moment Selanne and Kariya 2 Ducks Legends were inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame and by getting the Call to being honor by the team who both contributed so much to the Ducks combining 24 years of Tenure with the Ducks they have paved the way for Current Ducks today....Also it was reflection of many moments they have given all Ducks fans from OT Goals and dazzling Skills to Playoff Moments from Game 6 2003 Stanley Cup Final Goal by Kariya getting knockdown and Return to Score a Goal to Selanne scoring the OT Winner vs Detroit in Game 5 of 2007 Western Conference Final. One thing we can agree is both of them who are Ducks Legends have put our team on the map. Seeing their Portraits unveil at HHOF I had chills also had Chills when Ducks Fans gave Paul Kariya a Big Welcome back on Nov19th......I was emotional and honestly I personally Forgive Kariya for his Departure more on that on later Blog. Anyways one thing that would make it special IF and I say IF Ducks Retire No9......It would mean alot for this Diehard Ducks Fan who follow this team since 1993...Too bad Owner Henry Samueli Teased All Ducks Fans attended that Night with the suggestion. These who I call a Ducks Legend and Finnish Icon and another Ducks Great are Heros who inspire us......For me Personally they were my heroes.....like the Team itself they inspire to do more in my Life....Whether Ducks Retire No9 I will be there IF I get the Chance.
Most of you know now that Sami Vatanen Traded was not a surprise.....Some of within Ducks Fanbase from OC to worldwide knew Sami was Trade Bait from Ducks Message Board to Facebook and other parts of Social Media believe he is odd man out due to rise of Brandon Montour to Sami abit so-So under RC's Coaching style. Many of us speculate where he would go from Toronto to NJ all the way to being traded within NHL Western Conference....One thing we knew when Ducks trade a D-man another D will take their place. Goes along with my "Strength in Numbers" Outlook of Ducks Depth. It was abit surprise they got Center Adam Henrique,Joseph Blandisi and draft Pick in exchange for Vatman....in long Run of the Ducks 17-18 season it was justified due in part of Absence of Kesboss and Captain Getzlaf both out with Injuries that time. And Need for Forward due in part Ducks having Plenty of Defencemen As I said before in Ducks Message Board and Facebook and I say it again....Thank you for your Contribution Sami and Good Luck in NJ....Welcome to the Ducks Adam Henrique and Joseph Blandisi.
Finally We have Return of Wild Wing Statue...few years ago I was disappointed not seeing it on Holy Grounds that is the Ponda aka Honda Center but seeing it Courtesy of DucksNPucks not only brough Joy to yours Truly but happy to see it return...The "Defender" As it's Called will play a important Part next season for it marks 25 Years...Yes TWENTY-FIVE YEARS Ducks have been around in NHL and Hockey in General. 10 years ago I took my First Picture at Honda Center seeing the Ducks Live for the first time with Wild Wing Statue to see it back caps end to 2017.
As Year draws to end It's good to look at the Ducks 2017 year for not only we see 2 Ducks Hockey Hall of Famers but Return of Important Moument sacred to all Ducks Fans.....For now I will get back to you later...GO DUCKS!
