Ducks this week and the road ahead.

Ducks control their fate and we know they are in the driver's seat this week. Team knows what must be done and is expected of them to achieve a spot in NHL West's top 8 and secure a Post-season berth. Need is to use our strengths not only to set the tone but not let 3 teams standing in our Ducks way gain ANY momentum during this week. If the Ducks control what they have....It must come from all players united for a single goal and a clear purpose. Everyone from Ducksfans to Ducks themselves must come to realize these 3 games will determine the path they take. What it comes down to proving naysayers and Haters wrong. Honor gives Ducks a Driven Purpose,Pride is how we appreciate and admire history of our Team and Ducks Nation growing each month. Glory comes down to becoming not only Immortal in Winning but absolute Victory against our enemies and rivals in NHL West.

Truth is plain as day Ducks not only have to stay in the 7th,8th or whatever seed they finish. They MUST finish the season strong and continue momentum towards setting things right. Collective Will must be on full display Every player on the Ducks must contribute....There should be NO ROOM what soever for errors or Mistakes. Call it Gut-check time or as i use old Cliche "Battle to the bitter end" or "Now or NEVER". Each moment,each Game, each milestone Ducks reach be it Team or players set's us apart from the rest of the NHL in terms of History and defining ourselves as successful Hockey/Sports area or market. Often too many be it Trolls,haters and naysayers time and time again has define Ducks fanbase and Orange County as a whole...

Never less it goes to show they assume too MUCH and We should not give them the time of day to response to their ignorant statements. Ducksfans are what they are not because of a Unique name and colors but we support this team and see it through each season be it good or bad and at times ugly. 3 Teams that stand in our way Dallas,Nashville and Chicago must be made example of...If they cross our paths They must be run out of their arenas for their lives. Time is now is to TAKE the FIGHT to them and GET in their face.

Ducks vs LA:Epic battle between Rivals

If there is one word to describe importance of the Ducks/LA rivarly game tommorow it's Epic......Epic in importance of where Ducks will go from here. Yet amidst the rollercoaster of 10-11 our team Must make not only a STATEMENT but show LA true meaning of fear by making their time on ice absolutle Nightmare. 38-27-5 81pts is good but not good enough if our team has to break through and earn the spot for post-season. One thing that seperates our Ducks from the queens is the success and hard work this team fought for to earn not only glory but honor. Stanley Cup Championship,2 Western Conference Championships, Pacific Divison Championship,7 Stanley Cup Playoff appearances and two Stanley Cup Finals Appearance in 18 years is something many of us know to be proud of...Compare to LA which continues season after season of floundering one has to how 40 years can make this team hate us even more.

Stakes are high and whatever happens Ducks should come out stronger and NOT take our enemy lightly. I know rest of you do not like where the Ducks are but as the saying goes "Nothing comes easy" not even the seasons prior do the Ducks have to strive for to proof their worth by honor,Pride and Self-respect. Let me say this clear the battle will be epic and Ducks must TAKE IT TO LA from when the PUCK drops to when buzzer sounds. If the Ducks are to earn a Playoff berth they have to DESTROY not only LA but Calgary.

Leaving my heart,Mind,Body and soul in Orange County

As i look arcoss the Honda Centre aka Ponda i am left with a imprint on my heart and Soul. Ducks have never seize to amaze me once more the people i met during my six days have founding a unique impression on me. From Comebackteemu to Powerplayer Amanda. I have also was able to visit the Mission to put myself in those who live in the past...It was a beautiful site with a interesting history on Califorina as a whole...Once more i get to see the beautiful of the Areas in San Juan Capistrano,Anaheim, Irvine and Tustin. Taking pics and best of all getting Autographs of Teemu Selanne and Cam Fowler. Not to mention their pics too....I am left with absolute Happiness and joy at what i have seen,witness and watched Ducks Hockey so far. From Ducks winning 2 out of 3....Two wins being two Epic victories to the Weigh-ins and sound of Mexican Music for the Alvarez-Hatton Fight. The Atmosphere and positive upbeat of it's people....from Acjahmen i have met in SJC to eating at RA Sushi where the Ducks Sushi roll event occured. I am forever grateful and hope one day to able to live in such a wonderful place as Orange County.

To the folks i have not met i will return and hope to see you soon. Things move fast and those who live in O.C and watch our Ducks should be blessed but appericate Unique team that is front of us. Although they have their up and down moments Ducks will RISE again. For now as i pack and when i fly over Orange County........i will see the Honda Centre and know truly well Anaheim and Orange County is my Home.

Coming to Anaheim

Alot of things are going through my mind tonite. a Ducks epic win in OT,Seeing Honda Centre while flying over Orange County and taking a trip to the Mission for Personal reasons and interests. To be honest coming back and enduring the turbulence and shakiness was outweight by the Sight of the Ponda. I cannot tell you but i feel like i am home,Comfortable seeing the Ducks,People and looking around this great County. Honestly if you had met me i was in a euphoric happiness of seeing this team i follow in my youth and right to my adult age. Every moment i am here and at home in Halifax I think of those i met...Ducks who autograph my jeresy,took a pic with,talking to those who share my love,My passion and eternal loyalty to this team and Hockey....It's like i never left. As a old friend would say to me......It's like a old hat. Indeed i am always and will be humble being here from 2 to 7 days each year to reading bout events in Orange County. I am very happy and honor to know the people who enjoy this sport no matter what.

One thing i always hold true to my heart is speak on how this team those who follow must express and know there is a Ducksfan who is willing to be there to support his team. Utlimatly be it TV,Radio,Newspaper or Internet I know in my heart Ducksfans are EVERYWHERE. i look forward to the team Overcoming this adversity till then I abid you all well.

Moment of Truth

Be it through adversity or doing things the hardway. Odds are stacked against our team how will our Ducks answer back now on losing skid of 4 games. It all remains to be seen in the final weeks of the season. Trade i welcome in hopes it gives this team a boost in not only experience but a spark that will jumpstart Ducks Offense and Defence into turning things around. I know many on demoralized and question on whether Ducks make it or not is floating around....suffice to say everything after season or maybe season concludes must be ANSWER. However NHL West being so chaotic i must admit it is unpredictable on where this team will finish since everything is up in the air.

Losing skid should not cloud the Ducks judgment nor should it cloud ours....Last I check THERE is still some Hockey left and Ducks to make up lost ground IF they are to make it to the Playoffs. Whether they can get in remains to be seen...It all comes down to Collective will and desire to succeed. Issue of Goaltending with Addition of Ellis i hope will be solved tomorrow. As for Defence Corps THEY HAVE to get their ACT together in supporting the goalie. There is no turning back now for our Ducks every game is a MUST-WIN and everyone must step up that's including Getzlaf,Perry,Ryan,Fowler,McMillan,Sbisa,Sutton,Beauchemin,Lilja and hopefully Hiller once he returns.

Hopefully when the Ducks turn things around they will Fight for not only their hockey lives but Honor,Pride and Defiance till the Bitter end.

Ducks Trip:Week from now

I will be flying over to Orange County to see the Ducks Live once again for the 5th time in 4 years. It seem like yesterday and it felt as if i never left Orange County. Since my first trip to see the Ducks in March 8th and 10th 2007.....i always felt at home watching the Ducks play,beating down their rivals and winning over their opponents. Win or lose i always was drawn to the Ducks and Honda Centre*Ponda*. You know it always felt as my home....the people, the city and County is truly a sight to see. Ponda itself is a amazing place i adore like the Ducks i keep track of events going on from Cain Veslaquez winning ufc Heavyweight belt to basketball tourneys in the Good ol O.C.

I am hopeful by the time i arrive Ducks have regain lost ground and are back in the playoff hunt. Everything is unpredictable in the NHL West it's hard to expect what is next. Then again as i said on the Ducks Message Board it's the "New Normal". Whatever place Ducks maybe i know it is testing resolve of Ducksfans. Playoffs or no playoffs it is our duty as Ducksfans to see this season through.

Ducks in 5th Place

28-20-4 60pts....There is alot to smile bout seeing our Ducks has finish the first month of 2011 on a winning Note.Ducks know clearly in final 30 games they must move forward SWIFTLY and aggressively in closing the gap with Dallas and earn a Playoff spot. Collectively they must Win as one but contributing together and standing shoulder to shoulder AGAINST the odds or not win it all. Offense is spread out once Getzlaf returns....Whatever Ducks do I BELEIVE in my heart they should not let their Guard down from here till april every game,every team is and always is not only important BUT a Do or Die. For now let's enjoy the break and hope Ducks pick up where they LEFT off. There is still alot of Hockey to be played from here till end of april.

I look forward to seeing the Ducks SMASH and destroy Detroit,Dallas and Vancouver. All 3 games i attend imho are statement Games this team must make against the NHL and our Rivals in Pacific Division and NHL West. Trade deadline not that far away it appears to me Ducksw may choose two options 1.stand pat or be small buyers 2. trade for a D-man to stabilize their Defence Corps....some of the choices Ducks are rumored to be looking for from Tanguay to Regher are intriguing but as always i look forward to what will Ducks do next.
