One can see as I do that month of march will be critical for this team to decide it's fate. No matter how we look at it our Ducks MUST not Give Up on themselves and each other. 26-25-10 62pts 4 to 6pts back of final playoff spot whatever happens here or in late March happens for a reason. Our Ducks are going through tough phase of the transition to the next generation who will take up the mental of the Ducks Cause. Will They succeed in my heart I KNOW and all Ducks Fans do this team can make it....For their fate is in their hands to hit the ground running and NOT look back. The One thing makes me is fact it feels like deja vu all over again. Last Year I was humble to fly to Orange County to see the Ducks win 2 out of 3 games. in 2 games that I saw they fought with relentless fury and determination to win in OT.
Difference now is prior to the Trade Deadline talk of Bobby Ryan Trade,Teemu Selanne Trade and others was unthinkable....at times made me think. I often ask WHAT do we get in return IF the Ducks do the unthinkable?. Why i say that is the fact the Ducks Big 3 aka RPG is vital to continuing the legacy of success Ducks have tasted and earned. Sometimes I wonder if the divide between Passionate Ducks Fans and others who call themselves experts were created due to the chaotic first months of 2011-2012 season. However I am no longer concern with this now.....IF Ducks can pull off a miracle by laying it all on the line from here till the end when I see them. I am confident they can Bring it to any team in March.
Then of course there is trade deadline. I have heard the rumors some of the far-fetch others extremely insulting. To me What needs to be done right now is the Ducks Stand Pat and NOT disrupt chemistry they to focus on getting to the Playoffs and there do whatever it takes to GO DEEP. This edition of our Ducks is flawed in the fact All Offense and No Defence mentality is our teams Achilles heel....Weakness as one say. It's true Ducks Defence has been questionable but we forget those like Fowler and Sbisa are young...Learning the Ways of Ducks Hockey that they will one day assume duties of leadership in the future. Will trade deadline help?....Not sure but it comes to a point when you ask veteran players needs to help them Beauchemin was brought over last year to add in the development of the Ducks Youth in Defence Corps. Is it possible for the Ducks to trade again?...I say know. Best they focus on Free agent frenzy then make a panic move...Trade smart and spend wisely. For all that matters I would nothing like then our Ducks to FIGHT TO THE END and give it their all for the Ducks Cause.

Ducks Gutcheck time
Every game is a Must Win for the Ducks! be it now or final game in April our Ducks have to do what is necessary to get the job done in earning a spot in the NHL West. Playoffs is 9 pts away. Can the Ducks do it I beleive they can....Let alone with the flaws they have at Defence Corps and times in Goal. Questions are raised but we know that if our Ducks are to make it then Collective Will is needed to get them towards the objective at hand.
Unfortunaly those who beleive other wise try to use crappy reason to explain why this team is not fairing well. Injuries,too much emphasis on some of the Ducks youth in bottom six is perhaps why Ducks did not do well as we expect them to be. Yet we can't dwell on something that has happen at the begining....What Happens happens for a reason. But we know in order to fix the flaw Ducks need to make some important choices. Must notably how to fix the Defence amidst struggles of Fowler,Sbisa and Sometimes missing key players within Blueline. Those who do not show any faith in the Ducks are "Experts" and "Know-it-All jackassess". To say the Ducks should trade Selanne,Getz or Ryan is a the Most ABSURD,Stupid and foolish plan ever. I rather keep this team intact and NOT let fear creep in.
Sadly those on the Ducks Message Board do not share this. I have seen how rudness of those who feel superior tends to be the most arrogant Pricks. Makes me wonder how the REAL Ducks Fans are but they are liars no more who see Doom and Gloom. Call me Stupid or foolish but I always feel this team against the odds they face Must make most of what they have in the coming weeks. Ducks at the Trade Deadline will have two choices...1. Win most of their games at the Roadtrip and make a minor trade in tweaking the Defence Corps or 2.Stand Pat and not blow up this team....Sadly those on the Message Board don't beleive that and are Full of themselves.
But I know in my heart as you all the Ducks gotta give it their all and Fight to the Bitter end. I know this season has not been what we want But it's important to support them no matter what. Oh one last thing i need to say "Fail for Nail" Slogan it is a Utterly BS!.

NEVER GIVE UP on the Ducks or yourself!
If many of us felt abit of deja vu from time to time each year our Ducks are in a situation not only familiar at times but unfamiliar in the position they are at. Having 2 wins in Nov before that Ducks starting with a 4-1 after games, then a coaching change makes things uncertain yet unpredictable in the coming weeks. As of now What we expected from the Ducks was NOT or something we saw in not only roller coaster but a chaotic season marked by whether or not Ducks tanking a season would be beneficial in getting the top 5 pick in this year's NHL Draft held in Pittsburgh. You know this "Fail for Nail" Slogan is nothing more then absolute BS to me. What is the point in using something to justified downfall of 11-12 season.....Sure Ducks are 8pts out but i rather see then Fight for a SPOT in the Stanley Cup Playoffs then let "Experts assume the worst. Let's be honest bout our Ducks situation.
8pts out of a Playoff spot, 29 games to go doe you Believe?....DO YOU believe in the Ducks and yourself?. Do you believe this team can do it?. I say YES since History that's right HISTORY within our Ducks for the past 19 years in 8 Stanley Cup Playoffs Berths 7 count them SEVEN have been when our team was struggling in the being and turn things around. Case we know is This edition of the Ducks is All Offense No Defence....Sadly they are flawed which we see in the past games from time to time. Suffice to say Consistency is lacking in effort or Depth in the bottom six...Strength in Numbers i have said is necessary and Ducks having alot of talent in the System they need to make something to balance youth with Experience.
So what do we do in the face of a disadvantage. We Do not give up on the Ducks for like life when WE the People be it USA,Finland,Canada,Sweden,Hong Kong and elsewhere face challenges we move forward and not look back. It's one thing to say "All is lost" and expect the worst but it's best We along with the Ducks believe in themselves. Most of the players are young and they are finding their groove. This 8 game winning streak will be a important test for the Ducks and Ducks Cause. One thing that is worst then a Ducks Loss is giving up on a season or Battles that lay ahead. I believe in my hear our Ducks can do it...They can make it to the Playoffs, rather have them battle with Honor and Pride for it then accept defeat!.

Anaheim Ducks Message Board:My Thoughs
10 Years......10 years I have been on Ducks Main Forum. 10 years of Upgrades,change and rise of so called "Experts within Ducks Fanbase. Everything change so good so very bad. It's no wonder that after all these years being banned from making new Posts based on the "Motivational Speech" BS i still linger sometimes i wonder if those "Experts" have so much power and the admin control words of what people like myself have said. It's a sad state of affairs sometimes it has SUCKED the life,passion and fun out of a great place to meet other Ducks Fans. I have been around as long as any have been on that Forum. I have no intentions of being pushed out the door as some have done to my friends and let rudeness display against my words for what it is.....The Main Forum is NOT what it once was. That is a unhappy fact. Something i must live with as others should do.
However being Banned from making Posts and being insinuated that I am a drunk is lowest form of insult by a pair of know it all Gutter-snipes who DO NOT respect others views on the Ducks. I love going there and discussing and talking bout the Ducks...But it seems clearly those PTB:Powers that Be want to impress outsiders more after Ducks won their First Stanley Cup. I admit I am over-passion bout this team and it's part of my life like Hockey itself. Suffice to say I do not let people like those who have a "Holier art Thou" outlook bug me. It;'s no wonder why a friend of mine was harass and it's no wonder who so many of my friends where harass by them.
Are they Ducks Fans you ask?...Yes but the represent part of a Fanbase who assume they know too much. Just because one does not know the rules but love the sport does not mean they are "Not knowledgeable"...It goes without saying all hockey fans including Ducksfans are different in how they see the sport and use terms to express their pride in Ducks and the Ducks Cause.
Thinking Positive is great and speaking with Common Sense is needed. Ducks Fans should agree to disagree not belittle each other as it's done now. Whatever Happens this season should not be look at a failure by all Ducks Fans....Trial by fire for the Youth is perhaps the best way. But to the "Experts" It won't surprise me if they dissect and try their "best" to speak what is the true outlook of what happen in 11-12. For me I remain but I will not BACK DOWN from these Condescending jackasses.

State of the Ducks Address
If there is One word to describe our Ducks 11-12 season it's this.....Unpredictable. I would not lie when I say and I know some would agree that we never expect the Ducks to have a 4-1 record after five games. Then earn 2 wins in November let alone struggle much in Dec till New Year's Day. No one within Ducks Nation and those who are Ducks fans would expect injuries to hinder our team that lead to questions of Trades,Coaching Change and YES division and where our team go from here. Yet we forget that one of the traits this team has is Resilience to overcome adversity....Against the odds our Ducks face and coaching change what it comes down to is courage,unity and Collective Will in all players to rely on each other in difficulties that lay ahead. What we see is a team that has endure,withstand and dealt with injuries,inconsistency and lack of depth that has plague our team in first 3 and a half months. Collective Will at times was never there..Since our team is going through the motions.
Changes,Transition and other words have thrown around in how to improve our Ducks and overcome the hurdle that is 11pts out of 8th spot. It's no wonder that with all uncertainty and questions what is next best course of action for the Ducks....Coaching change was imho part 1 of a two part problem but it seems to be removed now with the team being 8-1-1 earning 17pts and closing the distance slowly before Allstar break began. As you all know my views will never change in regards to this team pursing a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I am a Optimist and i feel like life Ducks must battle to over come the Odds stack against them.
It's vital they do with all Ducks Fans giving them 110%. Yes I am not from Orange County but i see a brighter future in regards to one of the most Successful Hockey Teams in California and of 1990's Expansion era. Ducks History as we know is unique and expectational.....It makes me SICK there are those from Ducks Message Board,Twitter and at times facebook who have a defeatist attitude towards our team. I do not question their loyalty. But I Question their Negative outlook....Sure it's great to talk bout "Fail for Nail" It's utterly stupid to bring out the need to "TANK" a season for a player. I rather they fight for a spot then fail or lose...It goes without showing that some Ducks Fans those "Experts" on Ducks Message Board and beyond have lost their way.
Since Stanley Cup Championship Victory 5 years ago...I have seen a change of attitude. Gone are the days of disagreement now there is Condescension,self-proclaimed know it alls belittle of each other's knowledge. Those who do this laugh and mock others including myself view on how this team should proceed in the coming games this season. Sadly it has been going on as long as i remember. Passion,Fun and unity at times has been sucked out thanks to individuals who have clammed down and try to control what people say with words. Does this reflect any Ducks Fans in O.C and elsewhere....NO. There are Ducks fans on Twitter,Facebook and other Message Boards. Who express their passion for the team and the game itself. I do however remain for reasons i will let you all know next blog. For now I am confident our Ducks can make it to the Playoffs or they can fight with Honor,Pride and Courage.

I Believe in the Anaheim Ducks
If We know our History of the Ducks and their battles of proving haters and naysayers wrong we know that in 8 Stanley Cup Playoff Appearances 7 out of the 8 times They earn a spot is when our Ducks were resilient and plow through towards clinching a Playoff berth each season. For me it seems likely and i hope the Ducks begin a tear to start their push for the post-season. I believe they can pull it off and rise for the challenge that is presented for them. Seeing the Ducks and hearing they have awaken from the slump they were in makes me confident and hope they can continue their push tonite and next two months before I arrive to see them in Orange County.
Can the Ducks make it to the post season?...I believe they can But it's in their hands right now with all that has happen from Coaching change to the inexperience of some of the players be it our Ducks sophomores or rookies. Injuries,inconsistency and coaching change. These adversities our Ducks face will unite them in determination and "Dedication" for Ducks Cause. Whether they make the playoffs or not as i always say remains to be seen. One thing that is needed to address is trade Talks. I have heard rumors...seen the proposed Trade Scenarios. Tolerate the BS talk from "Experts" on Ducks Message board and elsewhere. Not to mention the out of touch delusional talk from Leafs fans on some chat rooms and message boards.
Let me say this opening and get it off my chest. I DO NOT BELIEVE the Ducks will trade Ryan,Getz,Perry or Teemu...Saku who knows since both He and Teemu are untouchable. It bugs me yet i look at some of scenarios some seem right others are just stupid. Yet one factor that needs to be look at and that is age. IF the Ducks are to trade say Getz then someone equal should be sent in return. I would not mind Ducks get a Big D-man from the states be it Myers or Miller a goaltender. It would makes sense this edition of the Ducks for 2012 is all offense and NO Defense this season. If there are some players i like the Ducks to trade it would be Lubo for Stuart and Beauchemin or Brookbank for Draft picks
Next weeks and months will determine what our Ducks path will be Playoffs or no Playoffs whether or not they succeed remains to be seen. One thing I ask for the Ducks is finish strong and Ducks fans in Orange County support this team 110%. They may experience this funk in early part of the season but do not be surprise by their resilience. Ducks Nation is split down the middle some want a top ten Draft Pick others want Ducks to succeed as I do. One thing i hope many and All Ducks fans will never do is NEVER EVER let anyone outside of Orange County or elsewhere Define you as you are. Ducksfans,Angel fans and hell Bolts fans or Jiu jitsu fans. OC is a sports diverse area...I am proud to say it and respect the people in Orange County for their love of Hockey and sports.
Whatever happens...happens for reason for the Ducks we should not give up on them neither should the team. Sometimes going through a rough patch is a learning experience for those who will inherit the role of leadership. It builds character for our Ducks no matter what will Prevail and I hope when i arrive in Orange County in March will be in the thick of the Post season.

Ducks at halfway mark:14-22-7 35pts
Looking at the record after the Ducks win last nite. It makes me wonder what must be done for this team to get back to the top,after enduring a chaotic November.....Questions surrounding who will get traded right there to whether or not our Ducks may or may not get the first pick in 2012 Draft. one thing that is always a reminder for our team and Ducks fans as a whole. 2nd half of 11-12 season comes down to 3 things...Resilience,Never Giving up and Collective Will. Ducks History has shown since Day 1 of our Team's founding. If one can go back to the past and see that in the 8 Stanley Cup Playoff berths our Ducks have clinched. 7 count them SEVEN of them have been Teams under the Ducks Banner earn a spot in the Playoffs by overcoming all odds against them. Be it 1997,2003 or last year in 2010. History has shown the Ducks when against all odds can overcome then if the Will is collectively there when 23 players are Ont he same page and determine to prove the Doubters,haters and naysayers wrong.
Rest assure the win against Edmonton,Dallas,Columbus and NYI was not only sweet but a boost in the Morale of the Ducks and Ducks Nation as we continue the path towards finishing this season strong and hopefully with a Spot in Postseason. One thing that needs to be look at is the flaws that is so apparently within our Ducks ranks. Lack of depth or what i call "Depth strength" has been very troubling since bottom six has not been consistent over the past 41 games....What's more concerning is Top Line's inconstancy to take the lead and hit the ground running each game. Call it being "Top Heavy" but I see things that lead our team down this tough road and record they have shows not only inconsistency but injuries and sometimes inexperience has lead the Ducks to lose games THEY were suppose to win...Sadly it showed in the results.
But Let say this with a clear mind even though the Ducks are at 14th place with 35pts and with 39 games left I believe the Ducks can make it to the Playoffs....We should believe and support this team no matter what. For me it's best they Fight to the bitter end to earn that spot and try then "TANK" 11-12 season as some of the fools on the Ducks Message Board has suggested. Is this team the Worst you ask?...My answer is a resounding NO.
I see this edition of the Ducks as nothing more then a team of potential and talent. A team with alot of youth and some experience that is going through the motions,learning the duties that one day they will assume.....I do not believe the Ducks will trade any of the RPG in the 2nd half of 11-2. It will not only be devastated but a blow to the morale and betrayal of the Ducks Cause in General. IF our Ducks do make a trade it will be for either Lubo or Frankie to ensure transition/youth Movement started in 08-09 is a smooth finish. For now with 3 months left till 11-12 season ends I rather have the Ducks do whatever it takes to win and Show the Hockey World they have some FIGHT IN them!.
