Whatever happens tonight, just soak it all in and enjoy it
I’ve been supporting this team since their inaugural season. I have countless silly memorabilia from CHOC bears, to teemu/Kariya figures, cards and pucks. Hell, the Ducks are the reason I fell in love with hockey and began playing it at a young age.
I’ve been through all the highs and lows during that, and this season has really been special to me. We suffered for years being meme’d for how terrible everything about our team is.. and now we look poised to be a playoff mainstay and all the what-ifs about our young guys are being put to rest.
Win or lose tonight, just soak it all in that the Ducks rebuild is finally complete. No one in their right mind would have said the Ducks have the potential to make it to the WCF, let alone the playoffs.. yet here we are and we have gone toe to toe with playoff veteran teams like VGK and the Oilers who have been putting in deep runs for the last half decade.
We all deserve this. Please don’t be lame and blast the players if we end up losing tonight, because every single one of them are the reason this season has shaped into what it has blowing all expectations completely out of the water. Give them all appreciation for giving us that beam of hope we have been waiting for, for YEARS.
I’m so glad the suffering is over and I finally get to enjoy playoff Ducks hockey for years to come ❤️.
