Finally! Can't wait to get started.

No work for our first 5 games of the season too, which will either be a great or terrible decision

 

[Kalv]

Omg. Lessssgooo

I expect us to be rusty tho. Hope to hang in there by the 3rd and then hopefully our guys would have their legs under them. Not dure that's how it works tho

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Finally. Whoever's responsible for scheduling, eff off.

 

[AngelDuck]

We’re back!

We’re the only team who hasn’t played a game yet(a lot of teams have already played 2-3 games) and we start on a road back to back.

Pretty embarrassing scheduling

 

[FlyingV09]

Washington plays their first game today as well.

I’m not sure condensing the already condensed schedule(4 Nations Cup) bodes well for our typically injury riddled Ducks. I’m too lazy to look it up but it sure feels like we get the shaft when it comes to scheduling year after year. Personally I think the teams that travel more miles should see a better schedule.

Oh well….Go Ducks!

*squealing*

I think the Ducks have only started the season in Anaheim 3 times? 4 times? In 30-whatever years.

Last two years NHL is probably like “just be happy youre starting your season in your home time zone.” 2 years ago we started at home only to immediately go off on a long east coast road swing.

With that said, I’m genuinely more interested in seeing how this year’s team does than I’ve been in a long time. Just really hope for once the injuries don’t take all the fun out of it right away and prevent guys from having big years.

More interested and more apprehensive.

Apprehensive
Hope is a helluva drug
Let’s go Ducks
Finally go time.
Now don’t fall off the bike and bang your knee young ones we need you healthy

 

[JabbaJabba]

Lets goooooo Ducks! New season, new opportunities.

 

[HanSolo]

God a week and a day. What a stupid ass wait. Glad it's finally over. Selfishly hoping the Ducks don't drain the tank tonight since I'll get to watch them in person against Vegas tomorrow night.

Not really fond of the lower case "s" b/c it looks too much like the letter j or y.

And finally, we're set to play! Let's go, Ducks!

 

[Leonardo87]

Tonight would be a perfect night for a Gauthier hat trick.

 

[Boo Boo]

Wait are we sure we want to do this

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Wait are we sure we want to do this

 

[Fighter]

Compared to last season's mid season lineup which was the worst in Ducks History, looking at this one is comforting.

Don't expect much but let's hope for some bright spots here and there.

 

[MMC]

Would’ve been nice if we could start the season when everyone else did since I gotta work tonight after having a week off
