The Anaheim Ducks are just over a month away from the start of training camp. Chris Bushell has their three keys to a successful season.

After what has been an extremely long summer for Anaheim Ducks fans there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel. The Ducks will be back on the ice for training camp in a month and we will finally see what the 2018-19 team looks like. With that said, I am taking a look at three keys the Ducks need to bring a Stanley Cup to SoCal this season and beyond.

Now before you say it I know the easy ones. “Chris they have to pass, shoot, and score.” “Win the division, conference, and Cup.” Yes, I want all of those things, although the division doesn’t matter as much to me, these keys go deeper.

These aren’t keys to a game. They aren’t even keys for a given player or how to beat a specific team. No, these are keys and intangibles the Ducks need if they want to have any chance of bringing the elusive second Cup back to Katella Ave. And to bring multiple Cups thereafter.
