NHL Training Camp 2018 is fast approaching. With it comes the positive feel and promise that a clean slate provides. Here is where we get our first look at what the team can look like. It’s a time when fans get to play head coach for a few weeks.

It’s fun and happy, but this camp for our Anaheim Ducks will be different. It must be different. This will be the first of many articles regarding camp as we wait with high anticipation for the Ducks to take the ice.

As mentioned above, training camp always provides a fair amount of optimism. It’s a new season, a chance to turn in the page. While Ducks fans should have high levels of optimism when the Ducks begin camp a month from now, they should also need to see more.

More than just blind good feelings and blind faith that this team can do real damage. Somehow straddling that line between getting wrapped up in the negativity that some fans do,  and the head in the clouds optimist that some fans also get grouped in.

Ducks Nation needs to see things are changing, and changing in the right areas. So, in Ducks Camp 2018, don’t look at line combos, and don’t look for who they bring in for potential PTO’s. Look for these three things to feel good about the 2018-19 Anaheim Ducks.
