The countdown to the Anaheim Ducks season opener continues. As of today, there are only 40 days that stand between the Ducks and their first regular season game of the 2018-19 season.

While most of America is anticipating the return of the pumpkin spice latte, we’re getting ready for the best season of all, hockey season. The Anaheim Ducks still have a few things to take care of before the real fun begins.

The fate of Nick Ritchie is still undecided, he will need to be offered a contract extension if he has any hopes of staying in Anaheim. The rookie training camp starts on September 6th; their three-game tournament is scheduled for September 8-11. With the conclusion of the tournament, pre-season is set to start on September 18th.

The reality that hockey season is only a mere 40 days away comes with plenty of hopeful expectations. Ducks Nation is expecting big things from their teams this season, especially after all of the shock and awe we endured last season.

Although we have already passed the 42-day mark, nothing is going to stop us from taking a look at Josh Manson. I feel it is only fair that we backtrack a little bit and look at Manson’s 2018-19 season in review. He deserves lots of credit for the success the Ducks had last season. Manson, alongside Brandon Montour, played more games than any of the other men on the Ducks’ blueline. His drive and tenacious attitude out on the ice led to a wonderful season.

Here are some of the best moments and greatest accomplishments of number 42, defenseman Josh Manson, from the 2018-19 season.
