To say that the Anaheim Ducks have been having a difficult season is an understatement. However, there is a lot to look forward to in the off-season.

During their game against the Vancouver Canucks, the Anaheim Ducks finally broke their third losing streak of the season. With a season record of 22-26-9, most of Ducks Nation is relieved that there are only 25 games left before the 25th Anniversary ends.

There is no denying that this season has been difficult for Anaheim Ducks fans. For the first time in eight seasons, the Ducks are in a position where the door to the playoffs has likely closed. Only six points separate them from the Ottawa Senators, who are currently last in the league.

Over the past 57 games, the Anaheim Ducks organization has sent us on an emotional roller coaster. We’ve had to suffer through three separate extended losing streaks. Although most of us have embraced the tank, it doesn’t make it any less difficult to watch.

We’ve also suffered through another season with Randy Carlyle behind the bench. To be honest, he should not have been allowed to return as Anaheim’s coach after they were swept by the San Jose Sharks in the first round of the 2018 playoffs, but Bob Murray let his pride get in the way. Although he has finally put his foot down, it doesn’t allow enough time for the Ducks to salvage the 2018-19 season.

Currently, the trade deadline still looms on the horizon. However, many fans are already anxiously awaiting the off-season. With the current state of the team, it is completely understandable. A lot of exciting things are bound to happen for the Anaheim Ducks when the current season ends.
