The 2019-20 season is fast approaching. How can the Anaheim Ducks get back to their winning ways?

We have finally have made it to September, and that means we are one month away from the Anaheim Ducks taking the ice once again. The agonizing months of sitting on last year’s titanic collapse are over. Some players have moved on to other pastures, while most have stayed within the flock. Seeing some of the new skaters perform last year gave us some pictures to imagine the success this team might have seen if injuries didn’t ravage them.

Coming into this year, there are a lot of possibilities for this team’s success. The most important parts to look at are the younger prospects and their production, John Gibson‘s Vezina worthy play, and how they will fare against the rest of the Western Conference teams. One thing is for sure though, the puck drops in October and I want to give you as fans reasons to believe that this year can be something positive that leads to future success.

To start off, one of the main focal points to any team would be the production of the team. If there’s a lack of scoring or defense, they’ll most likely end up like the Ducks of last year. They suffered most from a lack of team chemistry, which lead to them being dead last in the league for goals for. So for this upcoming season, they’ll have to find that chemistry by getting the younger and older players to finally mesh together.
