I've been a Ducks' fan since around the middle of the 95-96 season, when I became a big Kariya fan. Selanne was another favorite so when he got traded there the next year, I've been a solid Duck supporter ever since.
The '03 Playoffs we a blast, especially the early rounds winning a lot of free alcohol watching the Ducks and Giguere pull some crazy upsets in pubs. After the Minnesota series though everyone started jumping on the bandwagon so that kinda sucked....too bad they came sooooooo close but lost (thanks in large part to Friesen in game 7 - how ironic).
I think if we roll with lines like:
Friesen - McDonald - Selanne
Fedoruk - Getzlaf - Perry
Niedermayer - Marchant - Lupul
Kunitz/Moen - Pahlsson - Hedstrom
(with Penner and Konopka I think being sent back down?)
Niedermayer - Beauchemin
O'Donnell - Salei
Vishnevski - DiPenta
Marshall
Giguere
Bryzgalov
for the rest of the season, we are in pretty good shape to sneak into the Playoffs this year
