Episode 88: Ducks Streak Snapped, Kings Catch Fire

The pace is up, the hits are down, and the plot is thick. Southern California hockey just delivered a week that flipped expectations: Anaheim punched above its weight behind Leo Carlson’s surge, while LA leaned on Corey Perry’s unlikely spark and Quentin Byfield’s OT touch to steal points in tough buildings. We sift through the noise to find the real signals—why the Ducks look legitimate even in a loss to Colorado, and how the Kings’ home/away split reveals a physical and special teams gap they can still close.

We start with a heater in Vegas and a tidy win over Winnipeg that showcased Anaheim’s maturing habits: controlled entries, smarter shot selection, and a second unit that finally threatens. Then it’s a reality check against the Avalanche that still offered value—discipline matters and details decide. On the Kings’ side, Kuzmenko’s scratch wasn’t drama for drama’s sake; it was a jolt meant to reset a skilled winger. Perry’s edge game changed tone in LA, drawing cheers from fans who once loathed him, and Byfield’s confidence is creeping into decisive moments. That sets up a bigger conversation: extend Adrian Kempe now or risk deadline roulette? We break down comps, leverage, and what a late deal could cost.

League-wide notes round out the picture with injuries and signings that ripple through matchups and power plays. Then we dive into game-by-game breakdowns with what actually moved the needle: Ducks’ special teams swings, Kings’ blocked-shot deficit, and which lines drove momentum. The rivalry stakes are rising, too—there’s a January back-to-back circled in bold. Expect more of what makes this fun: hard minutes for young defenders, elite pace from Anaheim’s top line, and LA’s structure grinding down mistakes.

If you’re here for the story behind the scores—development arcs, contract dynamics, and why standings in mid-November matter—you’ll feel right at home. Subscribe, share with a fellow fan, and drop us your take: are the Ducks ready for a playoff run, and what would you pay to keep Kempe in LA? Your comments drive the show, and we’ll read them live next week.

SPEAKER_00: 1:16

We'll have last week's games, predictions for next week, and we're going to recap the standings for you this week. So stay tuned. Stay here. And please, any comments you want, you have a question, please throw it our way. We will answer it live. How's it going, Cody?

SPEAKER_02: 1:55

I'm doing good. How are you doing, Dad?

SPEAKER_00: 1:58

I'm good. Can't well, yeah, it's been another rough week, but that's okay. I I guess we both had rough weeks at work last or this last week, but I'm happy I'm I'm here today. I have to go to work and be at work at 7 a.m. tomorrow. You have to be at work tomorrow. Yeah, we're behind on archive shipping. So the supervisors and manager are all going in for you know six to eight hours to um ship.

SPEAKER_02: 2:30

Oh over overtime.

SPEAKER_00: 2:32

There's no such thing as overtime on salary to borough. Sorry. No, I can take some time off during the week or in the ensuing weeks if I want to.

SPEAKER_02: 2:43

Oh, just to get that extra day that get that one day that you missed off.

SPEAKER_00: 2:47

Yeah, they don't they don't expect you to work more than 40 hours. I I do anyways, most of the time, because there's always situations coming up, and you know, it's a you know, it's really a team concept where I work, and you know, it you gotta be there for for the people that I support. Yeah, I know, I know Adam, it is just lost wages, but I I will get the time back, so that's uh that's it's all right.

SPEAKER_02: 3:20

Big Glenn, he says, Sup, guys, how you doing?

SPEAKER_00: 3:24

Hi Big Glenn, welcome back to Royally Quacked. So, how do we want to start, Cody? You want to do duck news first since I've been doing king king's news first most of the time?

SPEAKER_02: 3:35

I mean, I I'll do yeah, I'll do ducks, that's fine. Actually, before we start, we should have done this last week, partially. That's so it's my fault, but I just want to say happy uh a late veterans day to our veterans out there. Thank you for your service. Thank you for protecting us and making our country you know safe from yeah. Well, not just that, thank you to everyone out there for that.

SPEAKER_00: 4:04

I I think we do our poor veterans a disservice by giving them what two days. Yeah, it they're we're free because of them, yeah totally free because the Patriots. Oh, absolutely, yeah. Uh they deserve a month like a bunch of other people get a month, and some of them what is it like two months, and we give our veterans like two days. I I just think that's a travesty. It's not like there aren't other good causes out there, but you know, this country was built, you know, with the sacrifices from our veterans, so we should definitely give them more. And I hope that somehow, some way, um, the United States of America will realize that we we do give them a couple days, but it's not enough. If we're gonna give different nationalities a whole month, we should give our veterans a month. So amen. Hey Adam, I I think you got that that should be something the government supports and pays you, and you get a month off. All you veterans, though, not just Adam.

SPEAKER_02: 5:19

So, all right, let's go into the news, Cody. All right, so we'll get into uh Ducks news. Um, so Leo Carlson was named the NHL's third star of the week last week with five goals and four assists for nine points. So the ducks players had back-to-back uh NHL player of the week. So we had Dostal being number one the week before, and then Leo Carlson this last week.

SPEAKER_00: 5:46

So that's a pretty good week. Yeah, that's shocking that it's not a number one star for five nine points.

SPEAKER_02: 5:53

Well, that's I think that's mostly because um Nathan McKinnon had that nine-point weekend last weekend. Yeah, yeah, he had nine points in two days.

SPEAKER_00: 6:05

So you know he's incredible, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 6:09

No, and I believe he was the number one star, so I was like, I get that. Um, also, Leo Carlson is the fifth fastest player to reach 25 points in a season at the age of 20 or younger in NHL history with 15 games played. Telling you what what he's doing right now is amazing.

SPEAKER_00: 6:33

I I gotta tell you, the step up from that kid is incredible, Cody. Um I'm impressed with the with him totally. Oh, yeah, other than that five-minute major, yeah, with quotes.

SPEAKER_02: 6:50

Um that was just yeah, we heard what I said about that last week.

SPEAKER_00: 6:55

I I gotta say the ducks have been totally entertaining.

SPEAKER_02: 7:02

So this is about the the month off. I've argued that point at every job I've ever been with.

SPEAKER_00: 7:07

Yeah, I I I didn't want to interrupt duck news, yeah, because I yeah, I'm always interrupting duck news.

SPEAKER_02: 7:14

Yeah, you are. Um, and then uh last bit of Leo Carlson news. Um, Leo Carlson, who uh at the age of 20 years old and 320 days, becomes the youngest player in franchise history to reach 100 career points, passing Paul Correa, who did at the age of 21 years old and 109 days. Wow.

SPEAKER_00: 7:43

So could Leo Carlson become the greatest duck ever? I mean, he's shaping it up to be. It's looking great. Well, let's see what happens. This it's gonna this is an exciting season. I'm I'm hot hockey has been upside down this season in a lot of ways, and nothing what we expected, which is why they play the games because it you you you would think they weren't ready yet, yeah. But they're telling us a whole different story, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 8:19

No, and this this whole new coaching system and everything, it looks like it's just it's making them it's making everyone play better. I I've been impressed, yeah. Um, and then the Anahub Ducks have reassigned forward Sam Calangelo to the AHL uh affiliate, the San Diego goals, after he sat out as a healthy scratch in each of the last five games. So I I mean I I want to see Sam Calangelo up with the ducks, but I know with you know Strom coming back, Granling coming back, I know spoiler alert. Um, you know, and I mean Ross Johnson's been playing like better. I would say better. You know, he does have his moments still, but I mean, you can tell like he is definitely playing better this year than last year. Um and then, you know, like Nestoranko's playing great. And I I've loved the way he's been playing. He just has that nice, like great, like bottom six grit to him. So I'm loving it right now. I mean, it sucks for Sam Calangelo, but he needs to be playing. Let him, you know, get playing in the eight in the AHL. He'll probably get top six minutes there, be playing, you know, probably close to 20 minutes a game there, and let him get his scoring back. And hopefully when he comes back up when we need him, he'll be there and be playing well. So, and then uh next bit of news is Cutter Gaudi reached a hundred career games, and I've never seen such a lopsided um difference between his first 50 games and his last 50 games. Are you ready for the stats, Dad? I'm I'm hanging by a rope. I'm not gonna comment on that. Um, in his first 50 games, he had seven goals and 14 assists. His last 50 games, 25 goals and 20 assists. So in those last 50 games, he was a little a little under a point of game player, not quite there, yeah, but still pretty close for you know someone in their second full season.

SPEAKER_00: 10:45

So so kudos to the little ball of hate for trading for him.

SPEAKER_02: 10:50

That that's probably one of the best like moves, I think, for B because none so far. I mean, probably drafting Carlson and then this. There's a uh is it large, large ball of hate, or is it big? There's a big ball of hate and a little ball of hate. I forgot who the large or the big ball of hate is. I I can tell you exactly who it is. Ray Ferraro. I believe that's what I remember hearing that. They were talking about that on the on the sheet with Jeff Merrick, like this last week or so.

SPEAKER_00: 11:24

Well, he had um Jesse Cohen had him on all the kings men. Oh, that's very interesting. He's an interesting, you know, these hockey players. Some of them, I mean, they're just incredibly gifted because I mean he had a lot of info to give. Well, he's he's actually a broadcaster, yeah. So, I mean, he he and Jesse let him just talk out the whole thing. I guess they were teammates, and he and he told him, he goes, or that they I think they room, they were rooming, and um he's he would tell uh he told obviously the the all the kings men audience that you know I might be the big ball of hate, but the little ball of hate is meaner than I am. And he goes, When especially when it came to the remote for the TV. So I just found I found him totally interesting.

SPEAKER_02: 12:25

Yeah. So and then uh last bit of duck's news is Ryan Paling uh was sidelined with an upper body injury that he suffered in practice. Uh, he did miss the last game against the Red Wings. Um, and there is no timetable for return.

SPEAKER_00: 12:44

Well, you know the funny thing? Hmm, I think they missed uh the his defensive aspect because they gave up quite a few goals to Detroit, did they not?

SPEAKER_02: 12:55

Yeah, uh, I definitely noticed a difference. I mean, it was also, you know, again, spoiler alert, uh, Strome's first game back. That was his first game of the season. And you know, he looked he looked rough. I'm not gonna deny it. Um, and then also in the Instagram Live, uh, Santana West says, Let's go, ducks. Amen to that. Um, but yeah, no, I agree. Like, there was his presence missing, and I know he's a good and he's a decent face-off guy, too.

SPEAKER_00: 13:30

Yeah, so he's a little a little bit more than you were probably expecting on that trade with for Zigris. Yes, he's he's that he's a role player you guys needed.

SPEAKER_02: 13:42

Yes, no, uh, there is no doubt about that. It was just it could have been paling in another player, like I know.

SPEAKER_00: 13:51

We're not we don't need I I understand that there should have been more.

SPEAKER_02: 13:55

All right, let's go on another another rant about this trick. So but no, but that uh concludes the the ducks news.

SPEAKER_00: 14:06

Okay, on to King's news. Kuzmenko benched bots anyone? Oh my god, I should have had the dun dun dun. Yeah, you should have. Um you know, I I he's had a history of being like really good or disappearing. And it seems like he's been disappearing, I think, this season more than he's been, you know, that guy that helped the power play be one of the top power plays after the trade deadline last year. Um maybe it's just hey, dude, you got to get your game going. Um, we'll see what happens with that. I'm I'm I'm curious to see what's gonna happen. Is he gonna get benched today against uh the senators? I believe they're in they're in Ottawa, right?

SPEAKER_02: 14:59

Yeah, the the that nation's capital.

SPEAKER_00: 15:04

I believe so. They're in Ottawa. So I know there's been a lot of news about this next part, but I'm gonna tell you right, right now, is is Cory Perry melting the Kings fans' hearts right now? I mean, comes back from injury after nine games. He was a point of guy player for a fourth liner, you know, and I know Cody, you had a lot of years of being a huge Corey Perry fan, you know, and he does things that just not that many people do as well as he does, and he's 40 years old. Yeah, I mean, I know someone we've had on this podcast has been a hater of him, but I I I I Eddie, I think your heart's melting a little bit for Cory Perry even the last few times I've heard you talk about him on um on the puck on Kings.

SPEAKER_02: 16:07

I got you should have heard what he said on the puck podcast. He told Doug, he's like, I think you're right. I caught myself cheering for him.

SPEAKER_00: 16:14

Yes, absolutely, and I think he's doing that to the city of Los Angeles and all the Kings fans. Uh, I'm surprised by it. I hope it continues. He has been one of the biggest bright spots of the season so far. So, you know, let us know, Kings fans. What do you think about Corey Perry after hating him for 20 years?

SPEAKER_02: 16:40

So, well before you move on to the next one, sure. So there's a podcast show that you're talking about me for a bit. I just saw that.

SPEAKER_00: 16:53

Um, so the Adam, I think I think it correlates, it really does. Sorry, Corey.

SPEAKER_02: 17:00

I mean, Cory Perry, Adam Broll.

SPEAKER_00: 17:04

Um I'm taking sorry Adam, I'm taking Corey Perry.

SPEAKER_02: 17:09

Oh wow. Um, so there's a sh there's another hockey show called What Chaos, and just after the Kings home opener, they did like a little um like um like a tour around the LA King store, and they they got like you know, not special treatment, but they got to like kind of make their own customized um King's jerseys. So one of the guys, um Pete Blackburn, he he was actually one of the guys on the um that talked during the the face-off show for on Amazon Prime for the hockey.

SPEAKER_00: 17:48

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02: 17:49

So you you'll see him on there. Um he got a Cory Perry jersey with the with the new alternate jersey. And he asked, he's like, Hey, how many of you how many of these Cory Perry ones have you made? And they're like, This is the first one. So he got he got literally the very first Corey Perry uh jersey made for the the Kings. And then the next guy, um, I believe his name is DJ Bean, he got a Cody CC jersey, and the the same third jersey, and he's like, Well, how many of these have you made? They're like, first one. So they both got they both picked players that were it was their the first ever the first time that they made those customized jerseys there. Interesting, yeah. So and they did a full tour, they did one for the Anaheim Ducks. Like I said, it's a great show to listen to. They're they're they're a lot of fun. So um, let's see, and then Adam says, I was talking about hating Perry. You talking about Eddie. Oh, you talking about Eddie? I thought it was about me. Not everything's about you, Adam, okay. All right, you can continue with your that that's not gonna go away. I know.

SPEAKER_00: 19:10

So we were home games last season. We were the best in the NHL. I think right now we're the worst in the NHL. Away games this season. I think we might be the best away team right now. I don't know why last season it was the I mean the two seasons ago we were a better away team than home team. Last season, home was awesome, away wasn't as good. And this season we're back to the switching it a back? I I don't get it, but all I'm as bad as I think the season's gone so far, we're not in a bad place. I'm I'm a little shocked where we're at, um, which we'll talk about in the recap of uh the standings later. But that's just I mean, can anybody explain why that happened?

SPEAKER_02: 20:11

You guys have the second best away record. Okay, but all but only literally by a game, the New York Rangers are eight, one, and one away, and you guys are eight, one, and two.

SPEAKER_00: 20:29

Oh, so it's one overtime loss.

SPEAKER_02: 20:31

Yeah, you guys have one more loss, but yeah, they can't win at home either. Yeah, they're one you guys are one, four, and two at home, and they're one six and one, but at least you guys have scored more home games in one game than they have done in like eight games.

SPEAKER_00: 20:50

That's weird, yeah. Well, now to my next thing. Why are we waiting to sign Adrian Kempe? It's just gonna cost the kings. I don't know. I got about what 12 dollar signs after that in my notes. So why are we waiting? I mean, other things also talking about Adrian Kempe. Supposedly negotiations are heating up about time. I mean, come on, Holland, get your act together, and then I'm seeing all this news about teams wanting uh Brant Clark. And supposedly we're not interested in trading him, so he's uh I know a restricted free agent, but I mean, look at Lane Hudson. I mean, he's he's not quite got the stats that he has, and um Luke Hughes signed all big contracts. I mean, why don't if we're gonna believe in this kid, let's get him signed. It doesn't have to be the nine million everybody else got, but you know, give him six. Yeah, sign him, let's sign him. And I don't know, you guys can in comments let me know what's you think. I think we need to sign these players, you know. Jesse Cohn and God, how it was it? It was uh I can't remember who he had on, but they were talking about um, you know, if you were Adrian Kempe's agent, would you want to sign right now? Because basically everybody big re-signed already. So maybe you'd want to wait and see what the free agents, you know, what everybody else is willing to give him.

SPEAKER_02: 22:53

Well, the only thing is you if he does that, you also lose a year on the contract.

SPEAKER_00: 23:00

You know, if you get the money you want, who cares? True. You know, I mean, the I think honestly, he wants to sign with the Kings. I'm hoping he does sign with the Kings, but if if he doesn't and he goes free agent and goes somewhere else, you're looking at rebuild. Oh because Kopi's gone, Kempe's gone. You're gonna rebound, uh rebuild around Clark and Byfield La Ferrier. You know, you you have some good pieces that people would want, like uh Dano's a good, you know, third line center. You have you know, even Fogle would bring something, you know, and maybe you could get all right. You think he's he's gone at the deadline, okay.

SPEAKER_02: 23:48

All right how this dad, if you guys are out of a playoff spot, like things just went completely downhill for you this season, would you trade Adrian Kempe at the deadline? If in especially if you knew he was not gonna sign with the with the Kings.

SPEAKER_00: 24:06

Well, okay, it happened Matt Roy, it happened um Gavrakoff. I mean, if we know he's not gonna sign, I I don't think you have a choice but to trade him if he's not willing to sign with you.

SPEAKER_02: 24:23

I will give you a send and a third for Kempe.

SPEAKER_00: 24:28

The human traffic cone and a third pick. Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_01: 24:32

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00: 24:33

All right, you heard it here? I'll tell you, I'll tell you what. The renegotiation on that. Um, we will trade you Adrian Kempe for Leo Carlson and Cutter Gaul. No, no, it's a fairer trade than you gave. I know. Could you imagine Leo Carlson byfield? You have a one and a two, either which way uh would go.

SPEAKER_02: 25:04

Uh Adam's, hey, at least I give you a third. Adam said he would only give you uh Johnston.

SPEAKER_00: 25:11

Yeah, the human pylon. Yeah. Sure, Adam. Like, we're gonna buy that one.

SPEAKER_02: 25:21

Never listens to this because then if I ever meet him, he's like, So you're the guy that calls me the human traffic cone?

SPEAKER_00: 25:26

I'm like, no, I'm waiting. I'm I'm waiting for him to like make a comment. If anybody ever tells him, yeah, you call him the it was him. Well, you he calls him the human pylon. You call him the human traffic cone, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 25:41

Same thing in a way, although the orange and the that's why I came up with it, and then hey Kevin, looking good, fellas. Hope you guys are having a good episode. It was much it was a much better week than last week for the Kings fans.

SPEAKER_00: 25:59

I yeah, that was true. Absolutely very true. So, well, let's get well let's get off that and go to league news, Cody. You want to start or you want me to? You start because it's your favorite uh former Kings player, yes, capitals forward, Pierre Luc Dubois, PL Dubois will miss three to four months after undergoing surgery for abdominal uh adductor muscles. Those are core muscles, if you guys don't know. Um, yeah, we'll send you uh I got a better trade. I'll send you a lot and uh and hellanius for uh Leo Carlson. Pass. So, anyways, uh you know you're you're you're that's a core injury, that's why it's three to four months. I mean, I don't wish any ill will towards any player. Um, was it all his fault? I I'm not even sure. It was a bad trade for us, no doubt about that. I mean, he he played well, I thought, for the Washington. It was good for him, and Kemper was in the Vesna race, so I think it worked out, it all worked out okay.

SPEAKER_02: 27:13

Well, yeah, you also got what three million less per year, and then uh whatchamacallit and a what three less million a year, and then three what three less years of a contract. All right, true. Someone uh do sick 3805 says any hypothetical trades between the two teams you'd be willing to make? That's a good question.

SPEAKER_00: 27:41

Yeah, because I'm not sure we're gonna come to an agreement unless you're gonna give a fair uh my my trade was at least somewhat fair. Yours was oh yeah, my a traffic cone and a third pick.

SPEAKER_02: 27:55

Okay, how about this? Uh Minti. Oh scope, Minchikov, Colangelo, and Leno, and a first round pick for Kempe. Would you do that?

SPEAKER_00: 28:18

No.

SPEAKER_02: 28:19

Okay. Was that at least a better fair trade?

SPEAKER_00: 28:22

That was that was well way better than a traffic code.

SPEAKER_02: 28:25

Well, I I know that one I was being I was doing a joke on, but this one I was.

SPEAKER_00: 28:29

But you're talking you're talking you're you're giving us a lot of defense and you're giving us Okay, how about this? All right, fourth line player.

SPEAKER_02: 28:37

All right, Mint Mintikoff. We'll do Vitrano first and Roger McQueen for Kempe. I think about that one. As much as I would love to have Roger McQueen, but you know Well, you think about this.

SPEAKER_00: 28:58

If say that it did happen and he became what they think he might become, you you would have 1A, 1B centers at 6'5 and talented. That could be that could be dangerous. But what I would say for the first part of it, you guys would win that trade. One thing uh Kempe is better at than anybody you guys have is playing two-way hockey.

SPEAKER_02: 29:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 29:34

I mean, if anybody's close to being like Kopatar and being, you know, that uh great defensive player, it's him.

SPEAKER_01: 29:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 29:45

So and then again, that that could that could set you guys another step above. Yeah, it's it that would be interesting. I would think about that one. I'm not sure I would make that one. I I like Kempe. I want to keep him. I think he him, Byfield, Clark, you know, some of these other guys are are okay. Adam's making trades now. Solberg, Strome, Prospect, and a second pick for Kempe and Dodie.

unknown: 30:19

Doty.

SPEAKER_00: 30:20

That that would be the fighter you guys need.

SPEAKER_02: 30:23

Yeah, not Kempe, but Dodie. I don't want Dougie's 11 million a year. Uh I I not Doughty, Dotie. Who's Dotie?

SPEAKER_00: 30:36

He's he's on the rain.

SPEAKER_02: 30:38

Oh, okay. That's probably why I don't know. Assuming that's what he meant. Oh, okay. I thought he meant just a short for uh Dowdy. Okay, so I didn't know that. Okay, so I I don't know who that is, so I don't know about that trade. But I know Adam's a ducks fan, so I know he probably wouldn't make a stupid trade for someone like that. Oh, Jacob Dougie, an AHL fighter. Okay, uh, we also got uh uh other comments from uh Odin 33356. Everyone's equal unless it's sports or singing, and everyone loves the same. Yeah, so put the uh the clowns on the left, the jokers on the right, work together to sacrifice.

SPEAKER_00: 31:19

Well, they they actually did do that, didn't they?

SPEAKER_02: 31:22

Yeah, and then uh dude said ha ha ha. I I love it. I hope you guys are having a great morning. Oh, we are man. We're we're we're talking about hockey. I get to do it with my dad every week, so I love this day. I love I you know, Adam.

SPEAKER_00: 31:36

Uh uh, it a second, it would have to be a first to even think about that one.

SPEAKER_02: 31:43

So for this one, the uh Solberg, Strom prospect.

SPEAKER_00: 31:48

It would have to be a first, or maybe two firsts. Because you're really you're giving us a possible decent defenseman. Um I think he's gonna be something in the NHL Solberg, but Strome is a third fourth line center at best. So I mean Kempe is a top 20 forward, yeah, that plays defense and penalty kills.

SPEAKER_02: 32:17

Oh speaking of Kempe, uh, I forgot who was I I this was not me. I've heard it on one of the I like I listen to too many hockey podcasts, but they were saying, can you imagine for Sweden at the Olympics? Your top line is William Nielander, Leo Carlson, and Adrian Kempe.

SPEAKER_00: 32:40

Oh, they're gonna be a force to reckon with.

SPEAKER_02: 32:43

That's a deadly first line. Oh, I totally agree, and two-thirds of it is uh is Kings and Ducks.

SPEAKER_03: 32:52

Yeah, yeah, that was it.

SPEAKER_02: 32:54

I I'm like I'm like that would actually be a very good line because Kempe is very like he's probably like the good defensive player. I mean, I think Carlson's probably better defensively than Kneelander is, but I mean you got a play driver with you know Nylander and Carlson, and then you got the guy that can shoot the lights out with Kempe, and he can also play very good defense, too. That's gonna be a great if they if that line hits, Sweden can go pretty far, is you know, depending on the rest of their lineup, but that's a pretty good first line.

SPEAKER_00: 33:29

Yeah, that well, yeah. Sweden's always a uh a threat.

SPEAKER_02: 33:34

Yeah, all right. We should probably get back to league news.

SPEAKER_00: 33:37

Let's go.

SPEAKER_02: 33:38

Um, Ryan Nugent Hopkins will miss about a uh a week with an undisclosed injury. They didn't say what, so we'll just say full body soreness, as uh Lou Amarello used to say.

SPEAKER_00: 33:52

Okay, and the color Colorado Avalanche have linked inked goaltender Scott Wedgwood to a one-year extension valued at 2.5 AV. He's playing great right now. I could tell you that. Well, the i right now, if I had to tell you, I think the avalanche or the and the power rankings would be number one. Yeah, they they look tough.

SPEAKER_02: 34:21

We'll see if that continues. Yep. Um, while forward, Marco Rossi is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks with a lower body injury. He's been trying to play through it since he initially uh getting hurt on October 18th, and that was per uh Russo. And I know I know Russo works uh closely with the wild, so it's a really good source for if it's anything wild for sure. And if you want to knock out the if you want to knock out the next two since they're kind of similar, okay.

SPEAKER_00: 34:53

Uh we got if you're Montreal Canadian fan, we got some a couple things here. Not good for you guys, of course. Canadians forward Alex Newhook will miss four months after undergoing surgery for a fractured ankle. Oh well, you have to have if you have to have surgery, that's that's a bad ankle injury. Yeah, and then also uh Caden Gooley will miss eight to ten weeks after undergoing surgery for a torn adductor. Wow. Oh, and you you get uh Mr. It seems to be Mr. Fragile of the Hughes family, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 35:34

With the players and prospects given, a second is warranted. If if you want a first, less return needs to be given. I mean, I'm okay. I I mean I I would say about a first. I would say is fair. I mean, we are giving them strome on that one uh this trade.

SPEAKER_00: 35:59

Yeah, it depends on who the prospect would be. Like Roger McQueen, then you we could talk.

SPEAKER_02: 36:05

You're gonna have to throw well if you want right, it's probably gonna be more. But um, devil's forward, Jack Hughes suffered a hand injury at a team dinner on Thursday night. Uh, his timeline of return is not yet known. Wow. All right, hold on. Before we get into the last one, um Deuce 3805 says, anyone you'd like from the AHL to be called up to your respective teams. Personally, I can't wait to see Green Tree can do it for the Kings. Well, Green Tree isn't on the AHL. Uh yeah, he's still playing in juniors.

SPEAKER_00: 36:45

Well, if if Cody's scenario would play out where the kings are, you know, they're not gonna assign him, he wants to go somewhere else, and we say make that trade. I think green uh picking up Green Tree, bringing up, let him try. I mean, because he seemed the last two years to be a little more advanced than Beckett Seneca, and and just in the way he played, he was one of the leading scorers and uh in the AHL. He had 119 points. Um, but that doesn't mean that'll play into the NHL game, and I think Seneca's looked great. Um, but I'd sure like to see Green Tree. I he will definitely be on the AHL next year, and they were hoping to get a waiver, you know, or put the rule in for next year, maybe early, so he could have played in the a hl because playing in the uh juniors isn't helping him any. I mean, he can just go dominate. Yeah, you're not gonna get that much better dominating guys that you're way better than, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 37:57

So and I I honestly wish that rule would have started this year for the each team to have one 19-year-old. Yeah, because I I I agree, like, and I and who knows if that rule would have happened, we wouldn't be seeing Becca Seneca up with the ducks, he would have been in the with the goals this whole time, and I but and and I and I still think and I think Green Tree would have been great, like he would have been perfect for this role, especially with the whole uh yeah, because I don't think he needed to be there, he doesn't need to be back in juniors, he's not it's not helping his game, yeah. Um, like but I mean it's probably not hurting him either, but it's probably not it's just you know making it harder for him to progress a little faster, yeah. Because he could have been playing with better quality um competition and making himself better in the long run. Um so you so for you, who would you bring up from the rain to the kings right now?

SPEAKER_00: 39:09

I'm not sure I would bring anybody up right now.

SPEAKER_02: 39:13

I mean, is there someone scoring at will for the rain right now that you would like to have up? Is there anyone that's like, oh, he's definitely playing better defense than Cody CC is right now or Brian Dumlin? I don't know how everyone's doing there, to be honest.

SPEAKER_00: 39:26

Well, Doomlin's been playing better since they switched up, and then um they they put those two back together and they've played better. So it might have been this they were having system issues, so they both put um they put Doomlin with Dowdy and um CC with uh Anderson, and now they're they seem to be play playing better as a team, so they put them back together again. Um God, uh they're the the Rainer younger than they've been in years. So you know, yeah, I Adam, if if it would be anybody, we'd probably bring up probably a kill thomas.

SPEAKER_02: 40:11

Glenn Godin's not in the duck system, he's in the king system.

SPEAKER_00: 40:17

Uh, I don't know if he still is. He may he may have he may have switched. I don't know. We could look that up. Why don't you look that up and I'm gonna give the next piece of news? All right, go for it. So we regret to inform you of the passing of Larry Brooks, uh legendary hockey writer and hockey hall of fame inductee. Brooks passed away on Thursday morning at the age of 75 after a brief battle with cancer. Brooks dedicated 50 years to journalism, joining the New York Post in the 1970s. Initially covering baseball, he shifted his phone uh focus to the NHL and the New York Rangers in the 1980s, a role he has held to this day. In recognition of his contributions, Brooks was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2018 as the recipient of the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award. He was also recently uh named the 2024 Co-Sports Writer of the Year for New York State by the National Sports Media Association.

SPEAKER_02: 41:26

That was a massive it's sad because I I know he was a big Rangers uh reporter, and from what I've heard so far, like a lot is like he did not care what anyone had to say about his work. He posted what he wanted to post, he didn't care about the backlash.

SPEAKER_01: 41:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 41:46

So um it's so sad and to hear to hear about his passing. Yes. Um by the way, um, yeah, by the way, Glenn Godon is part of the Ontario reign. So for the ducks, I pro I would have to go with either Tristan Lunau or uh Solberg would be my two. He said, Oh, Cerberg or or or Washi. I wouldn't mind Washi too. I forgot about him down there.

SPEAKER_00: 42:20

Got Gotten is gone.

SPEAKER_02: 42:21

He wasn't there in the first place, Adam. You're the one that said he went for ducks. All right, ready to ready to get into uh game recaps? Let's do game recaps. All right, uh, I'll go first since I got four games and you got three. Let me pull sounds good to me the first one. All right, so the ducks started last week in Vegas on Saturday night, and we play the Vegas Golden Knights, and we all know as Ducks fans, we do not play well against the Vegas Golden Knights, especially in Vegas, and let's just say it didn't start off very well either. Um, I would say the first probably good 10-15, 10 uh yeah, 10 minutes or so, it was all Vegas to start, and then the Ducks really got their feet together. But uh Brett Howden got uh got the scoring start in this game, uh, scoring at the 547 mark to make it one nothing. But then Frank Vetrano gets his second of the year assist from Olin Zellweger and Jacob Truba, and he ties it on a tip-in shot at the 1549 mark. So we we are tied one after one, and then Leo Carlson continues his tremendous season with the seventh goal of the season, assisted from Troy Terry to take a 2-1 lead at the 1039 mark on a backhand shot, and then again, Leo Carlson with his eighth of season assist from Olen Zellweger, um, makes it 3-1 Anaheim, and that was at the 1650 mark, and that was off a snapshot. And then the third period was not a good period for the decks. Um, Pavel Dorfev, or Zekalum Pavel Skorodev, uh scores on the power play his 10th of the year to make it 3-2 Anaheim, and then Caden Korzak uh gets his second of the year, and now we're tied 3-3 after 3, and then we go into overtime, and it was pretty back and forth. Uh and did you what do you did you already look at this game, dad? Did you watch it or anything? Um the Vegas game against the Ducks. I did watch a little bit of it. Do you know who scored the game winning goal then?

SPEAKER_00: 44:49

I don't remember who scored the game winning goal.

SPEAKER_02: 44:52

So if you had to take a guess, who do you think scored the game-winning goal in overtime for the ducks? Or if you had a guess, I'd probably say Carlson. You would think Carlson, but no, Jacob Truba. You know what? On a very good play, yes, that it was a very good play, I will say that. Um yeah, no, oh, you did go to the game, lucky. Um, yeah, so Jacob Truba scores his fourth of the year to get the overtime winner. Leo Carlson got his 15th assist on that play, so the ducks win four to three in Vegas. Um, Adam says Godon was with the ducks from 22 to 24. No, I remember him within the ducks system, but I'm just saying he's not in the duck system anymore. He's he hasn't been like two, I think it was like only for one or two years that Godin was here. Uh, and then Adam was like, I was at the Vegas game, it looked way better live than the highlights showed. No, I bet uh it's always better to watch it live. We all know that. Oh I'm good, I swear. All right, sorry about that. All right, so the ducks got outshot this uh game 39 to 29, lost in the face-off percentage. What a shock! Uh, 55 to 45. The ducks were 0 for 1 on the power play, but uh Vegas was 1 for 3 on their power plays. Um, six penalty minutes for the uh ducks. Uh 18 hits were pretty close, 18 to 17 in favor of Anaheim. Anaheim had blocked uh 21 shots to Vegas' 13, 19 giveaways uh for Vegas, 16 for the Ducks, and then 13 takeaways for Vegas and five for the ducks. But the ducks take the first game of the seas of the three-game season series. That's so funny. They only play three times this year, and then the three stars of the game. Uh, number three star is defenseman uh Kaden Korzak with the one goal. Leo Carlson is the number two star with two goals, one assist for three points, and the number one star is yours truly. The the big Truba train himself with the one goal, one assist for two points. So wow that there's your three stars of the game in the first uh game of the week for the ducks.

SPEAKER_00: 47:27

Okay, so the king's first game in Pittsburgh against the Penguins, and the Penguins just seem to always have the King's number. I it's hard to remember. I mean, last year I think we lost to him both times we played him, and even the year before, although I might be mistaken. Maybe it's just I feel like Sydney Crosby has our number. Um, but let's go to the scoring in this game. Uh, in the first period, the first goal is scored by Tommy Novak. His second from Malcolm is 18th, and Witherspoon his fifth on a wrist shot at the 848 mark to put the penguins up one to nothing. Just about uh what six minutes and ten seconds later, Anze Copotar on the power play gets his second from Fiala, his fifth, and Corey the Scory Perry, his fourth assist on a wrist shot, tying the game one-one. We go to the second period, and then again it seems like it's like another back and forth. Anthony Manta gets his eighth on the power play from Latang's seventh, and Kavunan is second on a wrist shot to put the penguins up two to one. That's how the score ended it after two periods was two to one or uh two to one um penguins. But there again, there comes Cory Perry with his seventh from CC as third, and more is second on a wrist shot with at the 449 mark, and we're tied two to two, and then at the 1152 mark, Kevin Fiala gets his seventh from Dowdy's fourth, and Lair La Ferriera his fourth on a wrist shot to put the Kings up 3-2, but that's how the final score ended. Kings three, penguins two. The Kings were uh outshot 33-27. Face-offs were 50-50 out of 54. Each of them uh won 27. And you if you know that uh Crosby's one of the best ever at face-offs to be 50-50 with the penguins is pretty good on the power play. The penguins were one for two for 50. The kings were one for four for 25. Um, hits were 19 for the penguins, only nine for the Kings. Block shots 17 for the Penguins and seven for the Kings. That there's an area I think we definitely really need to prove improve on is our hits and our blocks, because that takes away momentum of the other teams, and we're not doing enough of it. Finally, we won a giveaway. We've been, I think, almost lost every one of them so far this season. But um, the penguins out gave us 16 to 15, and we outtook it three to two against them. Let's go to the three out took it. You like that, Cody? Oh, that was funnier than it needed to be. I'm glad I give you humor. That's oh that's my goal in life is to make people laugh and smile. Uh, Novak was a third star with a goal. Perry was the second star with a goal and assist, and Kevin Fiala with a game winner, a goal and assist, is the first star. On to your next game, Cody.

SPEAKER_02: 51:03

Well, Kevin says, What a uh goal that was by Kevin Fiala, and also uh Dusk 3805. I'm hearing a lot of negativity opinions around because Kazmenko by King by King. Some fans calling to trade him. Do you think it's valid, or is he just a temporary rut like Fiala was to start the season?

SPEAKER_00: 51:26

Well, right now he's on a one year, they're probably not gonna trade him unless things went rotten at the trade line. You know, you might see a whole lot of guys go if we're not in the playoff spot. Um, and I think that the rebuild may happen, but I I think Kuzmenko was in a funk and he got benched. And sometimes that's the wake-up call they need. Coach called it has said, You're gonna not play this game. We need more from you, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 51:53

And and uh Duz also said, out took it. I'm using that now.

SPEAKER_00: 52:02

And then Kevin, I love somebody appreciates me.

SPEAKER_02: 52:06

I thought I was hological, I was not expecting that. Um, Kevin put I love c uh coups, but there are plenty of players that deserve the scratch just as much as him. Seem uh extremely harsh. Uh, I mean, sometimes you maybe he just needed a maintenance day, or uh you know, so something to reset himself. Uh, can't expect him to produce on a shutdown line with more and Phil.

SPEAKER_00: 52:28

Well, see, that was the first step they made because he wasn't doing much up with the first line with Copatar and Kempe, and then they moved him down, and you know, they're just trying to see if something can get him kick-started. And I I bet you he gets kick-started again. I mean, he does a lot, he he moves well, he passes well. Uh, you know, it's he's in a funk right now. He got just got slapped in the face by the coach by being scratched. And let's hope that just you know, he's gonna come in today and get two goals and an assist against uh senators. Yeah, that's what I think.

SPEAKER_02: 53:06

Yeah, so all right, on to the next ducks game. Um, but so the ducks had a back-to-back last weekend, if you guys remember, they played in Vegas on Saturday and then had to travel back home to take on the former president's trophy or the reigning president's trophy winners, the uh Winnipeg Jets. I don't know why I blanked out on that, even though it's staring right at me in the face. Um, so the ducks get the scoring started from Beckett Seneca, his fifth of the year, Cutter Gautier, his eighth assist of the year, and Hellison's sixth assist of the year. So it's one-nothing Anaheim at the 718 mark on a wrist shot, and then Leo Carlson on the power play scores his ninth of the year. Uh Terry with his 14th assist and Kreider's second assist. Um, looks like Crider's gonna be losing his Cy Young uh voting with that assist. Um, so it's 2-0 Anaheim at the 1903 mark, and it stays 2-0 Anaheim until the end of the period. And then Kyle Connor gets his ninth of the season to make it 2-1 Anaheim to start at the second, but then Beckett Seneca again gets another goal. So now we're on hat trick watch for Mr. Beckett Seneca there. Um, his sixth of the year on a wrist shot. Uh Cutter Gaudier with his ninth assist of the year, and McTavish his eighth assist of the year. And then we go to the third period, and just to kind of give that nice little insurance goal, Leo Carlson scores his 10th goal of the year on the power play. Uh Kreider with his third uh third assist of the year and Lacombe's sixth assist, and the ducks end up winning this one four to one over the reigning president's trophy winners. Uh the shots on goal, uh Winnipeg had 24. We had 21. The again out we lost the face off 50 uh 54 to 46. Power play was a lot better this game. We had um uh we PK was great, held them oh for uh Winnipeg was oh for four on the penalty, but we and we were two for four. Um penalty minutes was even at eight apiece. Uh hits were pretty much even 21 to 20. Block shots again, almost even 15 to 14 in favor of Winnipeg. Uh giveaways, uh Winnipeg at 21. We had 12 takeaways. Um, Winnipeg outtook us with five to four. And the ducks take game one of the three-game season series, four to one. Um actually, Adam, you didn't know that that's a thing in hockey about the Cy Young. There's a there's a thing called the Cy Young race in hockey. If you have more goals than assists, it's a like it's like you have a winning record. And I know Kreider was like what top five in the NHL with that. I think right now it's like Keith or Sherwood, he has like 11 goals and two assists because it looks like you have like you know a winning record as a pitcher. So they I've heard it on so many different hockey podcasts about that. Um, let's go into the three stars of the game. Lukash Gostall got the start. Oh no, I forgot to mention in the last game, so we did have the back-to-back. Peter Morazzick played in Vegas uh for the ducks, and he was fantastic in that game.

SPEAKER_00: 56:37

He he was fantastic in that game.

SPEAKER_02: 56:40

I'm so sorry, Marazik. I should have brought this up in the last when I was talking about the Vegas game. You played amazing, you kept us in that game.

SPEAKER_00: 56:53

No, Sayani stays with baseball, says Adam.

SPEAKER_02: 56:57

No, I saw that. Um, but no, Marazik, you played amazing in that game, you kept us in that game. You should have been one of the three stars of that game because the ducks probably wouldn't have won if it wasn't for Mrazic. He looked a little shaky at first, but he really got in the zone and looked really good, you know. So hats off to you. He's 300 this year, so good job, uh Morazik. But uh back to the Winnipeg game. Uh Dostal um was the third star of the game, giving up the one goal and had a save percentage of 958. Uh Leo Carlson was the second star with two goals for two points. And Seneca also was the number one star with two goals for two points. Uh, and then uh Adam put Peter looked like an all-star after the first period. He really locked it down. No, he he did. Like I said, he looked great in that Vegas game. So uh, and that is it for uh our second game of the week.

SPEAKER_00: 58:00

Well, I gotta tell you, um I don't know if Quinn it's it's all Quinville's fault, but the ducks are fun to watch. So they were they they weren't fun to watch last year. I mean, seriously.

SPEAKER_02: 58:16

So from what I heard is like, yes, Quinville is like the main person, but all the day-to-day stuff is all Jay Woodcroft and Ryan, I believe Ryan McGill. So like the the the two so uh yeah, for seven years I I agree. Ducks are are uh eight. That's a good name. I like that. But yeah, the it's a complete like night and day just watching this team. Like last year, I like sometimes I was like, I just want to turn off the TV, and now it's like like what the hell is going on? Like, what I'm like, I can't keep my eyes off the screen when the ducks are playing. And uh Deuce says, I hate that I'm enjoying watching ducks games and Coryberry play. That's hilarious. Oh, that's hilarious! I love that. Oh god, oh, the comments are great today. Oh, I love it.

SPEAKER_00: 59:20

It's it's it's it's been excellent today, and I gotta tell you, um, if you're a hockey fan first, it's it's okay. Yeah, I mean, I like I I watch not not just the Kings and Ducks, but I watch hockey all the time. Yeah, I'll I'll have the Bruins against God. Who are they playing that game? Was it Florida? It was that was a crazy game.

SPEAKER_02: 59:49

Well, mom says she's even watching every game.

SPEAKER_00: 59:51

Yeah, I got victory plus if she needs it on her TV now.

SPEAKER_02: 59:56

Yeah, actually, I think tonight's I I watch probably 40 Kings games a year. Well I yeah, I sometimes they're fun to watch too. If I got time, I try I try to watch the Kings if I can.

SPEAKER_00: 1:00:09

I try to I like I said, I just love to watch hockey, and you know, I'm blessed. Uh my uh the Dish Network does have the NHL uh app or not app but channel on it. And I watch that a lot. I watch on the fly a lot, gives you all the recaps of the games and stuff, and you get to see some really great plays by these hockey players. I mean, and it's so much fun, especially when they do these shots between their legs, and I don't Even know how they do that without tripping over it, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:00:43

Uh Rashad, real quick, we got breaking news. Um, the double star, uh Jack Hughes is gonna miss eight weeks. Oh my!

SPEAKER_00: 1:00:54

So what happened?

SPEAKER_02: 1:00:56

It was uh eating dinner or something. Yeah, it was it was after a freak accident at a team dinner. Well, while you're doing your your next game, I'm gonna try to look further into it. Um Adam says Coach Q is also giving these guys room to fix their mistakes. Before Q, they would get benched for a mistake, and this team is actually getting uh actually getting to learn on the fly and allow to play. No, I've heard that, and I agree. Like, like there may I think was it I know Seneca got benched for like the rest of a period one time, and then the very next period, I think or I think he put him down to the fourth line, benched him for like a period or half a period, whatever, and then like the very next period, um he put was right back on the line with uh McTavish and and Cutter. So, like I said, uh that's I'm okay with that. You know, bench him for like a period or whatever, but like let him get back out there and fix the mistake. And also, ducks are I, but copotar is one of my all-time favorite players, and kid just can't stay healthy, man. Hopefully, he didn't slice a tendon. I'll try to look it up while you're you're doing your next uh game right now.

SPEAKER_00: 1:02:11

It's it's funny you said that uh you know copitar is one of your favorites. I go, I got an Anaheim duck, it's one of mine, and I think it's probably a lot of people's is Timu Solani. Yeah, he is such just an incredibly great hockey player. Gun I don't know, he has it, he hasn't been he is he's in the hall of fame, is he not?

SPEAKER_02: 1:02:34

Who? Um Solani. Oh, yeah, him in Korea got inducted up during the same year.

SPEAKER_00: 1:02:41

Yeah, um I I just uh drew a blank on that one, and then not just that, he's just a super great human, and you know, and he just loves life. And he how can you not like a guy like that? I mean, I just I I told I yeah, I one of my favorites, and and and I actually have a jersey, and it was thanks to Cody because he asked me, you know, what I'd want. I go, I want a Slani jersey, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:03:08

And then Ducks are right, but McTabish got benched last game for the whole third, but he had a rough go that game. I believe he did. I will review Rhea's one of my favorite, one of my favorites all of all time, too.

SPEAKER_00: 1:03:22

Oh, so so are we having confessions on royally quack today about you know other teams players we really really like? Okay, so that's nice. I love the dear. I mean, you guys are you guys are hockey fans. That's what a hockey fan can Sydney Crosby. I love Sydney Crosby. Nathan McKinnon's fun to watch, and if you've never seen uh McDavid play live, and you get kind of close to watching him play live, you would be amazed at how fast he is. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00: 1:04:53

So on to Montreal, where the Canadians and the Kings got together, and the Canadians have been playing really well this season. They're one of the surprises. I mean, not a big surprise, but a surprise. Uh, let's go to the scoring. Uh in the first period, just what are you laughing at now? Oh, we got a whole lot of other things, penalty box confessions.

SPEAKER_02: 1:05:18

Sorry, that's that's it. That's it. Adam got it, he nailed it. Uh oh, yeah, go ahead and finish, and we'll get back to these comments.

SPEAKER_00: 1:05:27

Um, Josh Anderson scores his second, uh, just before the end of the first period from Hudson, uh, who is 13th assist, and Evans is second on a snapshot. And after one period, Montreal won. King's nothing. So we go to the second period. Joel Edmondson finally gets his first from Brand Clark his sixth, and Copitar his seventh on a slap shot at the 117 mark, and we're tied one. Then Quentin Byfield gets his third from Edmondson as seventh, and Kempe is 12th on a snapshot at the 417 mark to put the Kings up two to one. Kevin Fiala gets his eighth from Alex La Ferriera's fifth, and quite uh Quentin Byfield is 11th on another. Boy, it's a snapshot kind of day. It's 3-1 Kings. They're making it snappy, and that's how the second period ends. And then Joel Armia gets his third unassisted at the 11-08 mark to put the Kings up four to one. Joel Armia has been a little bit of a surprise. I thought he was just more of a defensive guy, but he does have he's made some awful, awful good um offensive plays for the Kings this year. I've been he him and Deneau. When we picked up Deneau, I just thought he was another defensive guy, and and he proved to be a lot better than I thought he would be. So back into the third period, Warren Fogle gets a second on an empty netter at the 1532 mark. Put the Kings up five to one, and that's the end of the scoring. We go to the shots on goal, Kings beat uh 26, Canadians 22. The Kings won the face-offs 51-49. Um, both teams were 0 for 3 on the power play. Hits Canadians 21, Kings 10. We got to pick that up, guys. Uh, we won the game. We need to pick up our hits, and we need to pick up our block shots. Uh, but we actually did win the block shots again for one, you know, maybe the second time all year. 16 to 15 giveaways is what killed the Canadians 18. The Kings only nine takeaways, the Canadian six, the Kings three. Let's go to the three stars. And the three stars are Armia with a goal, a second star is Cope Copatar with an assist, and the number one star is uh Quentin Byfield with a goal and an assist. So we can go to those comments now, Cody, before we go to your next game.

SPEAKER_02: 1:08:14

All right, Duz put I went to all the Kings playoffs uh game, and it was hard not to admire uh what McDavid did to the Kings, and then uh he put uh last year, and then also put Armia's last goal was cold, and I hope to see more of it.

SPEAKER_00: 1:08:36

Cold. I've heard cool before, but not cold. I like it. I like the cold thing. That's cold, baby.

SPEAKER_02: 1:08:45

All right, so now we move on to what a lot of people were recalling the game of the year, an early game of the year, where it was the red hot Anaheim Ducks versus the red hot Colorado Avalanche, and this is the game where we were gonna see are are the ducks legit or are they just frauds, or like, or are they actually gonna be you know, cont like not contenders, but like playoff bound. And I will say it it was a hard game to watch in a way, but it just I think this went to show us that Colorado is just better. I mean, you got the probably the two fastest teams this season going at each other. Um, so I'll just go into the scoring. Um, 28 seconds into the game, Arturi Lekinen gets on the board for Colorado to make it one-nothing, and then Leo Carlson gets his 11th goal of the year, assists from Jacob Truba and Troy Terry to extend his 11-game point streak, and then it was just all Colorado after that. Um, Gabriel Landiscog gets his first goal of the season, and it was his first goal since what March of 2022. So, congratulations to Gabriel Landiscog on that one. Um, and then uh so it's 2-1 Colorado after two, and then the third period, uh Martin N. Jored on the power play uh to make it 3-1 Colorado, and then Parker Kelly scored on the empty net to make it 4-1 uh Colorado. What are you doing? Um, trying to get my stand the standings up. Oh okay, interesting way of doing it. Um, but like I said, this this game, the ducks struggled a lot in that first period, but after that, they started to play a lot better. Like I said, you could just tell that Kalra was the better team, and I will say they were the better team, they played like they were the better team. Um, I guess it does, I mean it doesn't help when you're the ducks are going against what when Calor has what two of the top five players in the world with McCarr and McKinnon. And McKinsey Blackwoods was fantastic in this game for a backup, or he's supposed to be really like a 1B in a way, but I'd say he played fantastic in this game. He really uh he really kept Colorado uh in the game too. Dostal played fantastic. I I think there was like one or two. Uh nah, I I wouldn't no, I wouldn't say it was uh that's the next game. Sorry. Um sorry, I'm thinking of the Detroit game, but um let's get into the stats. Uh each team had 36 shots on goal. Uh the face-off percentages were a little bit better. Uh 50 uh 51 to 49, or sorry, 52 to 48. Uh power play, the ducks were 0 for 2. Uh AVs were 1 for 4. Um, we did out hit them 26 to 16. We had 19 block shots to their 13, 16 giveaways to their 12, and uh we outtook them um seven to six, and the ducks uh lose the first game of the season series to the Colorado Avalanche 4 to 1. The three stars of the game is of course gonna be all Colorado. Um, number three was the number uh number three stars Arturi Lekinen with one goal, one assist for two points, and then McKinnon was the number two star with three assists for three points, and then Scott Wedgewood was the number one star, not a shocker, uh, with the one goal against average and a nine seventy-two save percentage. Like I said, just it's an easy the the Colorado really proved to us like they were the better team. Um, and and and I already knew that going in. I had my hopes. I mean, as every you know, you know, hopeful fan right now. So, but I knew this was going to be a very like telling game of where the ducks are at. And it just this game showed us like yes, the ducks are a lot better, and that they could make a good push to get into the playoffs this year, but it just tells you they're probably not like at that like Stanley Cup contender stage yet. And then um, let's see. Oh, mom says, uh, I like Kopitar and Dowdy. And then Adam, I think he was making sure sure his bread matches his team colors. What was that? I'm confused about that one. I might I must have forgot something. And then um Deuce asked, what changes do you think the ducks need to make when they meet the Aves again?

SPEAKER_00: 1:13:51

Um kidnap McKinnon.

SPEAKER_02: 1:13:57

Yeah, um, I would I would just say one, we can't be taking the stupid penalties. You know, I believe we had let's see, I mean, just yeah, oh the the comb one for the two minutes on the goalie interference. We can't be doing the delay of game puck over glass. Gotta keep them away from the their power play. Uh beard, uh oh, oh, messing with oh, when you're playing with your standings thing. Um I I would say just be better, be better defensively. You know, I I I still think the you know the kids are still getting used to playing, like Ian Moore is still pretty new. You know, I just think overall, like we need our offense to be a little bit better. So uh that's those not really much of changes, just I think just more growing as a team and getting better is what the ducks need in that kind of situation. So uh you can go on to your your last game.

SPEAKER_00: 1:15:00

Well, the last game we go to Toronto. What dun dun dun dun dun dun, and I guess fortunately for us, uh no Austin Matthews. So that really didn't help in the first period for us because Bobby McMahon scores his fifth unassisted on a wrist shot at the 806 mark, one-nothing Toronto. Then John Tavares, who seems to be you know, taking he took the number one C spot, and he gets his tenth from uh Ekman Larson, his tenth, and nice his 16th at the 1639 mark on another wrist shot to put Toronto up two to nothing after the first period. In the second period, look like Warren Fogle's start starting to get out of the funk he's been on all season. He gets his third from Dowdy as fifth, and Anderson is third on another wrist shot at the 651 mark, and it's now two to one. Toronto. Kevin Fiala gets his ninth from Byfield as 12th, and Cece is fourth to tie the game 2-2 on another wrist shot at the 1541 mark. But John Teferis strikes again late in the second period and gets his 11th from Nylander, his 17th, and Nyes is 17th. Hey, we finally got a backhand shot, something different, at the 17-6 uh 17-16 mark to put Toronto up 3-2, and that's how the second period ended. Then the the kid with the new contract this year, Alex LeFerrier gets his fourth from Clark as seventh, and Doomlin is second on a tip in to tie the score three-three. Then that's how it ends in the third period. But we go to the overtime, and finally, 35 seconds in, Byfield wins the game with his fourth from Dowdy as sixth, and Kempe is 13th. Kings beat Toronto four to three. Let's go to the stats. So went a little too far there. There we go. So basically, they got three goals on 15 shots. Not a great percentage. You think you lose 72 to 28, you wouldn't win the game, but somehow the Kings did. Um, Kings were 0 for 2 on the in the power play. And um nice thing is we only gave Toronto one power play, which is one reason we've been losing games, so they were 0 for 1. Hits 26 for Toronto, 14 for the Kings. Blocks 20 Toronto, 7 for the Kings. Giveaways tied at 18, and we won the takeaway battle three to two. Let's go to the three stars. I can bet you I can tell you without looking who the number one star was. Number three star was uh Alex LaFerrier with a goal, second star to Tavares with two goals, and the number one star for the second game in a row, Quentin Byfield with a goal and assist. So if Byfield can start heating up, because I don't know if you remember, almost put the last 10 years, it would be or maybe not quite that long, six years. It's been Kempe, Copitar, and Dowdy out to start uh overtime. It's typically Byfield, Kempe, and I would guess Dowdy now. And Byfield is starting to pick it up. So the Kings went uh two and one this week, so that was good.

SPEAKER_02: 1:19:24

Yep. Uh, we got a comment in on the Instagram live. OC Steve Diaz says, Morning, fellas. Morning to you, Steve. How you doing? All right, and then we'll go to the last game of the week for the ducks. The ducks uh were in the middle of their little road trip. Uh, I think it was it. We play Colorado, then now we're playing Detroit. Uh, so the ducks will conclude their season series against Detroit this game. Um, I'm gonna just go right into the scoring, but Mort Sider gets his second goal of the year on the power play to make it one-nothing at the 557 mark. Um Cutter Cody uh gets back on the scoring with his 12th goal of the year. Um, so now we're tied 1-1, and assists are from Beckett Seneca, his sixth, and Jacob Truba his eighth, and that's at the 735 mark. But every time the ducks seem to claw back, uh Detroit scores again. Uh Michael Rosmuson hit gets his second of the year at the 1242 mark to make it 2-1 Detroit. And then Chris Kreider gets his 10th of the year to tie it up uh 2-2 at the 1454 mark. Uh Lacombe got his seventh assist of the year, and Drew Hellison got his seventh assist of the year, and then Axel Sandine Pelica gets his second of the year for Detroit to take a 3-2 lead. And that was all in the second period, by the way. All those scoring, so it's 3-2 Detroit going into the third, and then John Gibson actually got hurt or something this game because in the third period, Cam Talbot came in to relief John Gibson. I know there's a little collision, I they didn't really show much of it. Um, I think someone just like lost an edge and just skated and and I think collided with Gibson, and so he because he didn't come out for the third period. So um, so Calbut Talbot Cam Talbot came in for uh Gibson in the third. Um, but Alex de Brinkett, uh 50 seconds into the third period on the power play, um, gets his fifth of the year. God, uh if there's anyone I wish we can get on the ducks, just so we don't have to play against him, it's probably Alex de Brinkett. I want to say he has like 40 points in 20 games against the ducks in his career. He's a duck killer. That's the definition of a duck killer, is just Alex de Brinkett. Um, and then uh Michael Granlin in his first game back after his injury gets his third of this year to make it four three Detroit. Ian Moore got his first assist of the year, and Strome, his first game of the season, got his first point of the year with assist, so it's four three Detroit, and then uh Dylan Larkin gets his tenth of the year to make it five three Detroit, and then Alex De Brinkett on the power play, or sorry, not on the power play, and got an empty netter to score his second goal of the game, his sixth of the year, and Detroit wins this one six to three. So they got uh the John Gibson revenge game kind of kind of happened, wasn't there for the end of it, but uh he played he was playing well. Uh the shots on goal 33 to 28. The faceoffs were pretty even, but the ducks barely edged them in uh in the face-off 51 to 49. Uh power play, the ducks were 0 for 3, and the red wings were 2 for 4. So we gotta clean that up, guys. Uh penalty minutes 24 to 22 in favor and ducks, sadly. Um, hits 21 to 16 for the ducks. Uh block shots. Detroit had 17 to the ducks, 14 giveaways, 20 giveaways for the red wings, 12 for the ducks, and then seven takeaways for Detroit to five for Anaheim, and that concludes the season series against Detroit. Each team winning one game each. Um, but the penalty minutes was just there was a lot of penalties called in this game. I believe on the Alex de Brinkett goal. I can't remember which goal it was. I think I want to say it was the Alex Debrin goal in the third period on the power play. The refs were just calling ridiculous penalties, like Chris Kreider just grabbed someone, and the guy just went down like a ragdoll, and he he it should have been embellishment instead of a penalty on Chris Kreider, and then they score like instantly off the power play. It like I said, the the refs were just they were calling everything for the ducks and really not much for the ducks because I saw a lot lot worse plays that weren't called, but this literally looked like the old like Red Wings ducks games like from the early 2000s when they were playing in the playoffs, like a lot of scrums after the whistle and everything like that. It was it was I like to see that kind of fight back in the ducks, especially against a former rival like that. Like, I know a lot of our new ducks fans, like they'd never think that the Red Wings were the ducks rival, but for me, they were a rival back then. So, um, but yeah, that concludes uh that game. Let me go with the three stars. Uh Lucas Raymond was the third star with two assists. Uh Mort Sider was the number two star with one goal, one assist. And then the duck killer himself, Alex to Brinkett, was the number one star with two goals, one assist for three points. And we do have a comment from mom. The ducks are going to have to find a new groove having Strome and Granlin. It may take a couple of games, and I think it's gonna take Strome a couple of games to get back into the groove, too.

SPEAKER_00: 1:25:21

Because I mean he he just played his first game, so so it must be duck season in Detroit, huh?

SPEAKER_02: 1:25:28

No, just uh no, just for uh Alex to brink it. It's not rabbit season, it's duck season. Well, I hope it's always duck season because that means they're gonna be winning. It's duck season. I know what you're saying, but I'm saying it in a different way. I yeah, you want to twist it. Okay, that's all right. I'm twisting it. So, all right, you want to get into the NHL standings? Let's go to the Eastern Conference first. All right, you want you uh you want me to knock out one division, you get the other? Yeah, are we just like are we are we doing it by division or are we doing it like for playoffs? Like if playoffs were to happen.

SPEAKER_00: 1:26:13

I just the records right now. I mean, we could you know it's it's too early. Let's get to through Thanksgiving and then we can talk about playoffs. Okay, yeah, because that typically, if you're not a playoff team by Thanksgiving, you're not going to be. Of course, Edmonton Oilers proved that to be wrong last couple years, I think.

SPEAKER_02: 1:26:31

Um so I'll but it's that's I'll knock out the I'll knock out the Atlantic. Um, so number one in the Atlantic right now is the Montreal Canadiens and 17 games played, they have 22 points. The record is 10, 5, and 2 with a 647 points percentage. Uh, number two is the Ottawa Senators, 18 games played with 22 points, they're 9, 5, and 4 with a 6-11 points percentage. Uh the Boston Bruins are in third place in the Atlantic. All right now, with 19 games played, they're 11-8-0 with 22 points, and that's a good enough for a 5 uh 79 percentage. The Detroit Red Wings in 17 games played, they have 20 points. They're 10-7-0, they have a 588 points percentage. The Florida Panthers are in fifth place with 17 games played, uh, with 19 points, they're 9-7-1 with a 5-5-9 points percentage. The Tampa Bay Lightning are in sixth place, 16 games played, 18 points, 8-6-2 record with the 563 points percentage, and then number seven is the your the yeah, the Toronto Maple Leafs, 18 games played, 18 points, they're 8, 8, and 2, and they're at NHL 500. And then in last place, oops, I just closed my standings. Um, they're seven and 17 games played, 14 points, they're 5, 8, and 4, and they're the one team in the Eastern Conference that have a below five uh below a 500 points percentage at 412.

SPEAKER_00: 1:28:25

Okay, so let's go to the metro. And everybody in the metro is 500 or higher in point percentage, but let's go to the current standings at not including any games being played today. The New Jersey Devils are in first place with 25 points. They have 12 wins, four losses, or they're 12-4-1, 735 point percentage. Carolina Hurricanes are in second place, they have 24 points, they're 12, 5, and 0 for a 706 point percentage. The surprise Pittsburgh Penguin Penguins, and though each of those teams have played 17 games. The penguins have played 18 games, they have 22 points, they're 9-5 and 4 for a 6-11 point percentage. The New York Islanders also played in 18 games, is 10 6 2 for 22 points and a 6-11 points percentage. The Philadelphia Ziegresses are played 17 games, they're 9-5 and 3 for 21 points and a 6-18 points percentage. Um, the New York Ducks have played 18 games, and they're 9-7-2. No, 20% they can't be the New York Ducks because there's no former ducks really playing on the team. I know, but I just thought I'd throw because you're gonna say the Anaheim Rangers. No, it's the the New York Ducks of Anaheim, New York Ducks of Anaheim. There you go. Um, and the Rangers have a 556 point percentage. The Columbus Blue Jackets in 17 games are 9-7-1 for 19 points and a 559 point percentage. The Washington Capitals, 17 games. They're they were number one in the Eastern Conference last year. They're eighth in the metro, but they're up they eight eight and one for 17 points and a 500 uh points percentage. The east is obvious, we're obviously the west is uh getting beat up by the east. Obviously. Yeah. They only have one team, one team under 500 in the whole uh East Conference. Yeah. Yeah. And the Eastern Conference.

SPEAKER_02: 1:30:52

So all right. We'll move into the central. Colorado's number one in the central, 18 games played. They're 12 1 and 5 for 29 points with an 806 points percentage. Dallas Stars are in second, 18 games played. Sorry, with uh the record of 11 4 and 3 for 25 points with a 694 points percentage. The Utah Mammoth are in third, 18 games played, 21 points, 10 7-1 record for a 583 points percentage. The Winnipeg Jets in 17 games, 20 points. They're 10 7 0 for 588 points percentage. Uh the Chicago Blackhawks are in fifth in the central 17 games played. They're 8 5 4, 20 game, uh 20 points with a 588 uh points percentage. The Minnesota Wild, 18 games played, they're 7, 7, and 4 for 18 points, and they're NHL 500 and points. Um the uh St. Louis Blues, 18 games played, they're 6, 8, and 4, 16 points, and they're below NHL 500 at 444. And then the Nashville Predators are in last in the central 19 games played, 6, 9, and 4, 16 points for a 421 points percentage.

SPEAKER_00: 1:32:18

Now to the Pacific, the Anaheim Ducks have played 17 games, they're 11 5 and 1 for 23 points and 676 uh point uh point percentage. Get this Southern California one and two in the Pacific, the Kings 18 games, 9-5 and 4, 22 points for a 6-11 point percentage. Then the surprise Seattle Kraken in 17 games there, 8 4 and 5 for 21 points for a 6-18 points percentage, then the dreaded and hated Edmonton Oilers in 19 games or 8 7 and 4 for 20 points and a 526 points percentage. Then I'm not gonna say what I want to say, but the Golden Knights 16 games, 7-4 and 5, 19 points for a 594 points percentage, and the surprising San Jose Sharks in sixth, 18 games, 8, 7, and 3, 19 points, a 528 points percentage, then the Vancouver Canucks in 19 games or 8-9 and 2 for 18 points and a 474 save percentage. Then probably I think the worst team in hockey right now is the Calgary Flames, 19 games, 5, 12, and 2, 12 points, 316 points percentage. Wow, those are the standings in hockey right now. Very surprising. There's a lot of teams, and I'm sure no one expected the Kings and Ducks to be, or the Ducks and Kings actually to be one and two, and the Kraken three. Yeah, I can't I can't say I'm surprised that Colorado is as doing as well as they are. Yeah, but I mean the Edmonton Oilers, they're they're either up or down right now. I mean, I guess they're gonna have that same slow start and hopefully not not not beat us in the playoffs this year.

SPEAKER_02: 1:34:28

They'll they'll make it to either second and third, and then somehow still play the Kings in the playoffs in the first round.

SPEAKER_00: 1:34:35

Yeah, we'll see. All right, and who knows, Cody? Who maybe your uh your prediction might come true? We'll see.

SPEAKER_02: 1:34:43

Um, Dusk asks us any plans to go to any of the upcoming Kings versus Ducks game at the Honda Center, it's the pond, by the way, or staple center. It would always be the staple center to me. I we both agree with you on the staple center one, yes, and I agree with you on the um the pond, too. Yeah, I don't know. I know they have a game on Black Friday. I can't go because I have work, sadly. Um, so yeah, I I can't go to that one, and I know they have like a home and home coming up.

SPEAKER_00: 1:35:16

Like I think it's it's January, right? Is it in January?

SPEAKER_02: 1:35:20

Let me see.

SPEAKER_00: 1:35:21

And we gotta think about getting to a uh it's gotta be a weekend. I I work uh you know, like 12 12 to whenever time I get off. So it's hard to go to any games during the week for me. So, but I I I want to get to a Ducks Kings game. We always have a good time going.

SPEAKER_02: 1:35:41

So on December 27th, they play um the Ducks play in LA, but I can't do that one because I'm on call that weekend. Um, and then they have a home and home, like literally back-to-back games. On the 16th, they play uh the ducks play in LA on Friday, the 16th in January, and then on Saturday, uh it's home at the pond for the Ducks against the city.

SPEAKER_00: 1:36:13

What time is that game?

SPEAKER_02: 1:36:15

Uh the Saturday one. Yeah. Seven. We need to go. I'll let me double check to see if I'm on call that weekend.

SPEAKER_00: 1:36:25

Yeah, check check it out. Let's let's let's let's get get some tickets for that one. I wish I could go to more games. If you get to go to a lot of games, I I'm jealous. I mean, I do enjoy watching them, you know, or even listening. And I and I gotta say, I think Emerson Edom has actually totally improved his whole broadcasting part for the ducks. I I could actually I enjoyed listening to them the last time I listened to a ducks game.

SPEAKER_02: 1:36:58

So huh. Um, and then uh yeah, so we're gonna try and make it to one of those uh that's uh January 17th game, and then uh uh ducks RI said if if one of Vegas or Oilers miss, I'd be fired up. I agree with both. I I hope both of them missed, kinda.

SPEAKER_00: 1:37:19

I would love that both Southern California teams or maybe even the San Jose Sharks make the playoffs and they're not there. That would be so cool.

SPEAKER_02: 1:37:31

Yeah, oh yeah, and yeah, someone just put in the Instagram live. They play back to back in mid-January. So yeah, we'll try to we'll try to get to that January 17th game, that'd be a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_00: 1:37:42

Yeah, we'll start. We'll find out if you're on call. We'll we'll see if we can get some tickets, you know.

SPEAKER_02: 1:37:50

If anyone has uh good tickets, let us know. We would love to go. I will see you guys at Ducks versus Kings in the first round of the playoff from Kevin. Well, I will see you that'd be fun.

SPEAKER_00: 1:38:04

That would be fun. You can you imagine all these years? What 33 years? 32 that we've only met once in the playoffs, yeah. And it was uh awesome series, yeah. I mean, it was hard fought, hard played. Oh my gosh, you know, and it everybody had their ups and downs, and uh it could have gone either way. Um, I can't imagine it being much any better than that one, but you never know.

SPEAKER_02: 1:38:40

Yeah, so one last thing before we get out of here. One of the podcasts I listened to, the empty nutters. Um, they're the ones that did the the King's release schedule with the computer. Yeah, yeah, that was so they started a new segment on their podcast, like for hot takes. It doesn't have to be about hockey unless they want it to be. And I and I know you feel greatly about this, like I do. The first hot take they did on the podcast, the first time they ever did it with the segment, the guy says scratchy towels are way better than soft towels. Amen to that, brother. Oh, I messaged them. I was like a hundred percent scratchy towels over soft towels. Because I like I've been I've been saying this for years. I've scratchy towels just dry you off better. And it feels better, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 1:39:32

The the the soft towels just smear it. Yes, it's hard to find, it's hard to find scratchy towels.

SPEAKER_02: 1:39:40

Yeah, um, well who would have thought at the time of the 2014 King's Ducks series that Corey the scory Perry would be a point per game player for the Kings in 2025.

SPEAKER_00: 1:39:54

That is true. Nobody Kevin, nobody thought that that would ever happen. Yeah, and the funniest thing about that whole thing is learning that Dowdy and Perry were friends. I'd have never guessed that.

SPEAKER_02: 1:40:13

That they were friends. Because of Team Canada, they played together internationally.

SPEAKER_00: 1:40:18

Well, yeah, uh, but they they were in the same uh they were in Europe before I think before he signed with the Oilers, and Doughty was trying to have him come to the Kings, and but the Kings weren't gonna offer as uh as much money as the Oilers, so he he didn't do it. But uh you know, I gotta say, what a surprise. You know, I'm not in love with Corey Perry, but I definitely are starting to like the way he plays because he's definitely a difference maker, he's a role player that makes a huge difference, and I think that's how Stanley Cups are won.

They lost four to one in the championship to their rivals. Um, but I guess they brought uh a one semi-pro player and two junior players to play in the lowest division, but he said overall a good time. And then Adam also sent me two uh pictures of this guy that made shirts, and uh you'll laugh at it. There's that one the New York Ducks of Anaheim. Okay, that's cool, and then so they made one in uh in the uh New York Rangers colors and then one in the ducks colors. I thought this was a hockey podcast, not a bed, bath, and beyond podcast.
