Episode 92- Clutch Ducks, Scoring Kings and a Wild Trade!

A shorthanded equalizer with 0.1 on the clock, a 6–0 shutout, and a tripping call on a goalie that flipped a finish—this week had everything. We dive into the Ducks’ offensive burst behind Leo Carlsson, Beckett Sennecke, and Troy Terry, plus Lukáš Dostál’s return and the delicate waiver dance with Ville Husso. On the other side, the Kings finally uncorked goals against Chicago and leaned on Brandt Clarke’s surge from the blue line, only to see late-game whistles cloud a gritty trip to Seattle.

We zoom out to the world juniors, where both pipelines look stacked. The Kings send a wave of talent across USA, Finland, Czechia, and Slovakia; the Ducks lock in key Swedish invites. Why it matters: WJC ice is the best read on who drives play under pressure—and who jumps a development tier before spring. We also unpack the week’s cap and roster mechanics, from emergency recalls to the 10-game waiver threshold, making sense of how front offices protect depth while chasing points.

Then we tackle the earthquake: Quinn Hughes to Minnesota for a haul. Would the Kings or Ducks have matched it? What’s the right price when a top-two defenseman changes your breakout, power play, and ceiling overnight? We examine fit, not just value, and how each team’s identity should guide big swings. And yes, we argued jerseys too: Dallas’ third looks ready to be a primary, Boston edges Tampa in the stadium set, and color-on-color continues its comeback—when letters don’t replace logos.

Come for the highlights and heat checks; stay for the practical takeaways. For L.A., it’s simplifying the power play and getting Byfield attacking downhill. For Anaheim, it’s riding Carlsson’s pace, feeding Sennecke in motion, and letting Dostál calm the crease. Hit play, then tell us: were those late penalties legit or game-changers that shouldn’t stand? Subscribe, share with a hockey friend, and drop a review—we’ll read the best ones on the show.

SPEAKER_00: 1:56

It's time, hockey fans, for episode ninety two of Royally Quacked. How's it going, Cody?

SPEAKER_03: 2:08

I am doing good. How are you doing?

SPEAKER_00: 2:11

Pretty good. Pretty good. You know, I th I I know I text you, but uh after the Kings beat who was it? Chicago. Well, they there's when they won that second game. Uh I I got on uh the Royal Half post-game show with Jesse Cohen.

SPEAKER_03: 2:34

Oh, that was uh Utah, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_00: 2:37

Yeah, Utah. It was after the Utah game. Talked with him a little bit. It was it was fun. He even uh gave us a plug.

SPEAKER_03: 2:45

Yeah, uh I Jesse was so like I said, so great. Um, letting everyone know that uh that bonus episode with Jesse Cohen is still out. You know, I don't plan on taking it down because one, it was such a great interview, and we had a lot of fun. So go check out that bonus episode with when we just talk all things kings with Jesse Cohen.

SPEAKER_00: 3:05

Yeah, it was uh it was an awesome time. He he he just like I said, he has has a different way about him that I just I'm captivated, so yeah. Um and I I I did listen to I don't typically like to listen to our episodes because I don't like to listen to myself talk, but I don't like to listen to you talk either, so I understand. Well, I'm sure there's a lot of people feeling that way, but anyways, when I was listening to it, and there was so much humor, yeah. I I started laughing and I go, you know, I I was actually listening to it driving to work, and it and work's been a little on the rough side lately. Um it put a smile on my face, so you know, I think if if you guys listen to it, um Cody was a great like uh target for Jesse's uh humor.

SPEAKER_03: 4:07

Well, with him, with him and Eddie, I kind of I kind of expect that kind of things, and like I said, and it's like it's it's all fun and everything. And uh Adam already commented it was okay, too much duck smack talk, and then even he said it it is rough to listen to Gary.

SPEAKER_00: 4:26

Yeah, thanks Adam. I I always feel the love that you pour out towards by the way.

SPEAKER_03: 4:32

I I I got my my favorite sweater on the favorite child. There you go. You guys approved of me being the favorite one. Yeah, I know mom approved it.

SPEAKER_00: 4:51

Uh I'm waiting for the response from mom on that one.

SPEAKER_03: 4:55

I know, but I mean it's I have I have it in writing. I'm wearing it because I guarantee it's in my size, it's not gonna fit Tim or Sammy. I mean, you could probably put both of them into the sweater. I'm not gonna say anything to that. All right, well, you ready to get into some team news? Sure, all right. Let's uh you go this time.

SPEAKER_00: 5:20

Okay, a little bit of humor to start off in King's News. Drew Dowdy's mom told the Kings they sucked in the second period.

SPEAKER_03: 5:32

I I don't know which game that was, I can't remember, but it was pretty fun. I want to say it was it.

SPEAKER_00: 5:39

I think it was a Utah game, they came back and won because they dominated the first period, got in trouble in the second period with finished off the game with a victory.

SPEAKER_03: 5:52

Yeah, um Kevin. Wait, Kevin says, Good morning, Gary and Cody, and good morning, Kevin. Good morning, Kevin.

SPEAKER_00: 5:59

The Kings have signed uh VoCek Sihar to a three-year entry-level contract. He was uh their second pick that they got in the draft last year. I'm not sure if it's second round, don't remember that, but uh he's a project that they think will be sometime in the future, maybe a bottom six player. Uh defenseman uh Henry Brustevich and forward Brendan Morrow will attend camp with Team USA. Both players certainly have a great shot at cracking the lineup for that team. I I think they're both gonna make that team. And highly regarded forward prospect Liam Green, last season's uh and last season's Canadian starting goaltender Carter George are both on the invitation list to camp, which is supposed to happen on uh a little uh this might be yesterday's news, uh, but to camp later that today is what uh the thing I read was, and I think I got that news yesterday. Uh also leading the charge. There's uh Petteri Rympan, who will represent Finland and was the uh star goalie of last season's tournament. So I mean that's what three so far, and then rounding out camp are you have Vojek Sihar from Chechia and Jan Chovan from Slovakia. So we have a representative of five possible uh prospects playing in the world juniors this year, and if you guys don't if you get a chance, you during or I would tape it if you have, but I think it's always on the NHL channel. Watch these games, you're gonna see a some superstars playing hockey. There's always somebody that's gonna be a top pick, maybe in this year's draft, or if they haven't already been selected, like all five of the kings have been selected in prior times. You know, we've had what Trevor's the Trevor Ziegris, uh, if you remember, uh Alex Turcott and um what can I think of it? Arthur Kalyev were with Team USA playing, and they'd all been drafted already by the teams, and they were the leading uh line to win the world junior championship for USA that year. So on to Duck News, Cody.

SPEAKER_03: 8:46

I'm having issues with my mic stand. Hold on. I don't know what's going on. Hopefully that stays. So all right, um mom says I did not buy that sweater. I know, but we all know it's true. Just saying.

SPEAKER_00: 9:08

Boy, that was delayed.

SPEAKER_03: 9:11

Uh I know. Well, because you're talking the whole time, so I couldn't just like oh, speaking of this, while you were talking, next time I'll just cut you off. Um, so I I haven't double-checked all the prospects that are uh ducks prospects that are gonna be in the world juniors. I'll try to do that uh and get that good uh put that out for next week. Because with the camp starting pretty soon for that, we'll I'll probably uh it'll probably be more out there anyways, too. Um but so far, all I've heard is the Ducks prospects uh Lucas Pettersson and Eric Nielsen will represent Team Sweden at the World Junior Championship uh later this month, and then uh more on just plain little Ducks news. Um Beckett Seneca became the fastest teenager in Ducks history to reach 25 points in a season, surpassing teammate Mason McTavish, who did it in 40 games in 22-23. And Seneca, who had nine goals and 16 assists for 25 points, did it in 30 games. I didn't buy it for myself. It was more like uh I knew they were gonna approve of it kind of thing. But we all know I'm I'm the number one child. We all know that because I'm the keeper, and you know what keepers wear the number one. Oh boy, is it so if okay? So most of you don't know, most of you don't know. So people don't know I was a goalkeeper in soccer, that that was my main position, and you know, in soccer, usually the the the goalkeepers will plu will wear number one, and my mom says I'm I'm a keeper, which is kind of you know, in a way of like saying, like, I'm a goalkeeper and I'm a keeper keeper. So I thought it was just a funny way of adding to that. More on Ducks News. Um the Ducks on December 29th, 2024, were in last place in the Pacific Division. December 9th, you mean? I said December 9th. You said 29th. Oh, I I said I thought I said ninth. I think just the way I said it, maybe. Um so the ducks on December 9th, 2024, we're in last place in the Pacific Division, and then uh just jump one year later on December 9th, 2025. I know the standings are a little different right now, but at that time, the ducks are now were on the 9th, we're in first place in the Pacific Division this year.

SPEAKER_00: 12:06

Thank you again, Adam.

SPEAKER_03: 12:09

Whose side are you on, Adam? Hey, okay, you're you're attendee, you're attendee in hockey. I was a goalkeeper in soccer, so difference. There's a big difference, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 12:27

And 32 is a very popular number for hockey goalies, but one they usually always give the goalie number one, yeah. Almost on all the teams.

SPEAKER_03: 12:37

The mom put, boy, you're really stretching this out. LOUR A Keeper. See it there, there's proof right there.

SPEAKER_00: 12:46

Cody, how did you hack into your mom's account? I mean, really.

SPEAKER_03: 12:51

Well, remember who just remember who helped her set it set everything and get it, get it hooked up and everything.

SPEAKER_00: 13:00

Set everything and help.

SPEAKER_03: 13:02

Remember she mom went couldn't log into her YouTube. And guess who remember who fixed it? The number one child.

SPEAKER_00: 13:14

Welcome to Cody's the number one child episode of Royally Quack People.

SPEAKER_03: 13:19

You know, I I should just change the title right now. Cody number one child.

SPEAKER_02: 13:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 13:24

All right. Um, last bit of news. There's two of them, but they both have to kind of have to deal with each other. Um, great news. And as everyone's listening to this right now or watching this already kind of know. Uh, thank you, Kevin. I appreciate Kevin. I appreciate you. Cody, thank Kevin. You are my number one too. I appreciate Kevin. I I I'm hurt. All right, I'm hurt, Kevin. Back to Ducks News, happy news. Uh, the Lucas still stall is nearing return as he is activated from injury reserve. But wait, there's more at this time right now. I don't, I mean, I'm hopefully not spoiling because they're already playing, but Lukash Still Stahl is in net right now playing against the New Jersey Devils right now. So great news, everyone. That means because with Vili Husso, he's now the backup because Mirazek is still out, and everyone's wondering, well, how are they who's gonna stay, who's gonna go? So here's what's going on, and uh thanks to Zach Kavanaugh from uh the sporting tribune for kind of laying this out. Um, since Vili Husso already cleared waivers once before the season started, he doesn't have to clear it again because he only came up because of an injury. But if you play more than 10 games, then you have to clear waivers again. And who's so played eight games? So uh luckily Dostal is back, so who's so uh hopefully he only has to play maybe one more game before Mrazic comes back, and then who's so can go back down without having to clear waivers and possibly losing him, and then we our goalie situation would be back to normal.

SPEAKER_00: 15:24

So well, let me ask you this because I don't know the rule on this. So they could have today sent him back, right? Because he doesn't need to clear waivers, they could have brought up an ECHL guy to back up.

SPEAKER_03: 15:44

I mean, that's my next bit of news is Vajashlav Batayets has been reassigned to the Tulsa Oilers of the ECHL.

SPEAKER_00: 15:54

See, I would have kept him for a game, send Huso back, maybe let him play a game in the AHL and let hit the other guy back up, then bring him back because you could have another or is it 10 total games or eight eight?

SPEAKER_03: 16:10

Ten total games, like they have to play in 10 games.

SPEAKER_00: 16:13

But if it if if he goes back down, does the the the it start over?

SPEAKER_03: 16:18

I don't know. Okay, that that I think there has there would have to be an injury for him to come back up, okay. So because that's why he was brought up in the first place. I I see what you're saying, yeah. And uh circumvent you circumvent the rule like everybody else does, yeah. Um, let's see. Do you know the reason hockey goalies were given number one? Hockey goalies, or are you talking about soccer goalkeepers?

SPEAKER_00: 16:48

Uh no, he's talking. I think he's talking about hockey goalies.

SPEAKER_03: 16:52

I then I don't I can't I thought I can't remember why they were given number one. I I heard it somewhere, but I already forgot. And and then thank you to the Mighty Ducks Club on Instagram live. Dope hat. I know, thank you. I love my hat collection. Um why would I talk about soccer? I don't know. Because soccer is one of the best sports in the world. I know Kevin would agree with that.

SPEAKER_00: 17:23

Oh, Captain Chaos, you finally has somebody else to attack.

SPEAKER_01: 17:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 17:31

So well, that was a very long ducks news that didn't need to be long.

SPEAKER_00: 17:38

Okay, on to league news.

SPEAKER_03: 17:41

Yep, league news.

SPEAKER_00: 17:43

Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly Daly said to the media today the Olympic Arena in Milan is scheduled to be completed by February 2nd. That's three days before the first women's tournament game. Daly said the league learned about the smaller ice surface last week, and also said if a player feels that the ice is unsafe to play, then we're not going to play. It is as simple as that.

SPEAKER_03: 18:13

Uh Kevin said soccer and hockey are the same thing for the numbers. One goes to the goalie, two and three to the defenders, and so on. That I remember. That's why you usually see like the defenders with smaller numbers in soccer. Yeah, I do remember that. Um, the blues have signed ducks legend, uh UFA Robbie Fabry to a one-year two-way contract. Yeah, he goes back to where he won the Stanley Cup. I believe he was drafted there, too.

SPEAKER_00: 18:53

Okay, well, the lightning have announced that Victor Hedman will have a procedure on his elbow on Monday. Headman is expected to return in early February and still represent Sweden in the Olympics. Yeah, I don't think he wants to miss that.

SPEAKER_03: 19:10

No, and then some we got some drama in Buffalo. The Buffalo Sabres have been holding internal discussions about replacing general manager Kevin Adams. Dun dun dun. Well, they've they've got he's had time, so yeah, and they do have um Yarmo Kekaline in there as like an advisor. So and he yeah, I think he was the Columbus Blue Jackets uh uh GM GM before Don Waddell took over.

SPEAKER_00: 19:47

Yeah. The Mammoth have announced Logan Cooley is expected to miss a minimum of eight weeks. That's gonna hurt. He's been playing very well for them.

SPEAKER_03: 20:06

Sorry, Adam said he wanted me to check my phone. Sorry. All right, um, let's see. The hurricanes. Oh sorry. Seattle forward Jared McCann will be out three weeks with a lower body injury.

SPEAKER_00: 20:22

Okay, and they'll I'll I'll take over for Cody's start. The hurricanes have signed defenseman Joel Nystrom to a four-year 1.225 million AAV contract extension.

SPEAKER_03: 20:37

Okay, so this is what Adam says about why goalies are were given number one in hockey. Oh, I'm reading this is what he sent me. The biggest train car was always at the front of the train, and because goalies were taking the most punishment in the net, the team gave the number one train car and the number one on the jersey, and for the respect of the team, the goalie led the team on the ice, and that pretty much does happen most of the time, right? Yeah, oh, you the goalies usually lead the way on the ice.

SPEAKER_00: 21:12

I did not know unless the guy comes out for his first game in the NHL and they skate by themselves for a minute. That's the only time I think it well that's different.

SPEAKER_03: 21:23

Brandy Bussey is the first goalie in NHL history to win his first or to win 10 of his first 11 appearances in the league. Yeah, he's taking the world by storm right now. He's doing really well in Carolina.

SPEAKER_00: 21:41

And the Edmonton Oilers have traded for Tristian Yari and Samuel Poland in exchange for Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 20 29 second round pick. Obviously, getting them to the Stanley Cup finals two years in a row wasn't enough for Skinner. And he has been shaky at best, even except for getting them to the Stanley Cup in the playoffs. He was he was he was pretty solid.

SPEAKER_03: 22:17

Yeah, he had his moments, but um also the Oilers acquired defenseman Spencer Statsney Statsney from the Nashville Predators in exchange for Edmonton's third round pick in 2027.

SPEAKER_00: 22:33

And now for probably the biggest news of the day, the Vancouver Canucks have traded Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild for Marco Rossi, Z Buyam, and Liam Ogren, and a first round pick.

SPEAKER_03: 22:52

On we got a question. Would you have traded Biofield, LaFerriere, Henry B, or Jared Woolley plus a first for Quinn Hughes? I would have traded McTavish, Minty, and a first round pick. And maybe maybe and maybe like Solberg or you know someone in the down in the AHL.

SPEAKER_00: 23:25

I don't I don't know if I would have gone.

SPEAKER_03: 23:53

Just like there was in Vancouver. You had uh Elias Peterson and then Quinn Hughes. I mean Kempe is better. Kempe is better than Elias Petterson. So but I I think that would have I for the Kings, I would not have done that trade because and I don't think Quinn would want to just because you're pretty much just turning into the Vancouver Canucks at that point.

SPEAKER_00: 24:20

Well, and I think doesn't he have some kind of veto power or does he have not? I don't know, but I mean he but because the one thing I did see, I'm not sure where I read this, so I I can't quote where I got the information. He wanted to be more east.

SPEAKER_03: 24:38

I think he also wanted to be in America.

SPEAKER_00: 24:42

Well, Eastern America, um, because uh obviously because his family lives in Michigan. Uh his brothers play in New Jersey, and Jersey did make an offer, it just wasn't good enough. Vancouver took the best offer.

SPEAKER_03: 24:56

They said there were six teams that made an offer. I'm guessing Detroit, I'm guessing New Jersey, obviously Minnesota. That's three. Um, I wouldn't have been so surprised if Dallas was one of the teams because of the whole Tyler Sagan injury, and they could have with that, they could have squeezed in Quinn Hughes.

SPEAKER_00: 25:24

As much as you know, Kevin, when you said Byfield, LaFerrier, um Krustevich or Woolley and a first for Quinn Hughes. I don't think I could, I don't think that would make the Kings uh contender. It's taking I think it would be worse. I think it would take us too much back. Not that Hughes isn't like I mean, there's only one guy you take over him, and that's McCarr. Um, I just don't think that would really improve. We're we're having a hard time scoring as it is, and then we're gonna take Byfield away, which I mean it he doesn't get a lot of goals, but he gets a lot of assists, and I like La Ferriere. He he plays everywhere, he does everything decently. I mean, he's not a top line guy, but he's always in the mix every play. I I like him, and then you're looking at the future, possibly at least maybe second lines uh defense for the Kings with uh Woolley and Brustevich, and they're they're buds, yeah, and they're playing together in London. So I just I don't know if I'd make that trade. You know, if you'd have said that all that for Nick David, at least that we get some scoring, and a lot of those fringe guys that aren't scoring, because David McDavid just takes everybody, they're all attacking him, otherwise, he'll score. I think you know, would possibly bring more scoring to the kings because other than beating Chicago, we we've only had a four or five games out of what 20 or 30 that we've actually been scoring at a decent pace, yeah. I mean, we are defensively one of the top defensive teams in in uh in the NHL right now, but we can't score. That's our problem. Um, the ducks, on the other hand, if you put the kings and ducks together, they'd probably win the Stanley Cup. You get the Kings defense and the the uh the and the Ducks offense right now, you'd probably get a a Stanley Cup. Because there's six guys, young guys, all have outscored are supposed to be best young guy by field. All of them have more points than him. Seneca, cutter, mctavish, leo.

SPEAKER_03: 28:12

Just I'm done. And then Kevin added, I'd make the trade. I would make the trade if it was Green Tree instead of uh Laffy and one of the goalie prospects instead of one of the defensemen. I think for you guys to make it work, it would have to be Green Tree, uh Henry B, either um either one of the goalie prospects, George or Slukinsky, and the first round pick. I think if it was that, I think you guys can make it work and not make yourselves worse. But would Vancouver accept that trade? That's the thing.

SPEAKER_00: 29:00

Well, here's another thing. They're not gonna trade Carter George.

SPEAKER_03: 29:06

Yeah, well, I mean I mean right now to get Quinn Hughes, you trade Carter George.

SPEAKER_00: 29:13

They're not gonna trade Carter, they might trade Slukinski because they're both incredible, but they got three guys in the pipeline. What are you laughing at now?

SPEAKER_03: 29:26

Adam says uh copotar for Hughes, straight up. I mean, Vancouver does need center depth, you know that I mean obviously he's retiring.

SPEAKER_00: 29:42

That would be a great trade for the Kings, but I I just don't think they're going to trade the greatest king ever. I mean, as as a king, not as an NHL player in his last season. I mean, I I think we that would be a steal for the Kings. Yeah. If they could do it, but unfortunately, um, you would have fans go crazy for that. I mean, some of them would go, hell, we just got the second best defenseman in the NHL for a guy who's retiring. I think it would be as a hockey fan, a great trade for the Kings, but as a Kings fan, it's hard, it would be hard for me to trade Copotar. It really would be.

SPEAKER_03: 30:30

You know, I mean I'm gonna I'm gonna kind of go with Adam on this. I'm gonna say copotar firm McDavid and Dry Sidal straight up.

SPEAKER_00: 30:43

If if McD if even if it was as Copotar for McDavid, I think the Kings would do that in a sack. Because that would definitely make them contenders because he makes everybody around him.

SPEAKER_03: 30:57

Yeah. Crap. I'm at I'm at I'm at Kempe for Hughes. I don't think that's what I don't think that Vancouver would do that. I'm not sure the Kings would either. No, if I was a Kings, I'm doing that in a heartbeat. I'm sorry. Kempe is a great forward. He is, but he's not top 10 in his position. On the other hand, Hughes is the second best defender in the world.

SPEAKER_00: 31:39

That's true. But you know what? It ain't gonna happen anyways. Right now he's in Minnesota, they're not gonna trade him for Kempe, Copotar. Even it was both of them, they wouldn't do it.

SPEAKER_03: 31:52

See now I'm kind of curious. When do the Ducks and andor Kings play against what the wild next? Alright, so let's see, we're December. None of the Kings don't play the wild in December. Uh January. Kings play the wild on January 3rd. Cool. The Ducks, they play the wild. Come on, let's see. No, they don't play then. The ducks play the wild. Oh, Friday the second. So the wild have a back-to-back in SoCal on Friday and Saturday. So they play us on Friday, and then they play you guys on Saturday.

SPEAKER_00: 32:48

Okay, good. You're gonna tire them out for us. Thank you.

SPEAKER_03: 32:52

Yeah, great.

SPEAKER_00: 32:55

Are we gonna give updates on the game, or is that you don't want to know?

SPEAKER_03: 32:59

I don't want to know. Okay, yeah. All right, so now jersey talk. I I don't like to usually talk about, especially in the season. I don't want to be like, oh yeah, here's one jersey, blah blah. So it's I tend to I'll try to wait for multiple jerseys to come out, and then we could talk all of them at once. So here is the um the Dallas Stars' new third jersey, which should be their new primary jersey. Take a look at this. Ah, I like that. Oops, I I love the look. I think this should be their new home jersey, and then make a white version of that, and then boom, you're good. Because that is clean. They need to go back to that logo and that look. I like it. I I I love it. It's it's it's yeah, but best uh best stars jersey so far. 100% agree, and it looks great on the ice. All right, and next up is here is the Florida Panthers winter classic jersey. I like everything but those shorts. Yeah, the socks, I think the socks I can get away with. I think the shorts need to be in navy blue, and it's perfect.

SPEAKER_00: 34:18

I I do not like the shorts. They do it. He looks like an old man wearing the knee-high basketball socks with sandals. That's what he looks like to me. Sorry, Florida. I do not I I like the logo.

SPEAKER_03: 34:36

Yeah, I love I brought, I'm glad they brought back the uh the leaping cat logo and with the red. I like I said, everything except for the shorts on this one.

SPEAKER_00: 34:50

Yeah, I agree with you, Cody.

SPEAKER_03: 34:52

All right, and then here is new the the very sad-looking JT Miller, and this is I would be sad at wearing that too.

SPEAKER_00: 35:02

I just don't like it at all.

SPEAKER_03: 35:04

Yeah, it's honestly like and they talked about it on a couple of their hockey podcasts, and I agree with them. So on one of the shoulder patches, it has an apple that says uh NYR on it, New York Rangers, and they're saying if you just take out the new the New York Rangers, like the New York on the right there, and then just put the apple, they think that would have been better, and I agree, I think that would have been better.

SPEAKER_00: 35:31

I don't, yeah, I agree.

SPEAKER_03: 35:32

Then next up, and we got these just came out Thursday, I want to say. You got the Boston um stadium series, and then you got the Tampa Bay Lightning. Um, I like the Boston one just a little bit more. I just wish they would have done the the crack bear logo, the cocaine bear look looking logo. Tampa Bay, I don't I don't know what they were doing. I do like the lightning inside the the stripes and the jersey like the lettering and numbers. Uh yeah, I agree, Kevin. Boston Tampa can be one of the worst jersey matchups of all time. No, I honestly I agree.

SPEAKER_00: 36:18

I I like the colors for Tampa, but the TBL, I know Tampa Bay Lightning, it stands for that just doesn't do anything for me. Yeah, so like I would I I I agree totally, Adam. I just said that, but I like the colors. I don't like the TBL.

SPEAKER_03: 36:38

Yeah, I 100% agree.

SPEAKER_00: 36:40

I wish they would add like a lightning, like a lightning bolt or something.

SPEAKER_03: 36:45

I I wish they would have added a little bit more black to the Tampa Bay Lightning one. Yeah, but I no, I I I agree. The Boston one, like it's different. I I don't like I do and I don't like the the gloves, but I wish they would have done something a little different with it. But if you tell me what you notice about this matchup that we haven't really seen in years past with these kind of jerseys, do you know? Well, here let's let's go back. So this is the Florida Panthers home jerseys that they're gonna wear, and then here's the away jersey. Now here's both jerseys. Do you notice the difference?

SPEAKER_00: 37:40

Yeah, they're nobody's white, nobody's white.

SPEAKER_03: 37:45

Okay, hold on. There's no white uniforms. Let's just let's try not to be very racist right there. Um Adam says, bring back the 90s era black uh lightning black third, the storm jersey. See that I would that would have I would have really liked. And yeah, see, Kevin got it. The color and color, the NHL's encouraging it more to for teams to play color on color. I'm just waiting to see the ducks and kings play in their homes against the color and color jerseys. Yeah, I I I you know the orange against the black, and yeah, or even against like the San Jose with each each of our teams, like the black and teal or the orange and teal. I think that's I cannot wait for that.

SPEAKER_00: 38:32

Yeah, I I think I think it would be uh that would be awesome.

SPEAKER_03: 38:39

They should have done white jerseys with the Tampa Bay. I don't know, I don't think the what no white gloves, not white gloves. I can't see the white gloves with that just because it would look too much like the Boston gloves. So I don't mind the the blue gloves.

SPEAKER_00: 38:58

I just hey how about the light blue gloves on them?

SPEAKER_03: 39:03

The light blue gloves probably would look better, you know.

SPEAKER_00: 39:06

That the like the number or the TBL that color gloves, I think I like that better with the with the with the lightning kind of touch to it. Gotta do you know what, yo, any ladies out there have a comment? Because you guys are most of us guys aren't fashionable. So I just was curious. Any ladies out there want to comment on this?

SPEAKER_03: 39:30

Make the boss and gloves black would be better. I agree. They the those ones should have been black. 100% agree on that one, but all right. Well, that was all I had for the jersey talk. Game recaps.

SPEAKER_00: 39:49

Sure.

SPEAKER_03: 39:50

So we each got three games to talk about who do you want to go first or you want me to go first?

SPEAKER_00: 39:54

I'll go first. I think you went first the last couple of weeks, so we'll break it up. Well, you know, I talked about how the kings can't score. Well, finally, in this game, they could they could score, and on top of that, they played defense. Well, let's go to the scoring first. You know, the first period, absolutely nobody scored. This was a highly competitive game in the first period, and that's where it ended. In the second period, the kings get on the scoreboard first with War Warren Fogle as fifth from Timore on a slap shot at the 155 mark of the second period. Then finally, Andre Kuzmenko scores on the power play. Wow, we got a power play goal and didn't give up a goal this time. Uh, from Kevin Fiala, his ninth, and Dowdy is seventh on a wrist shot, two nothing Kings. Then Brant Clark gets his fourth from Turkot his fourth, and Perry is seventh to make it three nothing on a wrist shot at the 1906 mark. And after two periods, the Kings are up three to nothing. We go to the third period, and who gets another goal? But Brant Clark, who's definitely been picking. It up here lately gets his fifth from Kempe is fifteenth, and LeFerrier is sixth on a wrist shot. Four-nothing Kings. Then you know, super goal scorer Mikey Anderson gets his second from Dano is fifth, and Dowdy is eighth. Five nothing Kings. And then finally, Alex Turcott gets his second. It's unassisted at the 934 mark on a deflection, and it's six-nothing Kings, and that's how it ended. Six nothing Kings. The Kings outshot uh the Blackhawks 32 to 23. The uh baseoffs were 59.6 percent for Kings, 40.4 percent for the Blackhawks. The Blackhawks were oh for three on the power play, and the Kings were one for two. Hallelujah. Um, hits Kings 20 to 10. Something they haven't been winning. It's hits and block shots, and they did lose the block shots, but only by one. The Blackhawks 11, the Kings 10 giveaways. We keep winning that one. We need to stop giving the giveaways away. 23 to 18. We finally won the takeaways for first time in a long time. That was seven to five. Let's go to the three stars of the game. I know you probably figured out already who that would be. The one shock is um our goalie wasn't in here with a shutout. Uh, we had Mikey Anderson with the third third star with a goal, Turcott with a second star with a goal and assist, and Brand Clark, the number one star with two goals. And that's my first game.

SPEAKER_03: 43:23

All right, now we'll move on to my first game. So the Ducks hosted the Chicago Blackhawks, and this will be the last game of the season against them, thank God. Um, so the Ducks were so far have lost both games, and they lost both games in Chicago, but things definitely I would say definitely made a you know a little there was a little, I would say a little bit better of a game. Um, the ducks win this one seven to one. Um, so if I told you to guess who scored the first goal, who do you think scored the first goal? Are you talking to me? No, I'm talking to everyone. Yes, I'm talking to you. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00: 44:10

I thought you were talking to everyone. Yeah, who scored the first goal for the ducks?

SPEAKER_03: 44:14

Yes, without looking at the screen. Um I I like how I said that, and it's right there.

SPEAKER_00: 44:21

I didn't realize I didn't look at it. Uh it's got to be somebody odd who's not a big skull goal scorer. Oh, it's not Ross the boss, is it? The human traffic cone.

SPEAKER_03: 44:38

No, uh no, it's even the human traffic cone.

SPEAKER_00: 44:41

Maybe maybe a defenseman.

SPEAKER_03: 44:45

All right, you're wasting time. You you looked. So truba. I did not look. You looked. All right, Jacob Truba did score the first goal of this game made it one-nothing at Anaheim, and that was at the 10-16 mark on a slap shot. And then so it was one-nothing after one. Then we go to the second period, and this is where the ducks just took over. Uh, Mason McTavish on the power play gets his seventh of the year. Uh, Beckett Seneca, his 15th assist, and Cuttergoody's 16th assist to make it 2-0 Anaheim, and that was at the 640 mark on a wrist shot. And then Beckett Seneca also gets on the board with his ninth goal of the year. Cuttergoady's 17th assist and Gudis' fifth assist of the year, and that makes it 3-0 Anaheim at the 926 mark. And then Calorne gets on the board as well with his second of the year. Uh, assist from Ryan Strom, his third, and Minti his fifth, makes a four-nothing Anaheim, and that's at the 1609 mark. And then Leo Carlson gets his 15th of the year, uh, Kreider his seventh assist, and Terry's 23rd assist make it 5-0 Anaheim at the 1723 mark. And then that so it's 5-0 after two. We go into the third. Leo Carlson on the power play. Yay, we're finally scoring on the power play, gets his 16th of the year. Kreider's eighth assist, Lacomb's 13th assist of the year, 6-0 Anaheim, and that was at the 15-second mark in the third. But then about a minute and a half later, Tyler Bertuzzi on the power play gets his 15th of the year to make it 6-1 Anaheim. Uh that ruins the shootout for Husso. But Frankie Vetrano, Frank the tank, gets on the board with his third goal of the year. God, it's hard to believe that with all the scoring, and Frank only has three goals. He's he's been completely unlucky this year uh on shooting. Um, but Zellbugger got his seventh assist of the year, Strom's fourth assist, and that that is the last goal of the game. So the Ducks win this one 7-2-1. And now we'll go into the stats. Um, the ducks outshot them 53 to 20. Um, we actually also win the face-off percentage 51.7 to 48.3. The ducks were two for five on the power play for 40. And uh the blackhawks were one for two. Uh hits each team had 15. And then the on the for the saves, you had Husso, who stopped 19 out of 20 shots, and Solder Blom stopped 46 out of 53. Wow. So and we'll go to the three stars of the game. Why isn't it showing up? From there it is. All right, three stars of the game. Chris Kreider with a two assist uh for two points is the number three star. And you got Beckett Seneca with one goal, one assist for two points is the number two star. And then Uncle Leo himself is the number one star with two goals for two points. So on a much needed uh butt whooping they did on uh Chicago, we the ducks really needed that one after kind of stinking up the last two in against Chicago. So now it's on to your next game.

SPEAKER_00: 48:25

So on a sad note, do you know that Jacob Jacob Truba has more goals than Quentin Byfield? No, I'm serious. No, I know. Yeah, he I saw on your his fifth goal. Quentin Byfield only has four goals and is supposed to be the number one center. I find that sad. Um he needs I agree. That is sad, but but you know, you talk about bad luck. I I bet you he's hit 12-14 posts. Terry hits that that many posts in one game, but he's scoring goals. Terry's by what nine or ten goals at least, something like that.

SPEAKER_03: 49:13

Well, the duck well the ducks are scoring, and the kings are not scoring. Well, that's true, other than the Chicago game.

SPEAKER_00: 49:21

So we go to Utah to play the Storming Mormons. I know mom's gonna get mad at that, but that's okay. Uh let's let's go to the scoring. Adrian Kempe gets it started at the 750. Mark with his 10th from Fiala, his 10th on a backhand shot to put the Kings up one to nothing. Then the surprise goal scoring player that the Kings picked up as a free agent, Joel Armia with a six from Fiala, his 11th on a snapshot at the 1008 mark. And the Kings go into the second period, leading the Mammoth 2 to nothing. Then we have Dylan Gunther on the power play, gets his 11th from Keller, his 18th, and Serkachev, his 16th on a slap shot, 34 seconds into the second period, and that's how the second period ends with the Kings winning 2-1. Then starting the third period at the 327 mark, the captain Anze Kopitar with a sixth from Kempe, a 16th, and Edmondson is 10th to put the Kings up 3-1. Then it got a little exciting. Uh Clayton Keller scored his 10th from Schmaltz, his 15th, and uh Petrca his 11th at the 1215 mark. Uh, made it 3-2, and then towards the end of the game, it was the Kings always try to give away their one-goal leads if you haven't noticed this season. But somehow we stave them off, and Armia gets his second goal on an empty netter unassisted at the 18-22 mark, and the Kings beat the Mammoth 4-2. Shots on goal, Kings 27, Mammoth 21, and we lose the face-off 59.6 percent to 40.4 percent. We were 0 for 1 on the power play, they were 1 for 3 on the power play. They out hit us 32 to 17. They had more block shots, 18 to 15, and again, we win the giveaways 13-12, and the takeaways. We lost that two five to two. Yet somehow we won the game. Let's go to the three stars. Joel Armia, the third star with two goals, the second star, Clayton Keller with a uh goal and assist, and the first star Adrian Kempe with a goal and an assist. And that's game number two for me.

SPEAKER_03: 52:17

All right, game number two for the ducks this week. The ducks start the five-game road trip in Pittsburgh to take on Sidney Crosby and company. So we'll go into the first period that no Akari gets the scoring started at the 949 mark in the first on a wrist shot, and that takes uh the 1-0 lead, and that's the end of the first period. Then we go into the second period. Jackson Lacombe gets on the board for the ducks with his fourth goal of the year to tie it up 1-1. Beckett Seneca, his 16th assist, and Cutter's 18th assist of the year, and that was at the 5-19 mark, and then Troy Terry at the 14-10 mark uh takes the lead. So now the ducks are leading 2-1 on his eighth goal of the year, and now it's 2-1 Anaheim, and that's a 14-10 mark, and that was unassisted, by the way. And then Tommy Novak uh ties it up at the 1941 mark of the second, so just before uh second intermission, um, or tied 2-2, and everything was going great. I mean, I wouldn't I wouldn't say great, actually. The ducks were getting outplayed most of the game. I will say that they had their chances, and I would say like uh Husso kept us in the game for the longest time, and then I saw a call that I don't think I've ever really seen before, and I think it was still a a BS call, and I think mom would agree with me on this one, but uh Huso got called for holding the stick penalty as he's trying to reach for the puck at because he just tried to jump. The guy was trying to um whatchamacallit was trying to cover the puck, and the guy was trying to jab at it, and it just happened look like he just you know, it was just like one motion, and they said he was grabbing the stick.

SPEAKER_00: 54:27

So oops, I saw I saw that play, Cody. Um it's funny that we both have games where something like that could have either did or could have made a difference in the game, yeah. Where I thought, you know, you have regular play, and what I saw, and obviously I want us to be ahead of the ducks, of course, but I don't see that penalty. Yeah, as a hockey man, I I did not see that penalty. I mean, when a goalie's trying to make a move to make a save, and the guy sticks his stick there, and you know, maybe gets caught for a second. It it didn't look like it was done on purpose. I didn't see him grab it, it just kind of got stuck there for a second, and then the hand goes up. And you're gonna hear in my next game, I'm gonna complain about it officiating for once.

SPEAKER_03: 55:31

Yeah, um I don't complain bad call. I totally agree, yeah. And so that penalty, and I believe they scored like immediately right after. Yeah, so right here, Villy Husso, two minutes for holding the stick penalty on uh rooker McGordy, and that was at the five uh 558 mark, and they scored this goal at the 6.05 mark, or sorry, 16.05 mark. So literally like less than 10 seconds on the power play, they scored, and that gave them a 3-2 lead. And I was behind on this game. Mom already, I almost say already was was watching it live. I was a little bit behind, and I was mad. And so the ducks pull the goalie. We get a couple good chances, nothing's going in, and then Chris Kreider takes uh what was it? Uh tripping penalty, and it was a penalty. I'm not that one I understand, and that one that penalty was taken at the 1942 mark, so there's 18 seconds left. The ducks are down 3-2, and uh, yes, and we're down 3-2, and so and we we have a defensive zone face-off. So immediately the ducks win that face-off, and as soon as the ducks got the puck and went behind the ice, you just see Husso take off towards the bench to get the extra attacker, and then somehow Becca Seneca got gets the puck and takes it all the way down, throws it on net, and I see the goal horn light uh go off. You hear, and it's funny, you actually hear the penguins goal horn go off on a ducks goal, which is kind of funny, um, because you don't usually hear a goal horn when the weight team scores. Um, and I'm like, oh my god, it's a goal. But I was like, but I'm looking at like at the time, like and it said a time random. I was like, wait, that go in before or after? So they go into replay, and sure enough, you can see Beckett throw it on net, and it it looks like it hits Eric Carlson and he knocks into the net, but you do see the puck cross the line because that's what matters. If the puck crosses the line before time runs out, and sure enough, there was still one tenth of a second left when that puck went in. So the ducks tie it up after being short-handed, down a goal with 18 seconds left. It it's just it's crazy that we tied it up. Uh, let's just say uh the puck don't lie. You know how they always say like the ball doesn't lie when there's a kind of a bogus call, kind of like what happened with the holding the stick penalty. Um, so that we go into overtime, and I can tell you this who so saved us big time. He made about, I want to say about three or four huge saves in this game, and then we go into shootout. Uh Tommy Novak starts for the penguins, who so saves us there again, and then Uncle Leo again. He scores his shootout goal. So now the ducks are up one-nothing. Then Sidney Crosby goes, who so saves it. So now it's uh Troy Terry's turn, and Troy Terry got stopped by uh Tristan Jari, who's now an Edmonton Oiler. And so now it's up to uh Vili Koivanen. And he, if he scores, we then the Ducks have to shoot, and if we get stopped, the Ducks win. And sure enough, Husso again makes a great save. The ducks win in a shootout one to nothing, so the overall score is four, two, three. So here's all the scoring right there, and as you can see, um I put uh Becca Seneca, his tenth goal of the year, um shorthanded goal, and I put oh my god, because I literally made the same face that he made when the ducks drafted him. I made the like oh my god, what the kind of face that he did, and then Carlson with the shootout winner, and then uh the stats. Um let's see, I already pass the stats. I did. Stats uh the ducks got outshot horribly in this game, almost by 20. Uh 47 to 28. The ducks somehow won the face-off percentage 50.9 to 49.1, so not by much. Um, the ducks were 0 for 1 on the power play, and the penguins got went one for 5. You know, the one that was the bogus one. Um, we the ducks did out hit them 24 to 11. Philipuso. 47 saves on uh sorry, 44 saves on 47 shots. Uh was She Lops in this game? I thought it was Jari. I can't remember. I mean, uh maybe it was She Lops. Let me actually I could double check right now. Penguins. Oh, it was She Loffs, not Jari. Sorry. So She Lops was in and he saved 25 out of 28. I'm all over the place this morning. Um, but yeah, somehow the ducks come from behind, and we we take we take two points away from Pittsburgh, so we sweep the season series against them four to three for each game. So both games were really good against Pittsburgh. So man, I can say this, I was All over the place this game, especially in the third period.

SPEAKER_00: 1:01:25

Kevin said he asked Zach Dooley uh on a tweet that he replied by saying Byfield has hit seven posts uh this season, almost twice as many posts as goals. Wow, and so yeah, he hasn't been lucky. Good thing he does everything else, he does play everything else well, but we need him to score, just to throw that out. So let's go on to the last game for the Kings. Uh we're in Seattle playing on the Kraken, and again, another no-scoring first period, but in the second period, the Kraken get on the board again on a power play. Uh Vince uh Jared McCann gets his fifth from Dunn is 11th, and Stevenson is 10th to put the um Kraken up one-nothing. But then on the penalty kill, Alex LaFerrier gets his seventh from Armia his seventh at the eight eight sixteen mark to tie the game one to one. We go to the third period, and finally we we uh score on special teams again, but it's a power play. Fiala his 11th from Copatar is 10th, and Kempe is 17 at the 1440 mark. Then we're talking about I think crappy penalty calls. Um they they pull uh well I think it was DeCord that was playing against them. Um yes, they pull him out. It's six on five, and I have to look. Let me see if I can look and see this when this was at 1921 mark Borsberg, two minutes for tripping. So you know how they're down where they have their knees together, their legs out, and he was sliding over, and the guy tripped over his leg. He was sliding over to come over to to do get positioning, and they call a trip on him. Now, did he trip on him? Yeah, but he I thought the player was just as much guilty as hitting the goalie as Forsberg was sliding over to trip him, but they get a power play, and guess what? At the what was it? Uh let me just I gotta go look 1930 more four mark of the third period. Manny Bonares gets his fourth on the power play from Tolviden and uh his 10th and Dunn his 12th. So the game's tied. We go to overtime again. Another penalty. Vince Dunn gets us fifth from Tolviden his 11th, and Eberly is ninth at the 121 mark, and Seattle beats us in overtime three to two. Game should have never gone to overtime. I mean, I I don't complain nearly honestly nearly as much about the officiating as you do. But to me, this was bogus call, and it was like bogus call just what a day or so before that for who so that was not holding the stick or holding anything. I go, I don't know what sometimes these guys are seeing, but I mean, we ought to be able to go to a replay and at least verify. I mean, there is gonna be incident contact, incidental contact in a game all the time, and we we lost this game because the officiating I thought was poor at the end. You know, you I I I've been an official for high school sports, or I did it for 15 years, and the one thing they always tell you the game should not be decided by you. So if you're going to make a call, especially towards the end of a game, you want to be certain of it. If you're not certain of it, you should let it go. And I I think I mean it at least it didn't cost you guys a victory. We got yeah, we did get a point that night because we went to overtime, but you know, that game should have still been going on for at least a a proper uh well. Actually, maybe we would have won that game because they only had what 20 more uh 26 more seconds, yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:06:13

So, anyways, yeah, even Kevin said this was a very disappointing game to be at.

SPEAKER_00: 1:06:19

Oh, you were at that game? I'm so sorry, Kevin. Yeah, he said that last week. Yeah, I yeah, I forgot. Um, did you get a good look at it, Kevin? Uh, being there live. Did you think Forrestberg did anything wrong? Because certainly, when I watched every replay of it, I thought he was doing his job. I never saw it be an intentional to be a trip. I know intentional doesn't necessarily it doesn't have to be, it can be incidental, but he was sliding over to make a play, and the guy skated to him. He had to have some fault with that. Or I'll tell you what, why don't just hey, if they got they're out, just slide into him, trip over, and see if you get a penalty all the time. And you're gonna have a bunch of that. Look at soccer. Remember that one video you showed me of the soccer guy grabbing the guy's hand, hitting himself in the face and falling down. Yeah, do we want that in hockey people? I don't want it, I want it to be played like it's supposed to be played. With it like it should be.

SPEAKER_03: 1:07:21

Kevin said I was right there next to the goal, a few rows up. Not sure how you get called for a trip while making a save, and someone comes flying into you.

unknown: 1:07:31

Thank you.

SPEAKER_03: 1:07:31

I guess I I I gotta see the play. I I just want to see, I want to see what it looked like.

SPEAKER_00: 1:07:36

Yeah, well, I saw the Huso one, and that was bogus. Yeah, I mean, if if that would have been against the kings, you know, where the we got that advantage that that happened with say who so you know me, Cody, I'm always honest about penalties or fouls. So I still can't see that being called. So you want to go on to your last game?

SPEAKER_03: 1:08:05

Yeah, sorry, I was just trying to see if I can see if I could follow up the video for the the trip. See if I can pull it up. Alright, hold on, I got it right here. Let me get a screen share. Alright, here we go. So there's Forsberg right here.

SPEAKER_00: 1:08:50

See, he was just playing and the guy tripped over him. And look at and he got hurt, I think.

SPEAKER_03: 1:08:57

But yeah, because remember we said earlier in the notes that McCann is out, right?

SPEAKER_00: 1:09:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:09:05

Uh see.

SPEAKER_00: 1:09:06

But if you watch the play, he's just sliding over. Watch. Sliding over to make a play, legs out, just like I said. And he had a he he was trying to that that would be goalie interference.

SPEAKER_03: 1:09:23

No, because it's in the white, and he wasn't forced in. That's not that wouldn't be goal because he's in the white, he's fine. I can kind of see, I thought it was more like in the blue area. I can kind of see it more as a trip a little bit more now. A little just like I said, a little bit. I still think it's not the right call, but I can kind of see more why they called it. Uh see if I could pull up the yeah, disappointing. Delusion. No, 100%. Villy Husso holding the stick.

SPEAKER_00: 1:10:02

That that one I felt both of them are bogus.

SPEAKER_03: 1:10:08

Uh, I mean, I don't think this one's gonna hold a stick.

SPEAKER_00: 1:10:11

So so it's it's just like interference. You know, you have a chance to make a play on someone, you don't make that play. I I can't tell you how many times I've watched you know two or three more strides going on, and the guy interferes with a guy. Now you don't get the two on one you would have got because he interferes with them and they don't call that. And that happens, that's happened a lot to us.

SPEAKER_03: 1:10:40

Yeah, I don't see a video for the who'so one. The whoso one, so I'm not gonna try and play it. But uh you got you got another game. Do you want to do your do you want to go over your stats real quick?

SPEAKER_00: 1:10:54

Oh no, I already deleted it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:10:57

Okay, um, and here's Kevin seeing it now. I can see Forsberg initiating the contact, but still I feel like he's making a reasonable play to make a save. It feels harsh, yeah. I I I can see both ways, but yeah. Because now I thought he was like in the blue trying to make a save, but now seeing that, like he wasn't in his crease, he was moving to still kind of you know to try to get no touchy goalie means goalie touchy no one to he wasn't really trying to touch anybody, he was trying to move. Yeah, but think about how people get tripped. You're trying to move and you trip a guy.

SPEAKER_00: 1:11:44

I mean, that's kind of tripping, but I can see most of the tripping is done because you keep your stick down low and you take their skate out. Yeah, they you there's there are a few with leg to leg, but when a guy's already sprawled sprawled out, and all he is is trying to get back into his position, and the other guy's legs just happens to be there. I don't know. I don't I don't agree with it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:12:12

No, I I agree.

SPEAKER_00: 1:12:13

Yeah, you gotta let some things go. I would not have called that.

SPEAKER_03: 1:12:18

I can't find the who so penalty one.

SPEAKER_00: 1:12:23

It didn't cost you guys, it didn't cost you guys a game.

SPEAKER_03: 1:12:27

No, but I lost some hair pulling my hair out, so in that one. All right, but uh just a quick here's your your stat your stats for that game. I I gotta I got to forgot to change the score again. I'm so bad at this. That's I think everything else looks right except for the score at the top.

SPEAKER_00: 1:12:45

So shots were 33 26 for the Kraken. Uh Kings won the faceoff 52.2 to 47.8. Kings were one for five on the power play. This is what really killed us. They were three for five. All three goals on the power play. Three for six. Oh, it looked like five. It's really small. Um, hits were even. Wow, we actually got even on the hits for once. Uh Forsberg, I thought he played a good game. He had 30 saves on 33 shots. The chord was uh 24 saves on 26 shots. Man, that there's the stats.

SPEAKER_03: 1:13:28

So I'm just saying, I'll just see if I can find that the thing one more time. But all right, so now we'll go to the ducks last uh last game. Uh very display. Head over to Long Island to take on the New York Islanders. So now we got a cold uh colder trophy race between Schaefer and Seneca facing against each other. And if I had a penny for every time the ducks gave up a first career goal to someone, I think I'd be a millionaire at this point. Um, Travis Mitchell got his first career goal against the Ducks and at the 18818 mark, so that uh they took a one-nothing lead. And then the Ducks get into some penalty trouble, and Anders Lee, not once, but twice, scores on the power play, so makes it 2-0 and then 3-0. Um, so now it's 3-0 after the first period for New York, and then we go into the second period, and Leo Carlson gets his 17th of the year to make it 3-1. Troy Terry has 24th assist of the year, Owen's eighth, and that was at the 5 uh 34 mark in the second, and then we go into the third, and then Troy Terry, shorthand, scores his ninth of the year, paling his sixth assist, and Lacomb's 14th assist, and that was at the 237 mark. And at that point, I'm like, okay, are we gonna do another comeback? But then Simon Holstrom, by the way, this was just a horrible whatchamacallit, um, defensive effort. But I would say, and I think that's the first time I've said that all year, where he just got completely just burned by Holstrom, and then Holstrom just pretty much had a wide open uh field day to against Husso, and then he's uh he beats Husso on the far post. So there goes the ducks' chances of the comeback because then Ryan Polak gets his first of the year to make it 5-2 New York, and the ducks lose this one five to two against the Islanders. And like I said, I a lot of like I said, a lot of penalties called towards the ducks. You had the strome, the two minutes for high sticking, that was a high stick. The boarding one, I don't understand how that was boarding. I can see cross-checking, but not boarding. Um, Jackson Lacomb got two minutes for holding, which that was not a hold, and then they called a two minutes for Anthony Duque Duclair, and I was kind of shocked. They called that, and uh, those were literally like what 40 seconds apart from each other. So the ducks only power play they got this game was literally 40 seconds long. That was it. So uh I believe the Carlson one was on the four on four time too. So but the ducks will play uh New York at home on March 4th, and then we'll go into the stats. We have oops. I already skipped it. Um, the ducks got outshot 37 to 33. The ducks lost the face-off percentage. What a shocker! Uh, 54 to 3 to 50 45.7. Like I said, the ducks were over one of the power play, and the islanders were two for four. Uh, we got out hit 20 to 15, and like I said, Husso saved 32 out of 37, and big save, Dave. I would say he played very well this game. I I I'm not gonna deny that. Uh, he stopped a lot of great shots, uh, and he stopped 31 out of 33. Uh, the three-star of the game is you're not gonna see any ducks players. Uh, Riddick was the number three star with uh two goals against average and a 939 save percentage. Holstrom with the one goal, two assists for three points is the number two, and then Andersley, who had two goals and two assists for four points, he's your number one star. So, not a very good uh game from the ducks. I would say all around. I feel like the ducks could have been a lot better in this game. So that is it for the ducks games of the week. And that's the last game, right?

SPEAKER_00: 1:18:06

That was so I don't have any other games for the last week, though.

SPEAKER_03: 1:18:10

No, all right.

SPEAKER_00: 1:18:11

So you have one you predicted last week, but it's being played right now, it's being played right now, and I wanted to predict it before yeah, it but it's going on next week's, so you know that's fine because anyways, one thing you said, Adam, uh, no touchy goalie means goalie no touchy. That you know that happens all the time. They're running into the goalie. Sometimes they get a little too close to the blue. The goalie gives them a cross checkout, they don't call that, but they're gonna call uh a goalie doing a goalie move, and it wasn't really a harsh trip, yeah. So, you know, I I've I've seen uh Quickie in his day take a lot more punishment and not get any calls.

SPEAKER_03: 1:19:03

Well, I mean, Forsberg is the one that initiated the contact, so I think that's why they called it.

SPEAKER_00: 1:19:09

Well, he was right there, they were both right there. All he did was try and go back into his net. Yeah, I I just I can't see making a trip call on that. Yeah, you take everything into consideration, it wasn't like he didn't have a stick there and pull it up like they do.

SPEAKER_03: 1:19:32

Yeah, uh, I was just messing around about the goalies situation.

SPEAKER_00: 1:19:36

I missed the 90s when goalies were able to dish it back to yeah, so the game the game the game is is a little less physical than it used to be.

SPEAKER_03: 1:19:49

Yeah, so you want to do some predictions?

SPEAKER_00: 1:19:52

I'm ready. Uh I've already got all mine, even on the notes. Yours weren't there. Are they there now?

SPEAKER_03: 1:20:00

Uh I'm working on it right now. So I've I've been having issues with my Apple notes on my desktop. So games. Well, I'm I'm gonna let me go through.

SPEAKER_00: 1:20:08

I'll I'll go through all my games. Um, and this is for this will be the episode episode 92 games. The Kings uh at home against the Flames tonight. I have the Kings winning five to two. Then Monday they're at the stars. I have the Kings losing that game five three. I think the stars are one of the more elite teams in hockey right now. Yeah, obviously with Colorado uh two. Then they're Wednesday, they're playing against the Panthers in Florida. I have them beating the Panthers 4-3. Then on Thursday, uh back to back, the Kings at Tampa Bay. I have them losing to the Lightning 4-2. So I have the Kings going 2-2. Uh, and on top of that, let's go back to this the games we just talked about for last week. I went one and two, should have been two and one, but one and two. I'm 12 and 18, six games under 500. Cody went one for two, he's 14 and 17, three games under 500.

SPEAKER_03: 1:21:22

Yeah. All right. Um, my predictions for the week. Um, so on Monday, the ducks will play in uh New York against the Rangers, and this will be Kreider, Kreider's and Truba's first time playing in New York since they've been traded to Anaheim. And I'm predicting a three-nothing loss because the Rangers are horrible at home. So I'm praying they keep it that way.

SPEAKER_00: 1:21:48

I'm looking on the notes and you put win three to nothing. I said three-nothing win. You said they have a lot they're gonna lose. Did I say they're gonna lose? That's what I thought you said.

SPEAKER_03: 1:21:59

Uh no, I said you have a win three-nothing. Win three-nothing.

SPEAKER_00: 1:22:04

Oh, by the way, if you did you forgot, uh Cody picked that they were gonna beat the devils today five to three, also. Yes, um win three-nothing. I got you.

SPEAKER_03: 1:22:15

Yes, three-win nothing. And then on Tuesday, um, at uh the ducks will play in Columbus, and I'm predicting a five-four win. I I did say lose, or I did I said win. If I said loss, then I I did not mean to say that. Well, we gotta correct.

SPEAKER_00: 1:22:35

I just why I asked you, yeah, because it had an you did put it back in our notes. I saw three-nothing win, and you said three-nothing loss. Uh no, and it is the Rangers, and they haven't been that good. I thought at home odd, yeah. Odd odd uh oh okay.

SPEAKER_03: 1:22:53

Well, mom said I said lose, so I meant win. Okay, 3-0.

SPEAKER_00: 1:22:58

Okay, we got that corrected.

SPEAKER_03: 1:23:00

Okay, and then Friday, the ducks uh host the Dallas Stars, and I'm predicting a 5-2 loss. Just because Dallas is just on another level right now. The ducks do seem to play Dallas pretty well, but I mean just what? What's wrong?

SPEAKER_00: 1:23:25

Earth to dad. You play the jackets twice?

SPEAKER_03: 1:23:29

Yes.

SPEAKER_00: 1:23:29

Oh you oh you're predicting next Saturday's game. Okay. That's that threw.

SPEAKER_03: 1:23:34

Oh, did I not oh I did not mean to do that. I guess I could take that one out.

SPEAKER_00: 1:23:40

You don't want to predict that yet. I I'm okay with that too.

SPEAKER_03: 1:23:44

Yeah, so alright, so then the plus my mind might change by next week. So yes, on for Friday against the Dallas Stars, I'm predicting a 5-2 loss against the stars.

SPEAKER_00: 1:23:57

SPEAKER_03: 1:23:58
