The Mask & The Mic
The Mask & The Mic brings together two longtime voices from the sports world for real conversation beyond the game. Former NHL goaltender and Original Mighty Duck Guy Hebert and veteran broadcaster Kent French sit down to talk sports, entertainment, and life with honesty, humor, and perspective. From stories behind the scenes to conversations with athletes, entertainers, and influential voices, this is a space where experience meets curiosity — and where the talk continues after the final whistle.

Hosts Guy Hebert and Kent French introduce The Mask and the Mic and preview trade deadline talk, then share weekend stories about a child’s birthday sleepovers, an aerial silks class, and a night out at Muldoon’s, plus golf and an upcoming Hoag Classic celebrity tournament. They shift to NHL trade deadline discussion, focusing on the stress and locker-room noise around rumors, no-trade clauses, and waivers, including Hebert’s 2001 experience when Teemu Selanne was traded and Hebert was put on waivers and claimed by the Rangers.
They discuss the Ducks’ outlook, emphasizing roster chemistry, long-term moves over rentals, and the importance of a strong goaltending tandem, including Dostal’s workload and Ville Husso as injury insurance. Hebert recalls favorite goalie tandems from his career, and they praise the Ducks’ scoring, comeback wins, and shootout success, highlight Beckett Sennecke’s rookie production and Coach Q’s influence, and tease future goalie-fight discussion and upcoming guests.
