(01:20):
Entertainment Network.
Sorry, guys.
Old man likes to switch thingsaround a little bit.
How are you doing today, Cody?

SPEAKER_00 (01:29):
I I I was a little confused with your intro.
So if anyone else is wasconfused, you're not the only
one.

SPEAKER_04 (01:36):
Oh, you know, it's been one of those weeks, Cody a
lot rougher than normal, and youknow, it's I got to go to the
men's breakfast at church, andyou know, it was just so
refreshing.
And after this bad week, I justhopefully some people get the

(02:01):
the uh the joke of that withwhat Mr.
Rogers, I believe.
You know, you know.
I a little humor to start offthe podcast.
It hasn't been that much of afun week in total, but um now
we're gonna make the best of it.
This weekend's here, and we'regonna make the best of it and

(02:24):
keep moving on and and uh forgetabout the past and go on.
Try, you know, happy life, happylife, happy wife, happy life,
happy house or spouse, happyhouse.
All those kind of things.
So we want to get into duck newsor king news first.

SPEAKER_02 (02:47):
I'll let you lead off since you have so much.

SPEAKER_00 (02:50):
God, you know, I I worked so hard on this this
week.
Yeah, you worked so hard on it,I did two-thirds of it for you.

SPEAKER_04 (03:00):
Yeah, well, that's the kind of week it was, yeah,
just to be honest.
So uh, you know, if you're trulya really super Kings fan, you
already know this, but KyleBurrows was put on waivers, he
cleared waivers, has now beenloaned to Ontario, and you know,
Corey Perry has now played in1,400 career games.

(03:25):
Um, not to mention that he'sprobably the one bright spot,
one of the bright spots for theKings this so far this season.
And Drew Dowdy has scored themost goals by a defenseman in LA
Kings history, uh, with theempty uh empty net goal he got
versus the Winnipeg Jets.
Uh taking out ex uh generalmanager Rob Blake for the for

(03:50):
the lead on that.
So and that's it on Kings News.
Uh there's more to talk aboutthe Kings that I want to talk
about, but we'll go to you knowduck news, league news, and
we'll get to my my furtherthoughts about the kings in some
time after, excuse me, afterthat.

(04:10):
So let's go to Duck News, Cody.

SPEAKER_00 (04:13):
All right, so for uh first bit of duck news is Drew
Hellison became the seconddefenseman in franchise history
with a short-handed point inconsecutive games, joining Cam
Fowler, and he did it in uh twogames from January 21st to 23rd
in 2017.
I said Drew Hellison's playingvery well right now, and he's

(04:36):
playing on the top line rightnow with Lacomb.
So he's not playing like easyagainst easy opponents, he's on
the top line.
So who who did they trade to gethim?
That was part of the Josh Mansontrade.

SPEAKER_04 (04:55):
Makes that trade look a little better right now,
doesn't it?
Than it was than we we'veoriginally thought.

SPEAKER_00 (05:01):
Yeah, I'll it was I want to say it was Hellison and
a second round pick, and I don'tremember who the second round
pick was.
Although I want to, I actuallykind of do want to go back and
look because the ducks have donevery well in their second round
picks, so I'm just curious onwho it was.
So after I'm done with this, I'mgonna try to look it up.

(05:21):
Um, but uh next bit of news isLeroy Carlson became the third
duck skater to post a pointstreak of six plus games before
the age of 21, following PaulKorea, who did it in eight games
in 1994 and 95, and MasonMcTavish, who did it in seven
games with in 2023 and 2024.

(05:45):
So well, yeah, I can't tell youwell, now it's seven games for
Carlson.
Yeah, so I should fix that.

SPEAKER_04 (05:56):
That's okay.
I think they get the idea, soit's yeah, now they already know
you just did fix it.

SPEAKER_00 (06:01):
Right, yeah.
But you know, the ducks had thethird pick, and and we shocked

(06:25):
everyone, including BeckettSeneca, and we took him.
So yeah, because he wasprojected to be like ninth, I
believe.

SPEAKER_04 (06:32):
I want to say like eight to ten range, like seven
to ten.
But well, I think a couple ofthem had him at the nine when
they uh the draft happened.
They talked about it because Iwatched the draft, so um, and
he's played well, he's playedvery well, yes.
I mean, everybody's played verywell, through.

(06:54):
Um, I mean, it's the Kings fanwas was the most optimistic
about the ducks doing well thananybody else.
Did anybody ever did anybodyelse catch that on the earlier
podcast?
Oh, which one?
Just our earlier podcast when wewere talking about you know how
well the ducks might do beforethe the season even started.

(07:16):
Yeah, I probably was the most umoptimistic.
I'm the one most optimistic andclosest to what has happened
than anybody else, but yeah, Idon't think anybody dreamed uh
at least right now, they theylook unstoppable.

SPEAKER_00 (07:38):
Yeah, let's just say we're putting up more touchdowns
than the Raiders.

SPEAKER_04 (07:45):
Um but so next bit and I've gone to the Super Bowl
many more times than theRaiders.

SPEAKER_00 (07:54):
Oh, I mean, I I already did today, so I already
went one more than them.
So um Lukas Stil Stahl was namedthe number one star of the week
in the NHL, posting 300 record,uh 1.63 goals against average
and a 948 save percentage and aleague high 91 saves.

(08:17):
So what a great week for LokLukash Dostall.
He deserves every single thing.
He's he's keeping us in these inthese high event games, they're
not like just boring games, allthese games are very high event,
very fun to watch games, andhe's keeping us in all these

(08:38):
games.

SPEAKER_04 (08:39):
Yeah, well, he better continue because the
games aren't getting any easierthis next week.

SPEAKER_00 (08:47):
Oh no, yeah.
I'm planning on getting intothat later, too.
Um, and then I'm gonna skip acouple.
Uh actually, I'll talk aboutthis.
Uh, I'm gonna skip one of thembecause the other one I want to
talk about more.
Um, the Anaheim Ducks forwardCutter Gautier recorded his
first NHL hat trick as part of aleague-leading 10-point

(09:07):
performance uh at for the weekas our uh NHL player NHL PA
player of the week.
I forgot what the PA stuff Iknow it's players association
association.

SPEAKER_02 (09:20):
Okay, that's not that I'm okay.

SPEAKER_00 (09:22):
Yeah, but so Cutter Gaudier was named the the player
of the week for that.
So congratulations to Cutter.
Um speaking of uh Cutter uh andLeo actually per NHL stats, the
last set of teammates to recordsimultaneous point streaks of at
least seven, uh both at the ageof 21 or younger are McDavid and

(09:45):
Dry Sidal in 2016-2017.
So I'm not we're not we're not,I mean, I'm not saying or anyone
saying, like, wow, uh you'resaying that Leo and um and
cutter are like cutter and drysidle, a man could dream.
But well, I'm just sayingthey're looking really good

(10:06):
right now and they're playingwell.
I I would say probably mom wasprobably the most optimistic
about the decks.
I was trying to be morerealistic.

SPEAKER_04 (10:15):
I I I wasn't talking about I was talking about the
people on the on the actualpodcast, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (10:22):
Mom is one of the most optimistic me, like she's
like, Hey, our power play lookshorrible, and I'm like, we've
already scored like six powerplay goals in seven games.

SPEAKER_04 (10:37):
So, you know, you think about angels, you think
about the ducks, you know.
Mom is more positive thananybody else.
I would say I'm the mostnegative, I would I'm the most
negative about the angels.
Oh, I'm right behind you aboutthe angels.

(10:57):
I mean, because you have youheard the latest news that uh
Ward and Adele are possibly onthe trade block, the two guys
that that actually led them inRBIs and home runs.

SPEAKER_00 (11:11):
Yeah, well, I'm still dooming gloom, but I
expect the worst from Adam.

SPEAKER_04 (11:17):

SPEAKER_00 (13:46):
I can only hear you through my speaker.
Yeah, I I know it's all on myend, but I don't I don't know
how to I'm trying to figure outwhy I can't hear him.

SPEAKER_04 (14:02):
Mom can hear both of us.
So here's the thing.
It's you this time.
I don't know what I don't knowwhat's going on.
I don't either.
And and and Kevin, um Kevin'snot curious.

(14:23):
If if you are listening or youlisten to the podcast later,
next Saturday, we want the youto come in and talk about you're
gonna try all the differentthings I talked about on the
food thing, and we want we wantto hear your perspective on it.
So but maybe you're busy today,you know, because life is crazy.

(14:44):
I know how crazy life is becausemine's been super crazy.
This is weird.
Uh okay.

SPEAKER_00 (14:52):
Move keep going on duck news.
So where was I on uh so allright?
Cutter gotier.
Um you did all that.

SPEAKER_04 (15:02):
You did all that.

SPEAKER_00 (15:03):
No, I didn't do the last one.

SPEAKER_04 (15:05):
Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 (15:06):
Uh Cutter Gautier is the first player to score 10
goals in his first 12 games,aged 21 or younger, since Connor
McDavid and Austin Matthews didit in 2018.
Wow, that's just that's prettycool.
I'm still trying to figure outthis whole thing, and then um,
last bit of news is that perElliot Friedman on the 32

(15:30):
Thoughts podcast, Elliot thinksthat Panarin and the Ducks could
be a fit.
If the Ducks look to add anotherpiece, um I honestly, can we I
like I said I love the additionof Truba.
I hate I know I hated it, butright, but right now he's
playing really good, and we allknow how much we all love Chris

(15:51):
Kreider right now, but it's okayif the ducks can trade players
from other teams, right?
We don't just have to be the NewYork, you know, ducks of
Anaheim.
So it would be nice to, youknow, you know, trade with
another team.
And plus, if we're gonna playwith or trade with other teams,

(16:14):
I don't want, I think whatPanier's like what 34 years old,
and he's probably stillexpecting at least like a decent
like contract after this.
If we're gonna go out and tradefor someone and spend capital,
I'd rather us get like a someonethat's gonna be in their prime
or almost in their prime, likesomeone that we can use for

(16:35):
years, not just you know, two,maybe three.
I'd rather have someone we'regonna have for like five to
eight years, you know.

SPEAKER_04 (16:43):
Well, you know what?
My thought is on this is rightnow, why would you want to
change the atmosphere whenthey've been playing so
incredibly well?
Now, it could be a back burnerthing.
Say, say this is just a hotstreak, and then you know, a bad
streak comes, or at least aslower streak comes, and they

(17:09):
might need a boost.
Pick if you could pick somebodyup like that, it's not gonna
cost you somebody important.
Yes, yes, honey.
I do believe if it's not broken,don't fix it right now.
But I don't think they'retalking about right now, they're
probably talking about the tradedeadline area, you know, maybe
necessary to go into theplayoffs.

(17:30):
Who knows?
But you don't want to hurt thethe way the team is melded
together, they've played likeveterans who have been playing
with each other for 10 years.
That I mean, that's what itlooks like to me.
So, I mean, it's just I'm blownaway.

(17:52):
I am so blown away.

SPEAKER_00 (17:54):
Headphone problem.
I can hear you perfectly finenow.
Let's hope that doesn't change.

SPEAKER_04 (17:58):
Well, thanks for blaming me to start with.

SPEAKER_01 (18:02):
Did it change again?

SPEAKER_04 (18:05):
I didn't do anything.

SPEAKER_01 (18:07):
What the hell is going on?
Okay.

SPEAKER_00 (18:12):
All right, talk.
I'm talking.
All right, whatever.
I don't understand this.
Um, I'm confused.
I hope it's just stream yard foron my end because I don't know
what else I'm doing wrong.
But anyway, so no, I I agree.
If it's not broke, don't fix it.
And no, I a hundred percentagree.
But and honestly, like I'd beokay if the ducks kind of just

(18:34):
did what the Montreal Canadiansare doing.
Um, like they were, I mean, Idon't know if they were in the
playoffs.
Well, I know they were towardslike the playoff race around the
trade deadline, but they didn'tpick up anyone, and they didn't
trade anyone.
I think they just stayed pat andthen they made their moves in
the offseason.
And I think that's probably thebetter way of doing all this.

SPEAKER_04 (18:58):
Well, if they play like they've been playing and
they play like this all year,they're they're gonna finish
first on the last.
There's there's no doubt in mymind.
I don't think anybody else is isplayed as consistently well as
the ducks have.
It's it's been crazy.
Um you know, I'm not used tobeing on this side of the of the

(19:24):
oh kevin's back.
There he is.

SPEAKER_00 (19:28):

snack ideas at work, and it'sgoing over big.

SPEAKER_00 (23:58):
All right.
So what you're saying is we needto start doing like a food snack
kind of thing at the end of thepodcast.

SPEAKER_04 (24:06):
Well, we could do it every so often, not maybe not
every episode.
I think we're gonna have somereally creative stuff coming on
uh in the off season.
Uh like I said, uh, whatever.
Well, what were we gonna namethe umpire one?
I can't remember.

SPEAKER_00 (24:20):
So Christina said behind the plate.

SPEAKER_04 (24:24):
That's good.
We'll do behind the plate.
Maybe we'll do that you know,once off season and have some of
our umpire friends on.
Maybe we get a few guys thathave never been on the podcast.
Yeah, and I'm I'm I mean, we'llprobably have Eric and Adam on
for sure this next offseason,but you know, maybe we'll get a

(24:46):
couple other guys to be able tocome on if they're brave enough.

SPEAKER_00 (24:49):
Oh, and then uh we'd love to hear some fast food
takes from you guys in theoffseason, too.
I mean, we can always add them alittle bit during like the the
year and have a little fun withit.

SPEAKER_04 (25:00):
Oh, absolutely.
I know uh a lot of people wantmy spaghetti sauce secrets.
I I haven't really called ballfour.
That's from Adam.
That's a good one.
That is I like that one too.
I've only shared that recipewith my daughter so far.
I'm not sure I'm willing to givethat one up.

(25:23):
But I I know I know they don'teven have it.
Wow, I brought I brought mywife's potato recipe um to uh a
potluck at work, and they wantedthe everyone.

SPEAKER_00 (25:39):
Everyone wants that potato recipe.

SPEAKER_04 (25:41):
Yeah, well, I did give it out to a couple people
that did ask for it.

SPEAKER_00 (25:46):
Shame.
No shame.

SPEAKER_04 (25:47):
Hey, you know what?
We gotta we gotta share thatlove with everyone in the world.
So I'm not now that I don't knowif love would be the right term,
especially the name of the well,we're not gonna talk about the
name, but I I did mention it infront of bosses, and HR said we

(26:09):
gotta pick another name forthat.
Better than crack.
I don't think that would havegone over big with our HR
either, Cody.
So let's move on to more leaguenews.
You want me to take the next oneand get us rolling, or are you
gonna do it?

SPEAKER_00 (26:29):
No, I'll do it.
Uh, Chris Tanev of the MapleLeaps was stretched off after a
collision with Flyers rookieMatt Bay Mitchkoff.
And I believe they said he wasdischarged already.
And uh I know I believe they puthim on the IR.
You know, it's just shame.
I like Chris Tanev, nothingagainst him.

(26:49):
They just said it's okay.

SPEAKER_04 (26:56):
Uh but yeah, I had him not not at my work, it
didn't say it was okay.

SPEAKER_00 (27:03):
I'll try to come up with something.
Um, but yeah, I I hope ChrisTennis has a nice, uh, healthy
and speedy recovery.
I've always liked uh the wayChris Taniff plays.

SPEAKER_04 (27:14):
Yeah, he's he he he he's a he's a true hockey
player, yeah.
Good guy.
We don't ever we don't wantanybody to get injured like
that, anyways.
Um on to other news sabres,Captain Rasmus Dallin is taking
a temporary leave of absencefrom the team.

SPEAKER_00 (27:34):
Yeah, that has to do with his uh fiance because
during the off season she had Iwant to say like a heart
condition and stuff like that.
I I think she had like a I wantto see a heart transplant, or
she had something done with herheart over the offseason.
So I believe he just wants to bethere and make sure she's okay,

(27:57):
stuff like that.
So, like I said, I hopeeverything's okay with Rosman's
Doline's uh fiance andeverything.
Like again, like we don't likewish any ill will on anyone, you
know.
Yes, I know the sabres need him,but I think his fiance needs
him, uh hint needs him more.

SPEAKER_04 (28:14):
Well, when it comes to something like that, you
gotta take care of the peopleyou love, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (28:19):
So, and then uh next bit of news uh Alex Oveshkin
finally hit the 900 goalmilestone, becoming the first
player in NHL history to reachthat mark.

SPEAKER_04 (28:32):
So here's a quick question He's out in the
foreseeable future.
Do you see someone uh reaching900 goals?
No, and the reason I sayforeseeable future, I mean you
could have the next WayneGretzky, and really funny thing

(29:00):
is, is he's the second leadinggoal scorer in hockey history,
and he really wasn't uh he wasmore of a passer than a goal
scorer.
Yeah, imagine if if he wouldhave been a just a more of a
goal scorer, yeah.
He uh avechkin would still betrying to reach him.

SPEAKER_03 (29:18):
Oh, yeah, but we just don't know is someone gonna
be like that ever again, and wesay you know, never, but we said
that about the babe roof homerun record, we said that you
know, about the Kareem AbdulJabbar scoring, you know,

(29:39):
record, and those things haveall been broken.

SPEAKER_00 (29:42):
Yeah, that's very true.
So records are meant to bebroken.

SPEAKER_03 (29:48):
I they are, and even that one may be in the future.
I just don't see it in theforeseeable future.

SPEAKER_00 (29:55):
I mean, if Cutter Gode is going the way he's going
and the way he shoots, but I'mjust saying that's he's so far
away.
I was joking, I'm joking.

SPEAKER_03 (30:05):
But like I don't know if you saw what Kevin just
said 50 goals a season for atleast 18 seasons will be
required to get there.
Yeah, you're right.
It's that it's it's anoverwhelming thought that this
could happen again, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 (30:21):
But then again, you know, whoever thought Gordy
Howell's record would be brokenand Wayne Gretzky did it, and
now Alex Ovechkin has done it.
And you know, we can never saynever.
On to other news, yeah.
Um, the sharks have placed asecond overall pick.
Michael Misa on the injuredreserve on Thursday with a lower

(30:44):
body injury.
So wow.
I mean, he just got drafted andhe's he's playing up like Bedard
did and Celebrini did.
You know, number two, the numbertwo pick after uh Schaefer from
uh the Islanders.

(31:05):
And he's played, he's playedwell for the Sharks.
Sharks are surprisingly, Ithink, surprisingly talented,
not nearly as dominating as theducks been, but you know, the
these teams that we talked aboutin the preseason, all I
mentioned the ducks, I mentionedthe sharks, and I mentioned even

(31:27):
Chicago and Montreal is notnearly as young young as those
teams are, but an up-and-comingteam, and all of them have
played better than expected.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (31:40):
So all right, okay.
Uh last bit of league news isthe Dallas Stars will host a
stadium series game at the eight80,000 seat ATT Stadium in
Arlington, Texas on February20th, 2027.
And there has been no opponentannounced.

(32:03):
As everyone calls it, there'sgonna be uh a stadium series and
Jerry's World.
Good old Jerry's World, huh?
Yeah, so um like I said, uh whowould you like to see play in

(32:23):
the game against the stars?
There's two I have in mind.
Um Colorado or Winnipeg?
See, I would I agree withColorado.
And then the other one was themammoth.

(32:47):
I mean, I would love to see somenew third jerseys from or like a
one-time mammoth jersey for thestadium series.

SPEAKER_02 (32:55):
I I I I the Mammoth, I I like their jersey.

SPEAKER_00 (33:00):
Um the one I forgot, I think it was Merrick that said
this.
I if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong.
Um, but they're saying what weshould do is have a little round
robin with three teams with uhColorado, Dallas, and Carolina.
They'll play two uh a gameagainst each other and a round

(33:21):
robin, and whoever wins getsranting in.

SPEAKER_04 (33:29):
I don't think Dallas will go for that one.

SPEAKER_00 (33:31):
Yeah, I don't think I don't think so either.
But I thought that was I thoughtthat was funny.

SPEAKER_01 (33:38):
Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_04 (33:39):
He he has stayed in the uh well, not no two of them
are in the central, two youknow, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (33:45):
That that was the main reason why he went to
Dallas was just because thewhole he got mad that the
Colorado traded him and hewanted he's like, well, if
they're gonna trade me, I'mgonna face them for the next
eight uh eight to nine years andtorture them.
Okay, but you ready again togame recaps?
I am all right.

(34:05):
I'll let you lead off first.
Okay, let's go to game one.
Ducks Dallas Stadium game.
Uh I can't like as much as Iwould love to see that, I don't
know if that would actuallyhappen.
But that would be interesting tosee, though.

(34:29):
I think it's been an avalanche,though, in my honest opinion.

SPEAKER_01 (34:35):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 (34:36):
Well, you have uh usually the top three in the
central have been Avalanche, uhDallas and and Winnipeg.
That's why he said Dallas RM.

SPEAKER_00 (34:46):
Or I mean, I wouldn't mind actually now that
I think about it, what if theydid a wild versus stars?

SPEAKER_04 (34:53):
That you know, because Dallas used to be yeah,
in Minnesota.
Yeah, that would be a good one.
Good thought, Cody.
I I had not actually even ohsee, Adam even thought of it
too.

SPEAKER_01 (35:09):
Dallas, Minnesota, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 (35:10):
There it goes.
That's the one that's gonna be.
It's gonna be Dallas, Minnesota.
Done.
Decisions over, NHL.
Red my mind, right?
Yeah, I'm just saying, NHL.
You heard it here first.
Okay.
And don't argue.
I have spoken.

(35:31):
So let's go on to the hear thegaze.

SPEAKER_00 (35:36):
What's that from?
Oh god.
What there's a show or a movie Iremember watching.
And Mandalorian Mandalorian.
The Mandalorian, thank you.
I have spoken.
Yes.
Yes, okay.
The little what was that?
Yes, I rugnet or whatever.

(35:57):
I can't remember that whateverwhatever species he is.

SPEAKER_01 (36:03):
I can't remember.

SPEAKER_04 (36:07):
Oh god, thank you, Cody.
I needed that laugh.
Oh god.
I can't remember can I get ontomy game, please?

SPEAKER_00 (36:15):
This is the way.
No, I have spoken.
This is the way.
I was like, I knew that soundedfamiliar.
I was like, I've spoken.
I was like, I don't know what Ibefore when I said it, it came
into my head.

SPEAKER_04 (36:27):
I did not think about Mandalorian, and it wasn't
Grogu.

SPEAKER_00 (36:33):
No, he was saying, like, he's just saying all the
oh, yeah, the names, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 (36:39):
You know, and this is the way, it's just the way he
says it on The Mandalorian.
I love it every time he'd sayit.
So, I mean, it was just goodwriting by the Mandalorian.
We need we need anotherMandalorian season and soon.
I think it's a movie.

(37:00):
Whatever.
Give us something because I I'mI'm uh Mandalorian deplete right
now.
Um, so in this game completed,yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (37:11):
Well, that sounded really wrong.

SPEAKER_04 (37:13):
Yeah, you took it wrong.
It's not how I meant it.

SPEAKER_00 (37:19):
Uh no, that's what I said.

SPEAKER_04 (37:22):
Oh, all right, go.
So you think if you outshoot ateam double, you'd win the game,
right?
Well, let me tell you about theKings and the Devils.
And the Kings had 44 shots, andthe Devils had 22 shots.

(37:43):
Yet the game wasn't even close.
So let's go to the scoringfirst.
Hersher gets his third and thefirst from Lake or Luke Hughes,
which he hasn't played all thatwell overall for them.

(38:05):
I mean, to my to me, he's themost disappointment of the
Hughes brothers, and that waslike one minute and 22 seconds
into the game to give New Jerseya 1-0 lead, and that's how it
ended after the first period.
We go to the second period, anduh Hello How Hallone Halinan

(38:26):
Halanan from Glen Denning andChola Whiskey at the 312 mark
make it 2-0 devils.
That's how the second periodended.
Third period, Dawson Mercer getsa seventh.
Shorthanded, short-handed again.

SPEAKER_00 (38:45):
Again, the first one.

SPEAKER_04 (38:47):
No, it's been a trait going on this season, not
this just this game, multiplegames.
I I think we've given up moreshorthanded goals than anybody.
It was an ug nut.

SPEAKER_00 (39:03):
I was close.
I know I said tugnut rug nut,but I was kind of close.
Okay, stop.

SPEAKER_01 (39:11):
I'm gonna start laughing again.
That just makes me laugh.
I was kind of close.

SPEAKER_00 (39:19):
All right, continue.
Okay, spoken.

SPEAKER_04 (39:22):
Before I continue, did you have to look that up,
honey, or did you know that?

SPEAKER_00 (39:29):
Oh, she looked it up.

SPEAKER_04 (39:32):
So Dawson Mercer gets his seventh short-handed uh
from Siganhaller.
Yeah, three-nothing.
So somehow, 44 shots, we finallyget a goal.
Andre Andre Kuzmenko is thirdfrom Copatar is sixth, and
Lafayette is third to make itthree-one.

(39:57):
And then uh Dawson Mercer againgets his eighth, short-handed
and an empty netter.
You know, and it's reallyembarrassing to get a goal
scored against you where thegoalie gets an assist.
Mark Strom got his first, andDylan is fourth at the 16-12

(40:19):
mark.
Final score four to one.
Devils, like I said earlier, wego to the stats.
Kings out shoot him 44-22.
They beat him in the face-offcircle 53-47.
Um, the devils didn't even get apower play, which there's one

(40:41):
that that's one good thing.
We're not in the penalty box,and we still lose because the
penalty box has been making uslose, but we were 0 for 4 on the
on the power play.
So we had all the power playsand still got beat four to one.

SPEAKER_00 (40:55):
I would say you were more like negative two for four
for the power play.
Because you gave up twoshorthand, you gave up two
shorthanded goals.
You didn't just go 0 for yougave up two goals on the power
play.

SPEAKER_04 (41:10):
Okay, thanks for rubbing salt in the wound, kid.
Shut up and let me talk.
Nope.
I have spoken.
I have spoken.
I'm still your dad.

SPEAKER_00 (41:25):
And I'm still in charge of this podcast.
No, I'm just kidding.
Hey, oh no, I'm over here.

SPEAKER_04 (41:33):
You know what that means.
Anyways, so we go to the otherstats on hits, New Jersey 12,
Kings 10, block shots, 28 forNew Jersey, 14 for the Kings.
Again, we win, we we're alwayswinning the battles we don't
want to win.
22 giveaways to 17.

(41:54):
Although, for the first time ina while, I think we took we won
the takeaways five to three, yetwe still could not score.
Go to the three stars of thegame.
Now, if this was in New Jerseyand that was the kings that won
four to one, we'd probably getonly one guy in the three stars.
I mean, have you ever noticedthat when when it's an away

(42:18):
game, even if you beat them,they always have a token guy
from their team in there.

SPEAKER_01 (42:24):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 (42:25):
Do you ever notice when the kings do it, it's the
three guys that probably deserveit.
Third star was Mercer with twogoals.
Uh second star was was Halananuh with a goal.
I don't understand what why he'sa second star.
I would have flipped that.
And then obviously, number onestar, Jacob Mark uh Markstrom.

(42:46):
Uh 43 saves on 44 shots, 977save percentage for the game,
and an assist.
And uh well, I didn't even saythat, but yes, and an assist.

SPEAKER_00 (42:58):
But and yes, honey, I have I have spoken.

SPEAKER_04 (43:02):
Oh okay.
This is yeah, I already got atitle for this the Mandalorian
episode.

SPEAKER_00 (43:09):
I I have the I the rug nut tug nut I have spoken.
There we go.
That's the title.

SPEAKER_04 (43:15):
Oh god, uh, I'm gonna have to listen to this
again.
If I if I get sad during theweek, I'm gonna listen to the
rug nut tug nut part and I'llstart laughing again.
The battle royal royal.
Anyways, game one over.
Let's go to game one for theducks, Cody, because I need to

(43:36):
compose myself.

SPEAKER_00 (43:38):
So I guess the way to beat the devils is you let
them outshoot you.
So in this game against theducks, the ducks play played
against the devils at home, andthat with the ducks win four to
one.
The shots on goal was 33 in fate33 to 29 in favor of New Jersey.

(43:58):
So let's let's talk about thescoring.
Beckett Seneca on what a greatplay this was.
I don't know, I didn't eventhink he scored it right away
because we this is when we wereat uh at your guys' place about
to eat tacos.
So, or as Justin calls them,white lady tacos.
Um, and so Beckett Seneca on onit was like kind of a breakaway,

(44:21):
but man, he has a reach and hesnuck it in top short side on uh
oh god, what's his name?
Allen, Jake Allen.
What and it was a great, greatgoal by Beckett, and that's his
fourth of the year, and that'sat the 413 mark in the first
period.
Uh Cutter Goodyear and Palin getthe assist on that one.

(44:41):
And then what do you know?
Frank Vetrano gets his first ofthe year, finally.
And I can tell you this goalwouldn't have happened without
Jackson Lacombe because thatplay by Jackson Lacombe, it was
like a literally like a divinglast like effort, kind of just

(45:02):
pushed it off to Frankie V, andFrankie put it in the net.
What a great play all together.
Um, so the decks are up twonothing after one, and then
cutter godier in the secondperiod at the 154 mark gets a uh
gets a seventh of the year tomake it three-nothing Anaheim.
Uh Truba and Seneca get theassist.

(45:25):
Uh, so it's three-nothing aftertwo, and then we go to the third
period, and Jack use uh justwide open, uh gets his tenth of
the year to make it three oneAnaheim, and then Chris Kreider,
of course, uh gets his sixth ofthe year on the empty net.
Uh Carlson and Minty get theirget the assist on that one.

(45:46):
So the Ducks win this one fourto one.
I already went over the shots ongoal, 33-29 in favor of New
Jersey.
Uh, face-off percentage was alittle bit better, but we like I
said, it could be better.
Uh, 52% to 48% in favor of NewJersey.
Each team was 0 for on the powerplay.

(46:06):
The ducks had two power plays.
Uh New Jersey only had one.
Uh hits 18 hits for the ducks,15 for New Jersey.
Block shots was pretty much even19 for New Jersey, 18 for the
Ducks, 20 giveaways for theDucks, 13 for New Jersey, and
six takeaways for the Ducks andfour for New Jersey.

(46:27):
Um, the three stars of the game,Cutter Gautier, had one goal,
one assist for two points.
Becca Seneca was a second startwith one goal, one assist for
two points.
And then the number one star wasLukas Dostal, who only gave up
the one goal and had a 970 savepercentage, who saved 32 saves

(46:47):
on 33 shots.
All around, great game by theducks.
It was nice to see them get anice lead for once instead of
just giving up the goal and kindof coming back.
So it was a nice change of pacefor this, uh, for this game.
So uh that'll be it for ourfirst game of the week.
Okay, no three stars.

SPEAKER_04 (47:07):
I already did.
Oh, okay.
So I'm sorry.
I I kept thinking about thewhole white lady taco thing.
People, white lady tacos areawesome.
Just want you to know.
I go, I'll eat them anytime.
So don't think that white lady,how Cody kind of said it was

(47:30):
negative.
They're awesome.
Just want you to know.
Okay, let's move on to theking's second game.
And um, right now the kings areas fickle as a teenage girl.
I'm just gonna say that they'refickle as a teenage girl.

(47:50):
Or as Forrest Gump said, it'slike uh lots of a box of
chocolates, you never know whatyou're gonna get.
That's pretty much it.
Thank you, Cody.
Much better uh way of saying itthan I would have.
Anyways, um, let's go to thescoring in this game.

(48:13):
And if you had to bet and youhad the kings playing, who
scores the first goal?

SPEAKER_00 (48:20):
Kemp uh Kemper.

SPEAKER_04 (48:22):
Kemper.

SPEAKER_00 (48:24):
Yeah, no, I'm going for the goalie goal.

SPEAKER_04 (48:27):
It wasn't, but it's close.
Got got the right first letter.
Kempe gets his sixth from Armia,his fifth.
Surprisingly, he's a little moreoffensive player than I thought
he would be.
He him and Kempe, other brightspots for the Kings.
Uh, Anderson finally gets hisfirst assist on that at the 1709

(48:49):
mark.
So it was late in the firstperiod.
One-nothing Kings.
There is zero scoring in thesecond period, and then in the
third period, if you had to picka second person to score a goal
for the Kings, who do you thinkthat would be, Cody?

SPEAKER_00 (49:09):
Huh.
Hiller.

SPEAKER_02 (49:14):
Uh Fiola.
You're not funny, by the way.
That's not funny.
I'm hilarious.
Okay.

SPEAKER_04 (49:23):
The the the the tug nut rug nut was much better than
the Hiller one.
Stick with that one, anyways.
It was Fiala on the power play.
He gets a sixth from Perry, histhird, and Byfield his ninth at
the 15-minute mark.
2-0 Kings.
Um, then finally, Drew Dowdygets his second goal unassisted.

(49:44):
Of course, it was an emptynetter.
That's the goal that put himover Rob Blake for the all-time
scoring lead for the Kings.
Um, so the Kings end up winningthis game three to nothing.
And let's go to the stats.
Uh, Kings outshot him 26-23.

(50:05):
Now get this in the face-offcircle 63 to 37.
The Kings outfaced off theWinnipeg Jets, president trophy
winners last year.
The Kings were actually one forsix on the power play.

SPEAKER_00 (50:23):
Lost a lot of power, a lot of penalties this game.
Well, we right back to thepenalties, of course.

SPEAKER_04 (50:29):
What does this turn into how to train your so what's
the kid's name in that show?
Hiccup?

SPEAKER_02 (50:41):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 (50:42):
Shut up, hiccup.
Anyways, yeah, the kings wereone for six, got one goal out of
six opportunities, but theirpenalty kill finally did its
job.
And they they didn't give a goalup in for five opportunities for

(51:02):
um the jets.

SPEAKER_03 (51:04):
Um, the hits were 16-13 jets, block shots were
15-10 jet uh jets.
Giveaway the Kings won thatagain 13 to 10, and takeaways,
the Jets win that 5-3.
Three stars of the game.
I'm not I don't think I wouldhave agreed with who the first
star was.

(51:25):
The third star was uh the recordsetting defenseman from the
Kings, Drew Dowdy with that uhempty net goal in the third
period.
The second star was the theshutout king, uh Darcy Kemper
looking like himself last yearin this game, and the first star

(51:47):
was Kempe with a goal.

SPEAKER_04 (51:48):
I would have switched Kemper would have been
the first star in this game tome.
No doubt about it.
He was fantastic in this game,literally fantastic.
I mean, Winnipeg should have hadat least four or five goals.
He took that many bigopportunities away.

(52:08):
And that is game two for thisweek.
On to your second game, Cody.

SPEAKER_00 (52:16):
Our second game was to finish off the season series
against the back-to-backdefending Stanley Cup champions,
the Florida Panthers, but thistime we're at home, and what a
game this was! Because I cantell you this to start this
game, it did not look pretty atall.
Um, the ducks win this one 7-3over the Panthers.

(52:39):
Um, let's get into the scoring.
Uh, first period.
Uh Cutter Gautier gets hiseighth of the year assisted from
Leo Carlson, his 12th assist ofthe year at the that's a 309
mark, where the ducks take thelead one to nothing.
Then Brad Marchan at the 1014mark ties it up with his seventh
goal of the year.
And then Cutter Gautier againgets his ninth of the year uh on

(53:05):
the power play.
Uh Troy Terry with the assist,his ninth of the year.
So after first, after the firstperiod, we are tied or not tied,
sorry, we're up two to one.
And then things take a turnafter this.
Uh Evan Rodriguez gets uh thescoring started in the second at
the 521 mark, ties it up two totwo.

(53:25):
And then uh Lister Ryan gets hissecond of the year on the power
play to take to have Floridatake the lead three to two.
But then Cutter Gautier on histhird shot of the game on the
power play gets his third goalof the game.
So boom, Patrick for CutterGautier, his first NHL career

(53:48):
Patrick.
Um, so now we're tied threethree, and we had assists from
Lacombe and Carlson.
That was Lacomb's Lacombe'sfifth assist, Carlson's 13th
assist.
So now we're tied 3-3 at the15-36 mark, and then at the
17-19 mark, the ducks takeretake the lead with a Nikita

(54:09):
Nestoranko, his first of theseason, Pay Ling hit of his
fourth assist, and Calorin's hissecond.
So now the Ducks lead after two,four to three.
And then this game really took aturn differently, not
scoring-wise.
Um, at the I want to say withinthe first minute of the game,

(54:31):
Leo Carlson got a majorfive-minute major penalty for
interference uh against EvanRodriguez.
And I'm sorry, but they Iunderstand why they called it a
five-minute major to start,because so they could review
everything, but then for them tokeep it as a five-minute major

(54:54):
and a game misconduct, I'msorry, but one what intent did
he have?
He didn't like he was justskating and where the puck was.
And if you really look at it,Evan Rodriguez is the one that
turns into Leo Carlson.
Like, I'm pretty sure they bothwould have collided, but I think
the way Evan Rodriguez turnedlast second really changed

(55:19):
everything on that.
So I don't agree with the callat all.
Like him getting the five-minutemajor, the game misconduct.
I don't agree with that.
If anything, if anything, theheist should have been was a
two-minute minor forinterference.
I've never heard of afive-minute major game
misconduct for interference likethat, unless it was like you

(55:43):
know, completely away from theplay, and the guy just like
obliterated someone just out ofnowhere, and had nothing to do
with the play.
But no, like the puck was rightthere, it literally went right
through them.
So, like I said, that's mylittle rant.
I don't agree with that.
Um, but Leo Carlson did not getany further discipline, you

(56:04):
know, because one, he shouldn'thave even gotten any dislike
really any discipline at allfrom that.
So, but end of tangent there.
Um, but let's go back to thescoring.
So, in the third period, JacobTruba in the front of the net
gets his third goal of the year,uh Cutter his sixth, sixth
assist, and McTavish's seventhassist.

(56:25):
So now the ducks lead five tothree at the 1143 mark, and then
Chris Kreider gets his seventhof the season.
Uh uh Nestoranko gets his fifthassist of the year, Troy Terry's
10th.
So the Ducks now lead six tothree at the three 13-21 mark,
and that was off a deflectedshot.
And really, it just literallylooked like uh Nestoranko just

(56:49):
threw the puck towards the net,and Kreider just tipped it in.
It was like I said, what Iwanted Crider here for last
year, and look what's happening.
So, and then um, last goal ofthe game, Jansen Harkins gets
his first of the yearunassisted, by the way, to make
it 7-3.
What a great play by Harkins!You know, he's on the pretty

(57:12):
much prone on the ice and stillputs it in the net.
Great play by Harkins.
I've always liked the way heplayed.
Um, so that's your last goal ofthe game at the 1447 mark.
So the ducks win this one sevento three, which marks their
third time this year.
They've reached the seven goalmark in a game.

(57:33):
And here's the shots on goal 32to 21 in favor of Anaheim.
The ducks finally win a face-offpercentage in a game, uh, 55 to
45.
Power play.
The ducks were two for seven,Florida was one for five.
The ducks had 25 penaltyminutes, but that was like 15 of

(57:53):
it, it was just from uh Carlson.
Yeah, and then 16 for thePanthers hits 27 in hits for
Florida, 13 for Anaheim, andlike I said, uh, I saw a lot
more dangerous plays okay fromboth teams in favor, but more

(58:17):
from Florida than Anaheim inthis game, where the the hits
that were made were a lotdangerous than what Carlson did
to Evan Rodriguez.
So I'm just saying that.
Um, and then block shots, 17shot block shots for Florida,
eight for the ducks, 18giveaways for Florida, 13 for
the Ducks, and then sixtakeaways for the Ducks, four

(58:39):
for uh the Panthers, and theDucks sweep the season series
against the defending two-timedefending Stanley Cup champions,
the Florida Panthers.
And here are your three stars ofthe game.
Nestoranko is the third starwith one goal, one assist for
two points.
Uh Troy Terry for two assists,two points as the second star.

(59:01):
And of course, your hat trickhero cutter gotier uh has three
goals, one assist for fourpoints, is your number one star.
So that's it for our second gameof the year, or sec or second
game of the week.

SPEAKER_04 (59:17):
Okay, so let's go to the king's third and last game
from last week.
And let's go to the scoring.
Two minutes and six seconds intothe first period.
Sam Bennett gets his third fromPetrie is fourth, and Boquist is

(59:38):
first.
So one to nothing.
Florida.
And finally, I don't know howmany what what game is this?
Um game number?
Yeah, 17 or something like that.
Number 15.
15.
Anze Copatar finally gets hisfirst on the power play from

(01:00:00):
Kempe, his 11th, and Byfield is10th at the 923 mark to tie the
game.
Then probably the the biggestpickup from last season, and you
know, the guy soon to be onSocial Security, Corey Perry
gets a sixth from Anderson, hissack second assist, and

(01:00:23):
Edmondson his sixth at the 11minute mark to put the Kings up
two to one.
But the rat, he's he's he'ssomewhere in crypto.com arena
and he comes up with his eighthfrom Ekblad his third at the
17th.
30 mark to tie the game two totwo.

(01:00:44):
So going into the second period,it is two to two.
We go to the second period.
Sam Reinhart.
I think he was the uh con smitewas he the con smythe winner
last year, right?
Who was Reinhart?
No, it was Bennett last year.

(01:01:04):
Was he the year before?

SPEAKER_00 (01:01:05):
No, that was McDavid, remember?

SPEAKER_04 (01:01:07):
Well, he was our superstar in that one game.
That's why I'm thinking of yeah,he won the MVP of that.
Yeah.
Oh Reinhart gets a seventh fromVerhage.
Gotta love that name.
Verhage.
Just has a ring to it.
Gets his fifth, and uh McColagets his first assist of the
season at the 1145 mark of thesecond period to put Florida up

(01:01:31):
three to two.
Then Anton Lindell gets anothershort-handed goal.
Isn't that the third one we'vegiven up in three games, right?

SPEAKER_00 (01:01:42):
Well, like I said, uh as what Kevin said, Kings
have allowed four shorties, themost of any team in the NHL.

SPEAKER_04 (01:01:49):
Yeah, and three of them in three games, yeah.
Um, and that's shorthanded atthe 841 mark of the third
period.
It's four to two.
And I do believe the rat getsanother goal.
He does, uh, and you know,McCullough gets his second
assist, and Marchan gets hisninth at the 1236 mark.

(01:02:10):
5-2 is the final in this game.
We were awful on this game.
Shots we outshoot him 26-24.
You know, after the firstperiod, we were dominating the
face-off circle, and then afterthat, and they're one of the
worst face-off teams.

SPEAKER_00 (01:02:28):
I mean, they're not they're missing their top
face-off guy.

SPEAKER_04 (01:02:33):
Yeah, well, he probably won't be playing this
season unless it's in theplayoffs, possibly.
Um, 51% to 49.
We lost that.
Now we did win.
We we we were one for four onthe power play, and they were oh
for two.
So we we won that, but I mean,there was all these little
mistakes in this game thathappened.

(01:02:53):
Uh, we got out hit again 24-16,and I don't believe last season
we were getting out hit a lot.
We were out hitting the otherteam and doing more block shots
on the other team.
Although we did win the thatbattle in this game 16 to 14.
Of course, we won the giveawaysagain 13 to 11, and actually the

(01:03:16):
takeaways again, uh, four to twoagainst the Panthers.
Let's go to the three stars ofthe game.
And once again, you know, a gamein Los Angeles, there isn't a
king in the bunch.
Lundell was the third star witha goal, McCullough with two
assists was the second star, andthe rat was uh Brad Marchant was

(01:03:38):
a first star with two goals.
And that was the third and lastgame of this of this week.
On to your third and last game,Cody.
Then we can talk about where wewhere we stand with predictions,
and then we can make ourpredictions for next this next

(01:03:58):
week.

SPEAKER_00 (01:03:59):
All right, so the last game of the week was
Thursday against the DallasStars in Dallas, by the way.
So the duck, um, I'm not gonnatell you the score of the game,
I'm gonna just go right into thescoring.
Didn't look good right away forthe ducks.
Wyatt Johnston on not one buttwo power plays.

(01:04:20):
So why Johnston gets his firstgoal, his eighth of the year on
the power play to make itone-nothing, and then another
one to make it his ninth of theyear.
So it's two-nothing after thefirst period.
So, first of all, not good onfor the power uh penalty kill to
give up two power plays likethat, and they were both pretty

(01:04:41):
quick, too.
Um, and then uh next up, ChrisKreider.
At least we score on the powerplay.
Chris Kreider his eighth of theyear on the power play.
Leo Carlson is 14th assist ofthe year to make it 2-1 Dallas,
and then Ian Moore gets hisfirst career NHL goal.
So, congratulations to IanMoore.

(01:05:01):
Uh, Paling and Nestorenko getthe assist, so now we're tied uh
2-2 at the 248 mark in thesecond.
So that's right.
We scored two goals within thefirst three minutes of the
second period, and then TylerSagan gets his fourth of the
year, and Tyler Sagan in hiswhat his 14-15 career year

(01:05:22):
career in the NHL.
You know, that was his firstever goal against the Anaheim
Ducks.

SPEAKER_04 (01:05:29):
No, I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_00 (01:05:31):
Yeah, he's scored against every team so far,
except for now what there's oneteam left, and that's the
Seattle Kraken.
So he just needs to scoreagainst one more team to
complete the the being his bingocard.
Um, so now it's three to Dallas,but then Cutter Gaudier again
gets his 11th of the year,Calorin's third assist of the

(01:05:54):
year.
So now we're tied 3-3 at the14-07 mark, but then Olin
Zellweger on the power play getshis first of the year.
So now the Anaheim leads four tothree at the 1705 mark.
Seneca with his fourth assist ofthe year, and Calorin his fourth
assist of the year.
Um, so now we're Anaheim's upfour three after two periods,

(01:06:18):
and then what a wild thirdperiod this was.
Uh, Chris Kreider on another tipin shot.
Like I said, this is what theDucks needed.
Uh so Kreider gets his ninthgoal in nine games that he's
played, so he's a goal a gameplayer right now.
Uh Hellison had the his fifthassist of the year, Terry his

(01:06:40):
11th of the year, and that was16 seconds into the third
period.
But then Miko Rantinen on thepower play gets his eighth of
the year, so now it's five fouruh Anaheim, and that was at the
150 mark in the third.
But then Leo Carlson again getshis sixth of the year on

(01:07:02):
short-handed, by the way.
Troy Terry his 12th assist ofthe year now's at the 922 mark
in the third, so then Anaheim'sup six to four, and then Rupe
Hinz gets his second of the yearon a deflected shot, so now six
five uh Anaheim, but then MasonMcTavish.
By the way, what a great overallgoal this was, even though it

(01:07:24):
was an empty net goal, but thethe just the selfless play that
Seneca had.
Um so Cutter get who usuallywhen Cutter has the the puck in
the offensive zone, he's usuallyshooting it, especially with no
goalie in the net.
But no, he slides it over to toBeckett, and Beckett holds on to
it.

(01:07:45):
And Beckett had a shot, but thedefenseman for uh Dallas kind of
was sliding in, and as theplayer slid, Beckett slid it
instead of shooting it, slid itto McTavish, who was streaking
down the middle, and McTavishnets the empty netter to make it
7-5 Anaheim, and that's yourfinal.

(01:08:06):
So in back-to-back games, theducks score seven goals.
So here are the the game statsshots on goal 26 to 25 in favor
of Dallas, uh, 60 to 40 in theface-off percentage.
Of course, Dallas.
You know, the ducks aren't gonnawin all those power plays.

(01:08:28):
Um, I was it was just not anall-around good game for the
penalty kills, but great for ifyou're on the power play.
Dallas was three for five, andthe ducks were two for five on
the power play.
Each team had 10 penaltyminutes.
Uh, ducks did out hit Dallas 22to 15.
Uh, Dallas had 19 block shots toAnaheim's 10, 17 giveaways for

(01:08:53):
Dallas, only 10 giveaways forthe Ducks, and then each team
had five takeaways.
And here are your three stars ofthe game.
Uh Leo Carlson with one goal,one assist for two points as the
number three star.
Wyatt Johnston, uh, two goals,one assist for three points was
the number two star, and thenChris Kreider was the number one

(01:09:15):
star with two goals.
So now the ducks, I believe, nowhave actually oh no, I'll say it
right here.
The ducks have put up four sevengoal games this season and just
13 games under Coach Q.
That's the same number of sevengoal games this franchise has

(01:09:36):
had in the previous previousfour seasons combined, combined
crazy, yeah.
And let's see if I can find thatlist real quick, and then after
this game, so here's the mostpoints within the first 13 games

(01:09:57):
in Ducks history.
So you're gonna hear a lot ofgreat names on this.
So right now, Cutter Godi.
Oh no, sorry, Leo Carlson isnumber one on that list with 20
points in 13 games, and thenit's pretty much a six-way tie
for second place.
Um, so I'm gonna just name offthe names, and all of them have

(01:10:19):
had 17 points.
Troy Terry, Cutter Goldie thisseason, 17 points, and then now
Timu Solani in 99 uh in the yearuh 1999-2000, Corey Perry
2009-2010, Paul Korea 98, 99,and then Troy Terry in 22-23.

(01:10:42):
So Troy Terry's on this listtwice.
And like I said, it's very highevent hockey, and I I'm loving
this right now.
I mean, we're giving up we'rewe're giving up a lot of
chances, but we're also gettingand scoring on a lot of chances.

(01:11:03):
So um I don't know if you hadanything else to add before we
get into predictions.
Um well, I want to go over uhhow we've done so far in our
predictions.

SPEAKER_04 (01:11:15):
Okay, since go for it.
We're we just finished that forlast week.
You went two and one this week,yeah.
And you are seven and six.
Okay, I'm a little more faith.
You yeah, you're over 500, butif you had faith, you'd have
been way up because they've beenplaying so well, yeah.

(01:11:37):
And then um I went two and one.
I'm six and nine.
And honestly, it's I don't knowwhat team's gonna show up.
I mean, obviously, I picked allthree games they to lose all

(01:11:58):
three games.
They did lose two of them, butthey beat Winnipeg, yeah, and
shut them out.
I mean, it just doesn't make anysense.
So I'm six and nine, you'reseven and six, and now we've got
this next week, which I did Ipredicted, but I didn't I don't
know if I looked to see what youpredicted.

SPEAKER_00 (01:12:18):
I I'm putting it in my stuff right now as we're
talking.
Let's see.

SPEAKER_04 (01:12:25):
Oh, I didn't put it in, but I've got it written
down.

SPEAKER_00 (01:12:30):
I guess I could do uh you don't even have yours
written down on the notes.

SPEAKER_04 (01:12:34):
I I have it written down on the sheet.

SPEAKER_00 (01:12:37):
Okay.
Uh you want to go first or youwant me to go first?

SPEAKER_04 (01:12:40):
Why don't you go and I'll put I'll put them in the
notes.

SPEAKER_00 (01:12:43):
In the notes.
All right.
So the ducks play tonight inVegas.
So if you're in Vegas, go say hito Adam and you know go support
Patriots hockey out there.
Um so the ducks will play theknights, and sadly, uh I have
the ducks losing this game.
So I have the ducks losing thisgame four to two.

(01:13:04):
It's just I don't know what itis.
The ducks ducks just neverreally play well against the
knights, so they they they'venever played well.
So I'm gonna go with a four-twoloss against the knights, so
that breaks our our five-gamewinning streak.
Um, but then I have the duckswinning tomorrow, Sunday.

(01:13:25):
Um, so the ducks have a away andthen a home, which is weird.
So they play in Vegas and theycome back home against the Jets
tomorrow, and that's anotherlate game, a seven o'clock game
at night.
Um, I have the Ducks Duckswinning this one uh four to
three, and then Tuesday on11-11.

(01:13:47):
The ducks are playing inColorado.
I have them losing that one fiveto three, and then on Thursday,
the ducks head over to Detroit,and I have them lose uh winning
that game six to three.
So I have the ducks going twoand two this week, which and all
you know, like if you reallylook at this schedule, the ducks
have faced what now was let'ssee, one, two, three, four,

(01:14:14):
five, six teams that were in theplayoffs last year, and one team
that's I believe number one intheir division right now in
Detroit, and they're playingwell.
Um, so like I said, the ducksare playing against very hard
teams right now, so it's I andfor them to go to one already
have six points already againstsix of those teams.

(01:14:39):
Uh, I would say it's uh it'salready on a positive note on
our end.
So um, but yeah, so I have theducks going two and two this
week.

SPEAKER_04 (01:14:49):
Okay, so I'll go to my games.
Um, the Kings will be playingtomorrow in Pittsburgh against
the Penguins, and we just neverplay well against the Penguins.
I have the Kings losing thatgame 4-2.
Then we go to Montreal and playthe Canadiens, and for some
reason, I don't know why.

(01:15:10):
I picked the Kings to win thisgame six to five.
I score, and then Kings suck.
I'll get on to that in just asecond.
Uh and then Thursday, the Kingsplay in Toronto, and I have
them, they don't ever play wellagainst Toronto either.

(01:15:30):
I have them losing four games,uh, four to two.

SPEAKER_00 (01:15:35):
Okay.
Uh, and then real quick, uh alittle Patriots uh update.
Update the Patriots will playtonight at either 3 p.m., 4 10,
or 5 20.
Um, for Adam, there's still achance to go to the ducks game
tonight in Vegas, but thePatriots won't uh know their
second round schedule for aboutanother hour.
So all right.

(01:15:56):
Well, Adam, if you put it uh onInstagram or things up, let me
know or tag uh mention us andI'll I'll put it on the on the
socials for you guys too.
So that way everyone can canknow.

SPEAKER_04 (01:16:08):
Well, I I I we're at whatever time it is, Adam.
You guys go win the game, winthe tournament, buddy.
Go Patriots win that.

SPEAKER_01 (01:16:17):
Never thought I'd say that.
Yeah, no, no.

SPEAKER_04 (01:16:22):
This is better, yeah.
Obviously, than the New EnglandPatriots, although they are
playing at the they are playingwell, the New England Patriots,
anyways.
Yeah, so Kings fans, let me askyou a question.
Is it thumbs up or thumbs downfor Hiller right now?

SPEAKER_03 (01:16:44):
Do the Kings need a change?
The they played soinconsistently, and I can't even
remember them making the stupidsmall mistakes they're making
this season, giving up these, Imean, goals that shouldn't
happen.

SPEAKER_04 (01:17:04):
Yes, Hiller, Ken, Luke, thumbs down.
I'm totally with you, Kevin.
Let's we're in total agreementwith that.
So, I mean, if if if this is theway it's gonna be, it's time for
a retool.

(01:17:25):
Unless someone can come in andinspire these guys to play Kings
hockey like we know it.
And I'm I'm just really uh thisfrustration on top of everything
else that's been frustratinghere lately for me, uh, and the

(01:17:45):
busyness of life.
The Kings are have been a totaldisappointment, even with a
shutout win against um Winnipeg.
I was so shocked.
But you know, I gotta tell you,if Darcy Kemper wasn't playing
like he played last year, wewould have lost that game five
to three.

(01:18:07):
We really should have.
But Kemper was so good.
Um, so you know, not a hugerant.
I'm not gonna yell and scream.
It's it's that's not worth it tobe that unhappy.
But I am, I just want to ask youfans, what do you think?
I mean, are we going to to takea chance on ex-STARS coach

(01:18:29):
Debore to come in, who playershate, but he seems to get him to
a conference final.
You just can't get him into theStanley Cup.
I'd take a conference finalright now.
I would.
Um, I gotta say, I do love thethe move with Corey.
Corey Perry has been awesome.
Armia hasn't been bad, but it'sjust there's been so much

(01:18:52):
inconsistency with a lot ofother players.
It's it's been frustrating.
So, anyways, guys, uh I'mfrustrated.
I know all the Kings fans arefrustrated, and I mean, Cody,
you guys, you guys can stand up,give the ducks a standing 0.

(01:19:12):
They've been playing awesome.
Um, and it's been fun to watch.
Now, the only thing I could sayabout this whole thing with
them, if they can't play betterdefense, they're not they're not
gonna go far because that's whatwins playoffs, they gotta pick
their defense up, you know.
Just a a word of advice to thethe ducks, they need to do that,

(01:19:36):
yeah.
And then besides that, I don'thave you looked to see who the
scoring leaders in uh hockey areright now, Cody.
Have you looked at that at all?
Yes, I have.
So you know who's number one andnumber two?

SPEAKER_00 (01:19:52):
Yes, I do, and who are they?
Um, the two people who you gaveus the question before the
season started, who's gonna havemore points this year?
And they're battling for it,aren't they?
And they're one point off.
So my my buddy actually uh did aon price picks, he did uh a

(01:20:15):
parlay for like over and underon points for each player.
And he's like, he's like, Idon't know who this Connor
Bedard guy is, but I had himgetting uh at least uh one
assist tonight, and that it waslast night, and I told him I was
like, dude, it's gonna hit, andhe's like, Really?
I'm like, you you don't have toworry about that one, it's gonna
hit.
And you know, no, you want toknow what Bedard had four points

(01:20:38):
last night, three uh one goal,three assists.
And I told and I texted him, Iwas like, Told you, told you
that was a good hit.

SPEAKER_04 (01:20:46):
So, so do you think he could have heard or seen
maybe a reel that we did that weall agree that Celebrini would
have more points, and he'strying to prove us wrong, yeah.
And you know, the for the firsttime in a long time, there's a

(01:21:10):
duck in the top 20.
There's a well, oh yeah, becausethere's a lot of and there's
there's one on the on justoutside of it, or two out just
outside of it.

SPEAKER_00 (01:21:22):
Oh, we also have one that's tied for first in goals.
Uh cutter, cutter, he's tiedwith Sydney Crosby.

SPEAKER_04 (01:21:33):
Everybody laughs when I when I I I pick him up
every season in fantasy, eventhough he's an old man.

SPEAKER_00 (01:21:39):
So right now, Leo Carlson is tied for fourth with
14 assists, cutters tied withfor number one in goals with
Sydney Crosby with 11 andpoints.
Leo Carlson is tied for six umwith 20 points.
So, and number one right now isMacklin Celabrini with 23, and

(01:22:03):
Badard is 22.
But here's the thing you alsogotta think about is all I would
say majority of these playershave also played two more games
than the Ducks have.
We've only played 13.
So there's a chance that maybewhen we're even on games.

(01:22:27):
Oh, you never know.

SPEAKER_04 (01:22:29):
You never know.
That's that's for sure.
And um it's you know what I'mthis is the been the upside down
season so far.
Yeah, things have not played outlike I don't think anybody would

(01:22:49):
have totally predicted some ofthe things that have happened.
Florida is not in the playoffhunt right now.
The ducks they're are they arethey number one in the west?
They're no.
Uh I mean okay, let's gopercentage of points instead of

(01:23:10):
just point points percentage.

SPEAKER_00 (01:23:12):
Um, let's see, the the ducks are second behind
Colorado.
Colorado has a 750 pointspercentage, the ducks have a
731.
But like I said, Colorado alsohas also played one extra one
extra game.

SPEAKER_04 (01:23:25):
Yeah, you know, and it's funny, is it was it a week
or two?
I I I mentioned about Dry Sidaland uh McDavid not being in the
top 20.
Did you look where McDavid isright now?
Uh no, you said you looked, soyou should know.

(01:23:46):
When I asked a prior previousquestion, you said you said you
looked at the top 20.
I what is it showing?

SPEAKER_00 (01:23:52):
Uh McDavid's tied for third in points, the 21.

SPEAKER_04 (01:23:57):
He wasn't even in there a week or two ago.

SPEAKER_02 (01:24:00):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 (01:24:01):
So he's picked up his game totally.
And and you know, I know wejokingly call him McJesus.
I mean, just because that's howtalented this guy is.
He's incredibly talented.
He that Oilers got him for abargain, you know, at 12.5

(01:24:23):
million for two more years.
And I and I and I even told youguys why.
He doesn't truly believe theycan be signing an eight-year
contract there isn't attractiveif he can't win a cup.
He did two more years becausethey still probably have an
outside chance of doing that ifeverything went right.
But I you know, they're they'regetting older, and they they're

(01:24:48):
they were so salary keptstrapped that how much can they
do?
Yeah, and then again, you know,a team like the ducks, a team
like Chicago, a team like uhMontreal, or even uh the San
Jose Sharks in a couple yearscould be a landing spot for
Connor McDavid if the Oilersdon't do their due diligence and

(01:25:12):
put more talent around him.
Just saying that out loud, it'son Royally Quacked episode 87.
And if it comes to fruition, youall owe me a hundred dollars.
And it I and if that doeshappen, I should be able to
retire.
And maybe even you, I could giveyou, I'll have so much money.
You'll of course nobody's gonnagive me the hundred dollars, but

(01:25:33):
I'm just saying that's aprediction I'm making right now.
Uh, and I'm that's about it forme.
This episode, Cody.
Do you have any more to talkabout?

SPEAKER_00 (01:25:44):
So there's three.
Sorry, there's five teams thathave a plus double digits and
goal differential.
Could you guess the five teams?
Ducks.
They're one, they're tied forthe most with two teams.

SPEAKER_04 (01:26:04):
I'm trying to think.
Detroit.

SPEAKER_00 (01:26:07):
Detroit is no, they're at a negative one gold
differential.
Really?

SPEAKER_04 (01:26:14):
Yeah.
Um let me think.
Because I really I don't know.
I haven't looked at that part inthe standings.

SPEAKER_00 (01:26:23):
Two you should get you should definitely get the
two from the west.
And you'll you should get atleast one from the east.
The other one will shock you inthe east.

SPEAKER_04 (01:26:34):
Um would it be the Vegas?

SPEAKER_00 (01:26:43):
No, they're at a plus five goal differential.
Another one in the west.
There's two in the west, andthey should be two easy ones.
So I'm trying to do that.
You just you just played one ofthem, and the ducks are about to
play, and you guys just playedthem, and the ducks are about to
play both these teams.
Jets.

(01:27:04):
Jets, they have plus eleven.

SPEAKER_04 (01:27:08):
Um Jersey?
Uh, in the west.
Um, no, in the east.
I was thinking New Jersey.
New Jersey's plus 11.
What plus seven?
Okay, yeah.
At least I'm getting him in theplus.
Um, there's another I thoughtthat was the two teams in the
west were the ducks and uh ducksthree in the west jets, and

(01:27:30):
there's one more team in thewest.

SPEAKER_00 (01:27:34):
Okay.
They uh their team rhymes withMaldorado Wavalynch.

SPEAKER_04 (01:27:44):
Uh Tugnut, rug nut.

SPEAKER_00 (01:27:48):
No, yes, uh uh Colorado Avalanche.
Yes, the ducks are tied withthem with the plus 13, and then
there's one other team that hasa plus 13 in the east, and
another team in the east thathas plus 11.
So one of the teams you shoulddefinitely get because they're
more known for their defensivegame, and the other one should

(01:28:09):
really would shock you, butthey're hot starters.
Carolina is the other team withthe plus 13, and the surprise
team that everyone's shocked atthey're winning so right now.

SPEAKER_04 (01:28:21):
Montreal?

SPEAKER_00 (01:28:22):
No, Montreal has a plus six.

SPEAKER_01 (01:28:26):
Okay.

SPEAKER_00 (01:28:30):
I'm I'm um Pittsburgh.
Ah, there you go.
Pittsburgh, they have a pluseleven.

SPEAKER_04 (01:28:39):
You know, if you didn't mention them in first
place in a was it last week orin a con or in a conversation we
had, I had no idea they wereeven there.
You know, I've been watchingKing's games.

SPEAKER_00 (01:28:52):
I've been not looking at they're tied with New
Jersey right now.
In first in the metro, but NewJersey has a game in hand, so
they're number one.

SPEAKER_04 (01:29:03):
Maybe maybe that's why Pittsburgh isn't interested
in trading because they'relooking, they're doing pretty
well.

SPEAKER_00 (01:29:10):
Yeah, it's exciting.
Uh Crosby and Malkin have lookedgood.
Uh, let's see.
Right now, if the let's see, ifthe playoffs started today, it
would be Colorado versusChicago, Ducks versus Dallas,

(01:29:36):
Winnipeg versus Utah, and Vegasversus Seattle.
And that's in the west.
In the east, you would have Idon't know who would have let's
see.
Let's go by conference.
Uh New Jersey would probably goagainst let's see.

(01:29:56):
Trying to figure this out.
Um, it would be Montreal versusPhilly, New Jersey versus
Toronto, Detroit versus Boston,and Pittsburgh versus Carolina.
And that's if the if everythingended today.

SPEAKER_04 (01:30:13):
Yeah, a lot of teams that you wouldn't expect it to
be in the playoffs.

SPEAKER_00 (01:30:17):
Yeah.
Uh Beckett Seneca is also tiedfor third with nine points and
uh with for all rookies.
Demadoff and Schaefer are oneand two.

SPEAKER_04 (01:30:30):
I I gotta tell you, I didn't think he was ready, but
I was wrong.

SPEAKER_00 (01:30:36):
I didn't think honestly, I 100% agree with you.
I the way he played.
In the rookie face off andpreseason, I was just like,
yeah, he's probably going backto juniors, or they're gonna try
and work something out, but it'sworking.

SPEAKER_04 (01:30:49):
Because I'm I'm telling you right now, because I
I think Green Tree is similar touh Seneca and talent and
everything else.
I go if we're not gonna if we'renot gonna win, let's just bring
them up and let them play.
Yeah, let them grow, let themgrow.
I mean, we we can dump some ofthese other people, just eat

(01:31:15):
their salaries and and retool.
If they're we're not gonna playmore consistently than we have,
and we're not doing that rightnow under Hiller.
It's it's time to make a move.
Um I know some people willdisagree with that, but uh you
know what?
I I did have fun watching theJets game, but most of these

(01:31:37):
games, it's like there's they'redisappointing to watch because I
see you know many mini hockeymistakes made by professional
players and on a consistentlevel, it's just unheard of.

SPEAKER_00 (01:31:53):
Yeah.
All right, last thing before weget out of here.
Can you can you name me thegoalies or the the the number
one goalie for goals againstaverage and the number one
goalie with save percentage?
If you get it within the firstthree chances, then I'll be

(01:32:17):
shocked.
Let's just say if you get it.

SPEAKER_04 (01:32:19):
Well, I haven't looked, so it's gonna totally be
a guess.

SPEAKER_00 (01:32:24):
Okay.

SPEAKER_04 (01:32:25):
Um you think here?
But the guy the the guy fromMontreal?
Dobus?
No.
No, he's not there.

SPEAKER_00 (01:32:42):
No, he's tied for six in save percentage and tie
uh fifth in goals againstaverage.

SPEAKER_04 (01:32:48):
Okay, so he's not bad.
So that's not a bad guess.
It's not a bad guess, no.
I'll throw it out there justbecause you're asking the
question.
Dostal.

SPEAKER_02 (01:32:58):
No, he's not in top 10.
I didn't think so because I seenot in top ten either.

SPEAKER_04 (01:33:03):
Yeah, well, that's because they've been not playing
as good a defense, they've justbeen way really good at offense.
Um, Kevin, Kevin, way to go,Kevin.
You you're you're giving a rant.

SPEAKER_00 (01:33:24):
I love it, brother.
Holland took a team that was oneof the youngest in the playoffs
and made them the second oldestteam in the league.
If this team can't win this yearor next, it might be time for a
retool or full-blown rebuild.
Maybe it sounds dramatic sincethe kings are touching are in
touching distance of being in agood shape in the standings.
Plus, it's still early in theyear, but things seem to be

(01:33:46):
trending in the wrong way.

SPEAKER_04 (01:33:49):
So you're in total agreement with me, Kevin, and I
appreciate that.
Um, and I do agree with you.
I mean, a a rebuild.
I mean, you do have tools.
You have Clark, you haveByfield, um, LaFerrier.
Um trying to think anybody elsethere.

(01:34:09):
I really don't have yeah, maybemaybe it would be a rebuild.
They could they could buildbuild off that and and look at
the uh if you look at the futureand goal.
Wow.

SPEAKER_00 (01:34:20):
Now here's now here's the thing.
And here's my honest opinion.
If you guys don't send signKempe and say he signs somewhere
else, I say you rebuild.

SPEAKER_04 (01:34:31):
I say I I say you fire everybody in the front
office, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:34:36):
And then and try try to build around Byfield and La
Ferrier.

SPEAKER_04 (01:34:41):
Well, and Clark.
And Clark, yeah.
And and the thing is, is youknow, this is taking us totally
off what you just asked me, butthat's okay because I'm I'm
gonna know this more than I'mgonna know that, because I'm
gonna have to guess, anyways.
Um now I totally lost what I wasgonna say.

(01:35:04):
Um, yeah, we oh, I know what Iwas gonna say.
I and I mean fire everybody inthe front office, all the way up
to president, and one of myfavorite players of all time.
You know, he he's probably 1Aand Timu is probably 1B.

(01:35:25):
And I know it's probably weirdfor a Kings fan to like a ducks
player so much.
I just like him as a person, andnot only that, he was a great
player, and find somebody thatdoesn't like Timu.
Show me someone who doesn't likehim.
He's a likable, I mean Luke's alikable guy, yeah.

(01:35:47):
But you know what?
He brought in Hiller, he broughtin Holland.
You know, we need to go in adifferent direction.
Oh, and I know that one otherthing I was gonna say, and I
will try to guess the goalies,Cody.
I know I'm probably just tryingto get out of it because I'm
clueless of that right now.
But right now, who would be thefavorite?

(01:36:10):
Uh it's a Jack Adams Award.
That's the coaching award,right?
Jack Adams.

SPEAKER_00 (01:36:14):
Well, I know I think right now they're saying it's
Dan Muse or Coach Quinnville.

SPEAKER_04 (01:36:20):
I think Quinnville is definitely a favorite right
there.
Yeah, nobody expected nobodyexpected the ducks to do what
they've done, and and look atwhat they didn't have last year
and what they're doing thisyear.
Their biggest overall weaknesswas they could not score a goal.

SPEAKER_00 (01:36:41):
No, our overall weakness was Cronin.
And okay, now here's the thinghere's the funny thing.
Does Cronin feel like he's thatbad of a coach where he couldn't
get this team to do anything?
And look what they're doing now.
I mean, it's not a hugedifference between the two teams

(01:37:02):
last two years.
I mean, Kreider and Granlin isreally the only difference.

SPEAKER_04 (01:37:09):
Okay, and so but still so let me put it this way
are you coaching to now here'shere's one thing that I think is
wrong that the Kings do.
They they coach to a philosophyof defense first instead of

(01:37:33):
looking at your talent pool andtrying to get the most out of
your talent.
And I think what Quinville'sdoing is exactly that,
especially offensively rightnow.
He is getting the best out ofhis team, and it's totally
impressive of what he's done.

(01:37:54):
And you know what?
Now we know why he was athree-time Stanley Cup champion
coach.
Yeah, now he could fail the restof the season, and you know, the
king or the ducks don't do aswell as they've been doing, it's
a possibility.
I mean, you we can't discountanything because things do
happen sometimes and they'reweird, but he's proving that he

(01:38:21):
came here and they were not thatgood of a team.
And look at what he's done withthem.
I I'm impressed, totallyimpressed.
So, other goalies.
Let me could I ask a question?
Yes, would these would these benames I I would readily think
about?

SPEAKER_00 (01:38:39):
This guy you should definitely know about.

SPEAKER_04 (01:38:44):
This guy I should definitely know about.

unknown (01:38:46):
Okay.

SPEAKER_00 (01:38:50):
One guy leads in both categories.

SPEAKER_02 (01:39:02):
He leaves in both categories and I know him.
Okay.
Oh, you should definitely knowhim.

SPEAKER_04 (01:39:13):
I should definitely know him.

SPEAKER_00 (01:39:15):
Yeah, let's just say he's not fast, he's Jonathan
Quick.
Jonathan Quick.
He's leading in both categories.
He has a save percentage of 950and a goals against average of
1.26.

SPEAKER_04 (01:39:31):
Okay, so that totally explains somebody.
Uh, where did I see it?
I saw it maybe on Instagram orsomething where he goes, you
know, how come we gave up onquick?
How come we gave up on quick soquick?
Well, because he was playinghorrible back then.

SPEAKER_03 (01:39:53):
Um, it doesn't mean he would continue.

SPEAKER_00 (01:39:56):
Um wow.
So I'm on Instagram right now,and there's an Instagram account
called Darcy Kempers Burners.
He asked his followers to sendin LA King trade mock trades,
but as a joke, like funnytrades.
You're gonna love this one.

(01:40:17):
Okay, the kings get$30 in cash,and the the um the dragons, the
China, the KHL team from China,they get Cody CC for$30 cash.
Um the Kings get nothing, andthe Devils get Brent Clark.

(01:40:41):
Um the Kings get a uh 20-piecechicken nuggets, fries, and a
sprite from McDonald's, andMcDonald's gets Jim Hiller.
I'd make that trade right now.
I was just I saw that and Ithought I thought it was pretty

(01:41:03):
funny.

SPEAKER_04 (01:41:04):
But but uh I am hungry right now, that's
probably why I said that.
But uh I we still have whitelady tacos, and I think I'm
gonna have that for lunch.

SPEAKER_00 (01:41:15):
Well, you enjoy that.
We're gonna go out and seegrandma and papa after after
we're done with this.
