A franchise declares who it is when it chooses certainty over churn, and that’s exactly what we unpack as the Kings lock in Adrian Kempe on a 10-year deal with a savvy, bonus-heavy structure. We get into why that number and term make sense relative to his two-way value, how the no-move and no-trade protections frame the next era, and what it signals about retool talk. Then the plot twists: Doughty’s toe puts Brant Cla...
The pace is up, the hits are down, and the plot is thick. Southern California hockey just delivered a week that flipped expectations: Anaheim punched above its weight behind Leo Carlson’s surge, while LA leaned on Corey Perry’s unlikely spark and Quentin Byfield’s OT touch to steal points in tough buildings. We sift through the noise to find the real signals—why the Ducks look legitimate even in a loss to Colorado, an...
Seven goals. Twice. A hat trick. A shutout. And a fanbase arguing about short-handed goals against. This week gave us everything: Anaheim’s young core exploding for highlight after highlight, Los Angeles flashing brilliance one night and bleeding momentum the next, and a league full of surprises that actually matter when you zoom into the numbers.
We start with Ducks fireworks: Leo Carlsson’s playmaking has t...
A week like this doesn’t just hand us headlines; it tests what we believe about two very different SoCal trajectories. We kick off with the Kings’ strange run of banking points without regulation wins and why that stat can hide bigger issues, from penalty trouble to shot suppression. Then we pivot to Anaheim’s surge: a faster, cleaner transition game powered by Leo Carlson’s playmaking, Troy Terry’s finishing touch, a...
A week of chaos delivered the most fun kind of hockey: wild momentum swings, unlikely heroes, and a scoreboard that wouldn’t sit still. We open with real life—on-call shifts, long drives, and coffee-fueled nights—then jump straight into the ice where the Ducks and Kings each wrote their own kind of comeback story.
For Anaheim, the road trip turned into a showcase. Cutter Gauthier looks every bit the natural f...
A week of Southern California hockey delivered everything: a Ducks road rollercoaster that turned into a statement OT win, a home-opener surge powered by net-front grit, and a Kings team battling penalties, pairing problems, and a second-period slump. We dig into why Anaheim’s offense looks sustainable—Kreider’s screens and tips, McTavish’s engine, Leo Carlson’s calm playmaking—and how the new alternates split is buil...
A rivalry podcast is only fun if the punches land and the hugs do too. We kick off with Ducks and Kings headlines—injuries, waivers, and the Lacombe deal in Anaheim; staffing shifts, IR moves, and Kempe’s price tag in LA—then zoom out to a league buzzing with suspensions, fines, and mega-extensions. Connor McDavid’s short bridge, Jack Eichel’s long bet, and cap gymnastics around LTIR set the tone for a season where wi...
Hockey never moves in straight lines, and that’s exactly why this one’s so much fun. We bring two fanbases under one roof and go deep on what actually shifts a season: the Ducks locking in Mason McTavish and Jackson Lacombe as cornerstone pieces, the emotional and tactical fallout from Trevor Zegras landing in Philadelphia, and the precise tweaks the Kings need to finally power past the first round. We’re not hand-wav...
