Send us a text A quiet week off? Not even close. We came back to a league on tilt: Artemi Panarin chose Los Angeles, signed a buyout-proof two-year deal, and instantly changed how the Kings attack the stretch run. Meanwhile, the Ducks balanced a heartfelt farewell to a beloved superfan with a gritty push to keep a playoff spot, riding big nights from Cutter Gauthier, Mikael Granlund, and Jackson LaCombe while grinding through a maddening shutout loss and a satisfying sweep of Vegas. We pull ...
Send us a text A late-night show with early-morning energy: we open with laughs and jump straight into the week’s biggest swings for Ducks and Kings fans. Leo Carlsson’s thigh procedure casts doubt over Sweden’s Olympic plans, Mason McTavish exits late with an upper-body issue, and Jackson Lacombe earns a deserved call to Team USA thanks to smart role-for-role roster thinking. On the Kings side, trade watch heats up with Connor Garland and Evander Kane rumors, while Brandt Clark finds his gro...
Send us a text The Freeway Faceoff delivered everything we love about SoCal hockey: pace, pushback, and a shootout finish that felt like a high-wire act. We break down how Mason McTavish turned patience into a hammer, how Beckett Sennecke’s hands changed the angle, and why Brandt Clarke’s confidence matters late. From tight 5-on-5 details to the psychology of slowing a goalie’s read, we unpack the moments that swung a rivalry game. Beyond the spotlight, both front offices have real decisions...
Send us a text A brutal stretch for SoCal hockey turns into a candid therapy session and a scouting report rolled into one. We open with the Ducks’ eight-game slide and the growing nerves around Cutter Gauthier’s extension, then challenge the logic of chasing the wrong trade targets while scratching one of the few consistent forwards in Ryan Strome. Waivers for Nikita Nesterenko and a goalie shuffle with Mrazek to IR and Husso back up only added to the churn. The pattern is clear: Anaheim oft...
Send us a text A rivalry rout, a painful pattern, and a few bright sparks set the stage for one of our most candid shows yet. We open on the Kings’ 6–1 statement over the Ducks and the Sharks’ five-goals-on-13-shots stunner, then rewind the tape to ask why Anaheim keeps spotting teams the first goal and how that habit wrecks structure, special teams, and momentum. On the other side, we talk through the Kings’ identity tug-of-war: a reliable defensive base that still needs more bite on the pow...
Send us a text Southern California hockey brought big feelings this week: a front-office shakeup in LA, trade buzz in Anaheim, and a pair of games that showed how special teams and shot quality can flip a scoreboard. We start with community—holiday check-ins, shoutouts, and a push to hit our subscriber goal—then head straight into the real changes. Marc Bergevin heads to Buffalo for a bigger role, while Jim Hiller steps into direct power play control. It’s overdue, and the timing says it all:...

The bright lights of Los Angeles shimmered with pride, While Orange County glowed softly with coastline beside. The sweaters were hung in the locker rooms with care, In hopes that a rivalry showdown soon would be there. The Ducks were nestled in Anaheim, snug in their beds, While vis...
Send us a text Hockey rarely grants tidy weeks, and this one came wrapped in chaos. We kick off with festive energy and a spotlight on creators keeping SoCal fans informed before diving straight into the turbulence: Anaheim’s goalie shuffle as Petr Mrazek returns and Lukas Dostal reclaims the net, Leo Carlson’s tear that evokes Teemu-era memories, and a hard-but-fair fine for Frank Vatrano after a dust-up with Jason Robertson. Then we celebrate a franchise voice—Steve Carroll’s 2,000th Ducks ...
Send us a text 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 ...

Send us a text The Pacific Division just got spicy again. A chaotic Orange Friday shootout, an OT heist against Vegas, and a razor-thin loss to Vancouver set the stage for a week where identity and execution mattered on every shift. We break down why Anaheim suddenly scores in waves—Leo Carlsson threading passes, Jackson Lacombe and Olen Zellweger jumping into lanes, and Cutter Gauthier punishing turnovers—and how Troy Terry and Chris Kreider are reshaping the power play into a real threat. W...
Send us a text 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 Clarke center stage, the defensive metrics trend up, but timely ...
Send us a text The pace is up, the hits are down, and the plot is thick. Southern California hockey just delivered a week that flipped expectations: Anaheim punched above its weight behind Leo Carlson’s surge, while LA leaned on Corey Perry’s unlikely spark and Quentin Byfield’s OT touch to steal points in tough buildings. We sift through the noise to find the real signals—why the Ducks look legitimate even in a loss to Colorado, and how the Kings’ home/away split reveals a physical and speci...
Send us a text 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 turned zone entries into scoring chances on command, while Cutter Gaut...
Send us a text 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, and Mason McTavish’s bully-in-traffic mindset. Mix in the emot...
Send us a text 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 finisher, Leo Carlsson carries himself like a veteran play-driver, and...
Send us a text 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 building a leadership core that matches their identity. When a po...
Send us a text 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 windows and wagers matter. We also talk aesthetics, because the...
Send us a text 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-waving; we’re talking usage, special teams, depth minutes, and t...
