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 Mason McTavish keeps sniping through impossible windows. Ross “the Boss” Johnston shocked the room with a Gordie Howe hat trick, while Michael Granlund erupted for his first five-point night as a Duck and Nikita Nesterenko piled up four assists in Boston. The power play still needs polish and the backup crease saw too many pucks, but the kids are pushing the pace and answering every mistake with punchback.
The Kings lived on the edge and made it work. Adrian Kempe buried an overtime winner in Dallas with a bold horns-down celebration, Corey Perry got greasy in the blue paint for his first as a King, and LaFerriere found twine at last. The penalty kill has to tighten, and giveaways are flirting with danger, yet the top six keeps creating, right-shot D keep jumping into lanes, and Darcy Kuemper’s steadying hand stole a result they needed.
We also put the spotlight on fan energy. Nashville’s chants reminded us what a loud barn can do. The Ducks’ Coach Bombay jacket as player-of-the-game keeps the vibe playful and specific. We pitch practical ways to make arenas more alive and three-on-three overtime less of a keep-away drill and more of a creativity stage. Add in league-wide beats—throwback sweaters, Marchand being Marchand, injury shuffles, and contract chatter—and you’ve got a full-ice view of a season heating up.
If you’re into honest recaps, sharp takes, and a few laughs between goals, press play now. Subscribe, share with a fellow fan, and drop your three stars of the week in the comments—we’ll read our favorites on the next livestream.
