The Anaheim Ducks may be out of the Stanley Cup Playoffs — but the future in Anaheim has never looked brighter.

On Episode 16 of The Mask & The Mic, Guy Hebert and Kent French reflect on a breakthrough season for the Anaheim Ducks. After missing the postseason for seven straight years, the Ducks exceeded expectations, returned to playoff hockey, advanced to the second round, and gave fans a glimpse of what could be the beginning of something special.

Guy and Kent break down the Ducks’ season, discuss the young core that has Anaheim trending upward, and explain why this team may be positioned for long-term success in the NHL.

The conversation then shifts to the remaining teams in the Stanley Cup Playoffs as the guys analyze the final four contenders, compare the goaltending matchups, and share their thoughts on who has the best chance to reach the Stanley Cup Final.

And finally, Kent shares a personal full-circle moment as he steps back into the world of baseball broadcasting, once again hosting pregame and postgame coverage for the Los Angeles Angels. He recounts an unforgettable night at the ballpark when the Angels broke up a no-hitter in the 9th inning before walking it off on a dramatic two-run home run by Zach Neto. Kent describes the energy inside the stadium, the chaos of the moment, and what it was like conducting the on-field interview immediately after the game-winning hit.

From playoff hockey to walk-off baseball drama, Episode 16 is all about momentum, opportunity, and why the future feels exciting.
