Totally Offsides

Undeterred by a water main break under the KROQ building, Chip is joined by Coach Zach Gray to talk his ADFR (Anaheim Duck Fan Reaction) Videos on Youtube.  Chip asks for free shooting advice, and Zach also supplies hot takes on Getzlaf playing defense, Patrick Eaves, and the fan love for Andrew Cogliano. To wrap up the episode, Chip shares her weird Bad Religion/ hockey-related dream.

Chip makes a poor decision and invites George Contreras and Jake Rudolph from Anaheim Calling to come in together. Lacking any adult supervision, this episode, things go awry.  Chip celebrates her first one star rating on Itunes, and since there was no review accompanying it, invites everyone to write their own. There is some  Ducks talk about Pontus Aberg, Daniel Sprong, and Bob Murray's extension, but mostly, everyone makes fun of George being old and Chip harasses Jake about the next Podcast Classic. Enjoy the journey.

Nick Fleehart from Beer League Talk  (BeerLeagueTalk.com) makes a special in studio appearance this week as he and Chip celebrate their teams being at the top of a very shaky Pacific Division for the moment.  The two vent about nightmare beer league teammates, and test their cereal palette with a generic vs. name brand taste test.  If they had Oscars for podcasting, this episode would make us a contender.

Chip is joined by Jake and Cheyne from the Seattle band NRTHWND, and on top of talking Ducks and Sharks hockey,  there's some bonding about growing up in the Orange County music scene. Chain Reaction, Hogue Barmichaels, Goat Hill Tavern and more is covered in-between team chirping, backing the Carolina Hurricanes post-game celebrating and talking the band's new EP "Dark Lakes"

Chip and Jake Robles (Pucks of a Feather) were excited to share their experiences of seeing the band Ghost the night before with CJ Woodling (Anaheim Calling) before any hockey talk started.  Jake presented Chip with a contract to play for Los Machetes and the negotiations became contentious. The crew dives into the growth of the rivalry (mostly on Twitter) between some Ducks and Preds fan in the last few years, and the minor moral victory that was achieved this week for Anaheim faithful. Finally, with the season going the way it has, the "Ducks Experience Drinking Game" has been created.

Who knew depression and frustration would bind Kings and Ducks fans?  Duck fans Chip and Nick Pappas bond with Kings fan Alex Rauch over the current state of hockey in Southern California, while Michael Thomas gloats about his halfway-decent Flyers team. With coaching issues on the mind, the crew discusses the best fictional coaches, and in "What the Puck", Michael teaches us about how Dimebag Darrell was involved with one of the first major injuries to the Stanley Cup.

Chip is joined this week by site experts Ciara and Chris from Pucks of a Feather.  The crew answers "Send It" questions, which includes their rulings on Halloween costumes for pets and who would win in a cage match, Burns or Getzy? The Ducks current woes are discussed, or vented about, but Chip also challenges them to point out some good things. Some.  Finally, they try to wrap their head around the worst jersey ever created.

Vinnie the Barber makes his 1st appearance on the pod, and George Contreras has booked himself for his 3rd appearance. The group discusses their thoughts about the Ducks over the past week, offer an open apology to John Gibson, and talk the return of Feisty Kesler. Because it's the Halloween season, the crew chats about "The Haunting of Hill House" and their favorite horror films, both classic and recent.  Also, Chip unveils her "Rent- A-Chip" program for pickup hockey, which issure to be a success (she thinks).

Chip is joined by Mat McCurley and Jake Robles from Pucks of a Feather, and Chip tells the story about the random way she and Mat become friends.( It may have to do with the greatest sports movie ever made.)  Also, "Send It" questions are answered and the current state of the Ducks is discussed. The conversation then of course veers deeply into "Star Wars" and video games. Finally, the episode wraps up with Chip's conversation with Michael Lu, the Anaheim Ducks' 21st Duck.

What happens when a guest needs to drop out at 11pm before the morning of a podcast recording? This episode! Undeterred with the setback, Chip brings in Kyle Nicolas to chat. Chip talks about getting called a psycho in Beer League, the emergence of young players on the Ducks and Corey Perry's injury is discussed, and Aaron Chabak is introduced as the Totally Offsides Seattle Correspondent.
