There were so many times the Ducks blew late leads over the course of the past 4 seasons, that this will now be a 3-part set of episodes. Oh joy. JD Hernandez talks about how the Ducks were able to lead the league in blown LATE leads over the last two seasons, and why they mattered early in the 2021-22 season. Also, was the Ducks blowing leads, yet somehow still winning in extra time, a sign of things to come?

There are many ways to define the Dallas Eakins era during his 4-year coaching tenure in Anaheim. Some would say his benching of certain players is what is remembered most. However, JD Hernandez looks at the inability to hold a lead late in the game... for just the first two seasons. From the Ducks blowing a 4-goal lead in Florida to allowing a hat trick... to allowing another hat trick 4 weeks later. Sadly, this is just the beginning in this two-parter.

Adam Fantilli had a rather egregious hit during the World Championships, and while it wasn't dirty, it does bring up the question if that was the kind of toughness that was missing in Anaheim. JD Hernandez talks about why Fantilli should be able to bring that level of grit. Finally, a disgusting display took place in Dallas as they find themselves one loss away from being eliminated in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Finally, JD peels back the curtain and finally talks about another desert-dwelling team that IS having some success.

With only a month to go before the NHL Draft, the coaching search will begin to heat up, and JD Hernandez looks in-depth at some more names that could be available. One of those names is current Maple Leafs assistant coach, Spencer Carbury. He deserves a head coaching shot, and will likely be looking to leave Toronto amidst the turmoil after another disappointing playoff run in Toronto. Also, should the Ducks also look overseas for a new coach just like they did with the Gulls?

JD Hernandez is back to talk about... who might be a good fit for the Anaheim Ducks as far as coaching is concerned. While the Ducks did fall to the #2 pick, there are still plenty of coaches that will be salivating at the chance to coach some up-and-coming young talent, and why Anaheim might be a more attractive landing spot than other coaching vacancies in the NHL.

The Anaheim Ducks just set a new shots against record over the weekend, and this is the cherry on top of another lost season. JD Hernandez explains what the record signifies and how we got to this point. Also, Cam Fowler set an all-time NHL record... and it wasn't pretty either. Even worse, the Ducks blew late third-period leads in consecutive games that has been a terrible pattern in the Dallas Eakins era.

With the Anaheim Ducks playing plenty of nationally televised games recently, JD Hernandez tackles the question that came up again last week. Does Trevor Zegras need to watch what he says and calm down? Zegras is clearly the scoring leader of the team and the pulse of this young team, but does he need to change (even a little bit) in order to become a truly elite player in the NHL?

We're back to talk about... the possible goaltender of the future!

Alexander put on a pair of phenomenal performances against the Tucson Roadrunners, including a game where nobody helped Gage. Finally, who else can we possibly look forward to seeing next season?
