The AHL regular season is drawing to a conclusion, and the San Diego Gulls have clinched the worst record in the league. JD Hernandez looks onward to next season and what Gulls fans should feel optimistic about. Which players could make an impact, and who will likely wind up with Anaheim instead? Also, the veterans are getting the job done in Iowa!

The Ducks losing streak continues as the Oilers are victorious in Anaheim... not behind McDavid?? A dubious record is now within reach... how bad can it get? Also, Lukas Dostal was stellar in net and should not shoulder ANY of the blame for the loss. JD Hernandez explains how terrific the netminder was, and how he was the best player of the night.

The Anaheim Ducks' defensive woes continue as they lose a pair of games to the Oilers and Flames. JD Hernandez is back to talk about just how close the Ducks are to achieving (?) some more history. They allowed a plethora of shots against two hot teams, and the goalies have done yeoman's work of keeping the Ducks in games... despite the poor defense.

Happy April 1st! The Ducks take the tank show to Edmonton as they are set to face off against... the Edmonton Oilers who have the historically good two-headed monster in McDavid and Draisaitl. Also, we look at how close the Ducks are to a historic record... ick.

There are about two weeks left in the season for ALL Ducks affiliate teams. Anaheim is battling for Bedard, San Diego is about to clinch the worst record in the AHL, and even the Tulsa Oilers are dead-last in the West in the ECHL. Which reinforcements are coming to those teams to close out the season? JD Hernandez explains that while there may be a couple black aces coming, it probably won't help much at all.

The Anaheim Ducks get shellacked at home once again before hitting the road. JD Hernandez talks about just how bad this team is, and we are now on "history watch" as this year's Ducks team is getting close to setting an all-time record that they probably don't want to set. Also, JD breaks down the past couple games and what troubling new patterns are occurring on the defensive end. Finally, is there any chance for the Ducks to move below 29th in the NHL standings for a better chance at Bedard?

First, the Ducks are eliminated from playoff contention in March. Now their AHL counterpart suffers the same embarassing fate. JD Hernandez breaks down what went wrong this season, and what changes are coming. Also, Olle Eriksson Ek injured... should he play another minute this season?

For the 5th consecutive season, the Anaheim Ducks will not take part in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The last 4 years have been under the watch of head coach, Dallas Eakins. How did we get here, and where do we go now? JD Hernandez tries to make sense of what has happened with this team, and where the blame should go. Also, what needs to happen for the Ducks to get back to their once-winning ways?

In the latest "Battle For Bedard," the Anaheim Ducks were victorious over the last-place Columbus Blue Jackets. This game officially put Columbus out of contention, but JD Hernandez finds the immense amount of fun for Ducks fans in this game. Troy Terry continues to dazzle, Trevor Zegras gets the easiest goal of his young career... and Max Jones celebrates like nobody is watching!

For the first time in over a year, the San Diego Gulls won four consecutive games, including a pair of back-to-back wins against the reeling Silver Knights. JD Hernandez is joined by Sarah Avampato (Calder Farmstead). Why? Let's just say she made a funsies prediction of sorts. Also, they talk about goaltending in general, and how Gage Alexander relates to the discussion.

On a follow-up episode from yesterday's podcast, JD Hernandez weighs in on the recent article about the leadership qualities that Mason McTavish is already exhibiting. We reinforce reasons why Mason could take the captain's spot for the Ducks for many years to come, and why he is already mature enough to take on that crucial role. Also, JD has a little fun and talks about one way the NHL is trying to appeal to young kids...

The Anaheim Ducks get another overtime point putting them further away from the #1 pick in the upcoming draft. JD Hernandez talks about the game, and the ebbs and flows of Mason McTavish, who scored two goals in the game. McTavish had a monster game, but still has some polishing to do in his overall game. Also, how close are we getting to getting mathematically eliminated?

Another road victory for the Ducks places them further away from possibly landing Connor Bedard. JD Hernandez tries to console those on the "Team Tank" train as much as possible. Also, John Gibson sets a Ducks record for most saves! Of course, this could come at a price as the Ducks are approaching another dubious record as a team.

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! JD Hernandez talks about why it should be Gage Alexander, and not Olle Eriksson Ek as the potential #1 goaltender for the San Diego Gulls next season, and the parallels in how he was brought up through the ranks like Lukas Dostal. 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? Special thanks to Sean O'Brien (Calder Farmstead) for his help!

It is trade deadline day, and the Anaheim Ducks FINALLY made some moves under the wire. JD Hernandez navigates the moves the Ducks have made so far including another trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins for Dmitry Kulikov. Where could Brock McGinn fit in?

JD Hernandez joins Gil Martin to break down the Dmitry Kulikov trade.

Less than 24 hours before the deadline, it's not the Ducks that are making trade noise. In fact, it's the San Diego Gulls that sent shockwaves across the AHL by shipping off the league's leading goal scorer, Rocco Grimaldi to the Midwest. JD Hernandez breaks down all the trades that took place, including a signing rights trade, and a secondary trade that brings everything together. Could Rocco see some significant playoff action next month? What does this mean for the Gulls, and did they get back anything of... decent value?

It was another battle of the worst teams in the Western Conference, and with the Blackhawks missing several key players, including a major player just getting traded, the Ducks had an easy time getting their 3rd consecutive victory. JD Hernandez breaks down the game, and also breaks down the BIG trade that involved now-former Blackhawk, Patrick Kane. As for John Klingberg, should the Ducks strike now while the iron is hot, or wait one more game?

John Gibson is playing like he has something to prove. The defense in front of him is playing like they're ready to golf. JD Hernandez talks about the latest 50-save masterpiece put together by Gibby in a thrilling victory against the Carolina Hurricanes. He is approaching some record numbers that we haven't seen in decades. Also, the team is inching closer to another dubious record mere days before the trade deadline.

With the Ducks about to wrap up another road trip, JD Hernandez looks at a couple records that will likely be broken by this season's Anaheim Ducks squad. Everybody take a shot... if you're playing the Ducks! How did we get here, and was there anything that would have possibly helped them this season?

The Anaheim Ducks finally get their 8th regulation win of the season as Troy Terry finally returns from injury, and Alex Ovechkin returns from Russia. Some wacky puck luck went the Ducks' way, some unexpected scoring took place, and John Gibson showed that he's still capable of being a quality goalie in the league. Does that raise his trade value, and could this lead to success for Gibby?

The Gulls and the Rockford Icehogs made a trade! Josiah Slavin is sent to the San Diego Gulls in exchange for defenseman-turned-forward Hunter Drew. JD Hernandez bids a fond farewell to Hunter Drew, and we welcome the Blackhawks' 7th round pick to southern California. Also, Rocco Grimaldi tries to single-handedly beat the Ontario Reign, and we may have a complicated goalie situation brewing in San Diego soon.

It was a night of Lightning strikes in Tampa Bay as the Ducks allowed six unanswered goals in another road loss, 6-1. Lukas Dostal was the victim of poor defense once again. JD Hernandez points out which players were out of sorts on defense, and if Dostal really did everything he could in this laugher.

Another game where the Ducks' defense couldn't help out John Gibson results in an overtime loss at Florida. JD Hernandez made the prediction nine days ago that the Panthers would put up 55 shots on the Ducks... but should it have been that many shots? Which Anaheim players had a decent outing, and what went right for the Ducks?
