PRESS PLAY
DucksNPucks Podcast is an Anaheim Ducks show with its feet planted in the regular grind of a hockey season. Mike Walters and Eddie Richard follow the team through wins, ugly losses, injuries, deadline news, roster questions, and playoff pressure. The show is direct. It does not treat Ducks fandom as a neutral exercise; when the team is hanging around first place, struggling on special teams, or stumbling through a bad stretch, the reaction is immediate and personal. Recent episodes capture that range clearly. One minute the conversation is full of disbelief that Anaheim is back in the playoffs for the first time since 2018. The next, it is picking apart power-play failures, penalty-kill trouble, trade possibilities, and whether the Ducks are really as strong as their place in the standings suggests. The hosts talk through the Oilers, Jets, Stars, Rangers, Devils, Detroit, Calgary, Seattle, Vegas, and broader Stanley Cup playoff matchups without losing the Anaheim focus. Trade-deadline episodes bring in the John Carlson acquisition, Ryan Strome movement, a contract extension, and Pat Verbeek's own account of how a deal came together. Other installments widen the frame. Trent Sullivan appears for a 21st Duck interview, bringing a more personal, inspirational story into a show usually driven by game pressure and roster debate. Eddie's absences, medical stress, and grief around Lauren's death also give the feed a human texture beyond the standings. The result is not polished national-panel hockey talk. It is local, keyed-in, occasionally messy, and often funny in the way fan conversations become funny when the season gets strange. DucksNPucks Podcast works best for Anaheim followers who want strong opinions, detailed game memory, trade-deadline attention, and a show that can celebrate, vent, and reset all in the same episode.
Made for: The show is for Anaheim Ducks fans who want team-specific analysis, emotional game reaction, and NHL context from a Ducks-first point of view. It also fits hockey listeners who follow roster moves, trade deadlines, playoff races, and special-teams debates.
What sets it apart: DucksNPucks stands out through its mix of granular Ducks coverage and unfiltered fan urgency. It can move from a Pat Verbeek trade explanation to power-play criticism to a personal community moment without losing its Anaheim center of gravity.
