00:00:00Alright, alright, alright. How's everyone doing? Hope you're all doing well. I'm doing well, thanks for asking. Let's go ahead and play some NHL 26.

00:00:14I'm going to be doing the Be A Pro mode and I am a player for the Anaheim Ducks in the Be A Pro mode.

00:00:37I got some mixed berry flavored water with me. It's actually grape flavored. I don't know why I say mixed berry. It's from Kroger.

00:00:54This is the mixed berry flavored water.

00:00:58And some Apple Burst flavored Gatorade Zero.

00:01:22And some cool blue Gatorade Zero as well.

00:01:40Let's set this down now.

00:02:02Alright. Let's see if we can win any games.

00:02:12It's last day of September actually. Last day of September.

00:02:18So we scored there.

00:02:26Zero went by fast actually.

00:02:28The preseason actually started.

00:02:38This is the preseason for the NHL 26 Be A Pro mode.

00:02:48The 2025-2026 season, I should say.

00:03:04And against the Seattle Kraken in this first game.

00:03:10Now both Real Madrid and Ajax actually play in the Champions League today.

00:03:26I'm a fan of all teams.

00:03:44In soccer.

00:03:52And on NHL, I don't watch NHL that much.

00:03:56But if I had to choose a favorite team, it would be the Seattle Kraken.

00:04:00Probably know the least about hockey.

00:04:06Of the major sports.

00:04:08Of the major sports in the US.

00:04:16Don't mind seeing the Dallas Stars do well.

00:04:18But they're like the closest team to where I'm from.

00:04:22But I prefer the Seattle Kraken.

00:04:50It's gonna be icy unintentionally though.

00:04:52It's gonna be icy unintentionally though.

00:04:54Because the LA is going to be icy unintentionally.

00:04:56So basically they're off.

00:04:58And they're going to be icy unintentionally.

00:05:00I'm going to ask if, you know.

00:05:02We've got some of these little tests.

00:05:04But they go in the middle, we're going to do that.

00:05:06And they really hit the middle of the game.

00:05:08And they're going to apply some of these things.

00:05:10And they can be courteous.

00:05:12And they're going to be really cool.

00:05:14And they're going to get back to game.

00:05:16And I don't have to do this.

00:05:18And they're going to beии.

00:05:20End of the first period, actually.

00:05:29Excuse me, I think we still have the only goal of the game.

00:05:41Not that that's a bad thing, but...

00:05:54Unfortunately, while we were on the bench, Seattle scored.

00:06:19So, we're going to skip this.

00:06:25I think we are going to skip this.

00:06:30If you want to skip this, we'll skip this.

00:06:35We'll skip this.

00:06:40Come on, let's get the puck, score now, guess what we did right there.

00:07:02I know for NHL, predicting the Stanley Cup Finals,

00:07:32are usually unpredictable because it's...

00:07:38I know the upsets tend to happen in the allotted playoffs.

00:07:51Although granted, the Panthers and the Oilers played in the Stanley Cup Finals these past two years.

00:08:00So with the Panthers winning both of them.

00:08:04And it was also Florida's first two Stanley Cup wins as well.

00:08:10OK.

00:08:14Oh, I'm going to lose this fight.

00:08:44Dang it.

00:09:14I'm still feeling a little sick, actually.

00:09:17Still a bit of a sore throat.

00:09:19My nose is blocked up a little bit, but...

00:09:23We're absolutely the worst on Thursday.

00:09:32On Wednesday, I actually called him sick from work.

00:09:37Thursday, I actually tried to go in, and I worked for about five hours.

00:09:44Two of those would have been overtime, but...

00:09:49And I stayed the full day, but then I went home early from work.

00:10:01And then Friday, I...

00:10:08Friday, I missed the entire day.

00:10:13And then I actually...

00:10:16Went to work yesterday, which was Monday.

00:10:20And I managed to stay the entire day, because I wasn't feeling that bad.

00:10:24So...

00:10:25Okay.

00:10:26Okay.

00:10:27Okay.

00:10:28Okay.

00:10:29Okay.

00:10:30Let's see if we can score a hat trick, actually.

00:10:36Let's see if we can score a hat trick, actually.

00:10:57Let's see if we can score a hat trick, actually.

00:11:21Let's see if we can score a hat trick on this.

00:11:51I would have stayed on if we had gotten the puck back, but we didn't.

00:12:00No hat trick for us.

00:12:16We didn't score two goals though.

00:12:21So, here we go.

00:12:25Okay.

00:12:32Okay.

00:12:36Okay.

00:12:39Okay.

00:12:41Okay.

00:12:44Okay.

00:12:46Oh, that's the regular season, actually.

00:13:16I thought that was the preseason.

00:13:34Sweet.

00:13:35We got our first two goals.

00:13:44I don't know why I thought it was the preseason.

00:13:46I'm so used to playing the preseason first, before the regular season in the NHL games.

00:13:56Not that skipping the regular, not that skipping the...

00:14:00Preseason is a bad thing, but...

00:14:12I know that the regular season for Major League Baseball has ended, and...

00:14:29Unfortunately, my favorite team, the Los Angeles Angels, did not qualify for the playoffs.

00:14:35Finished dead last in the division.

00:14:50We weren't the last in the American League, let alone all of Major League Baseball, but...

00:14:57In our division, we were the worst team.

00:15:07Wouldn't mind seeing Seattle get their first World Series title and appearance?

00:15:14Of the teams that qualified for the playoffs, I wouldn't mind seeing Milwaukee or San Diego qualify for the...

00:15:31Or, and win the World Series.

00:15:36My favorite team doesn't make the playoffs.

00:15:39I usually root for the teams with either the fewest amount of championships, or the one that hasn't won it at all.

00:15:45So, I know the playoffs start today.

00:16:01So, it should be interesting to see who wins the World Series.

00:16:05Well, Texas actually was the most recent team to win...

00:16:10Their first World Series, the Texas Rangers.

00:16:15And they won it in 2023.

00:16:41Dang it.

00:16:41People got it all the way.

00:16:45So, in the NHL, Florida was the most recent team to win their first Stanley Cup.

00:17:07And they actually won it for a second time, in the second straight year.

00:17:14This past season, I should say.

00:17:15So, it should be interesting to see if they can win three in a row.

00:17:34You know, Kansas City nearly won three in a row in the Super Bowl.

00:17:56No team has won three Super Bowls in a row in a row.

00:18:01Kansas City nearly did.

00:18:04Won two in a row before losing to Philly.

00:18:06In this past season, I know the NFL season is going on right now.

00:18:13Last one.

00:18:18Okay.

00:18:30Okay.

00:18:31Ah, we turn it over.

00:19:01So, third goal of the season. First of the night. Not bad. And it's an away game for us.

00:19:16Must have, because I thought my teammate, I thought the goalie had actually successfully deflected it. And then we, or my teammate put it in. So, well that would have been my first career assist in NHL 26.

00:20:17Fortunately, San Jose scored a power play. Goal.

00:20:33Is it in the second period already? Yes it is.

00:20:46For those of you that watch hockey, who do you think will win the Stanley Cup this year?

00:21:03For those of you that watch hockey, who do you think will win the Stanley Cup this year?

00:21:10I want Seattle to win, but I think Florida will win. Just because they're the defending champions.

00:21:27If not Florida, then I think Edmonton will.

00:21:34I want Seattle to win, but I think Florida will win. Just because they're the defending champions. If not Florida, then I think Edmonton will.

00:21:41Second goal of the game.

00:21:42Second goal of the game.

00:21:43Second goal of the game.

00:21:48Not that that's a bad thing.

00:21:49One goal away from a hat-trick now.

00:21:55Second goal away from a hat-trick now.

00:21:56Second goal away from a hat-trick now.

00:22:02Second goal away from a hat-trick now.

00:22:09Maybe I can get a hat-trick this game. Hopefully I can.

00:22:12First hat-trick in NHL 26. That would be pretty cool, I think.

00:22:31I don't remember getting a hat-trick in my previous one or two NHL 26 videos.

00:22:40I could be wrong, though.

00:22:45As our teammates scored there.

00:22:49That's good.

00:22:53I was not expecting him to score, but I'm glad he did.

00:23:10Yeah, those were some pretty poor shots from us.

00:23:27Guided to McTavish, who unfortunately turned it over.

00:23:52Offside, I guess.

00:23:57Offside, I guess.

00:24:27了 term.

00:24:30Three second goal there.

00:24:34There we go.

00:24:35We got a hat-trick now.

00:24:37And it was an empty netter.

00:24:40Excuse me Fiona.

00:25:10Nearly had a fourth goal there.

00:25:33Fourth goal there.

00:26:00Will you turn it off my Mac and my face can now?

00:26:30I'm not going to do that.

00:26:37I'm not going to do that.

00:26:40I'm not going to do that.

00:26:45Tonight we start off with our home opener in our barn.

00:27:12Everyone is passionate.

00:27:15This city's been buzzing all day, and it's time to finally see what's up.

00:27:25Slides it quickly to the table.

00:27:29And they'll dump it in.

00:27:32Battling for it along the boards.

00:27:34Here in the corner, he grabs the puck.

00:27:37Here's a shot.

00:27:38Stumped by the goaltender, getting a piece of that one.

00:27:41Getting a little too physical to maintain possession.

00:27:44Craig Reed with the stick.

00:27:46Gary's made a nice save to start this game, James.

00:27:48And that's going to do a lot for his confidence.

00:27:50You can see it in just the way he's carrying himself.

00:27:52Coming off that blowout.

00:27:53He knew that the start would be pivotal.

00:27:55And a great scene!

00:27:57Anaheim's going to play the puck from behind the cage.

00:28:06Oh, he's got a piece of it to keep it out.

00:28:09Goaltender spent so much time doing tracking exercises,

00:28:12and it's utilized right here as he knows where this puck is coming from,

00:28:15and he makes the save.

00:28:17Quick shot!

00:28:18That's blown by Dostal.

00:28:20There's the whistle.

00:28:21We're going to face off after the goalie covers up.

00:28:24We're still in the early stages of this period.

00:28:28The game is still scoreless.

00:28:30Let's go, James!

00:28:31Let's go, James!

00:28:33Let's go, James!

00:28:34Engine closer to the midway mark of the period.

00:28:37Still scoreless in this one.

00:28:41The Penguins win the draw.

00:28:43Don't beat the goaltender, but hook beat the post.

00:28:46A huge opportunity there, James,

00:28:48to get the goal-head goal in this game.

00:28:50You know what that does?

00:28:51It creates a ton of momentum.

00:28:52That's good!

00:28:53Oh!

00:28:54There's it in a high goal!

00:29:02Well, he does a great job of getting to position,

00:29:04net front, James,

00:29:05and then with a quick flick of the wrist,

00:29:06he buries it.

00:29:11The Ducks draw first blood here in period number one.

00:29:14Yeah, it's been a bit of a scrappy play

00:29:16going back and forth here, James,

00:29:18but they get up by one,

00:29:20and you've got to wonder if it now opens the game up.

00:29:24And off the draw, they win the face-off.

00:29:26Oh, look at this!

00:29:28Bruno's got it along the wing!

00:29:30Comes up with a stop!

00:29:32Melbourne's loving the puck!

00:29:34The Penguins are across the line and into the offensive end.

00:29:38The Ducks get a hold of the puck along the boards.

00:29:42And it's poked away in the neutral zone.

00:29:45Nice heads-up play there!

00:29:47Offside the call.

00:29:48We'll get a face-off coming up.

00:29:50Both teams are set.

00:29:52They're ready to drop the puck.

00:29:59And they take control of the puck here in the neutral zone.

00:30:03Looking to make something happen along the boards.

00:30:06Here's the shot!

00:30:07Oh, he gets a piece of the puck to deny them there!

00:30:10This is a great reactive save.

00:30:12I mean, he sees the puck at the last second

00:30:14and is able to get his body in front of it.

00:30:16That is tough, not easy to do.

00:30:18He found it and he made the save.

00:30:19He's made an incredible save there.

00:30:22Not sure how he kept that out of the net.

00:30:24Just really athletic.

00:30:25I mean, you have to be acrobatic

00:30:26to be able to get to the top of your crease like that.

00:30:29But he read it perfectly

00:30:30to be able to make the save and keep it at bay.

00:30:35Tries to get it over to McTavish.

00:30:38Slides the puck across to Radish.

00:30:42Anaheim's on the attack.

00:30:44Decides to go to the backhand!

00:30:46Goaltender covers up.

00:30:47We got a stoppage in play.

00:30:48Pass the midway mark in this period.

00:30:51The Ducks have taken a 1-0 lead.

00:30:57The Penguins win the draw here in their own end.

00:31:01Takes the feed.

00:31:02The Penguins touch against the left wall.

00:31:03Moosey Petrouba.

00:31:04After that huge hit, he's really laboring to get off the ice.

00:31:16And you know that no player ever wants to stay down, so he's finding a way, mustering up everything he's got in him to find his way to the bench.

00:31:24Oh, James, he took a huge hit there.

00:31:26We'll have to have another look at that one, but looks like he's having a hard time getting up.

00:31:30Anaheim's been very impressive to watch in the offensive zone, and they lead it here in the first.

00:31:36Pittsburgh's won the defensive zone drop.

00:31:38The Ducks have it now.

00:31:39The Ducks have it now.

00:31:40Both sides digging into that buckle down the wall.

00:31:42The Penguins still hold that puck in the open ice.

00:31:44Let's an open space at center.

00:31:45Take the pass.

00:31:46Moosey quickly over Timbovac.

00:31:47He knows he's only one goal away from his next milestone.

00:31:48That's why he's possessing the puck tonight.

00:31:49Puck picked up by Reddish.

00:31:50Takes the feed in the middle.

00:31:51The Ducks have it now.

00:31:52The Ducks have it now.

00:31:53Both sides digging into that buckle down the wall.

00:31:54The Penguins still hold that puck in the open ice.

00:31:55With some open space at center.

00:31:56Takes the pass.

00:31:57Moosey quickly over Timbovac.

00:31:58He knows he's only one goal away from his next milestone, and that's why he's possessing the puck tonight.

00:32:10Puck picked up by Reddish.

00:32:12Takes the feed in the middle of the ice.

00:32:15Takes the shot.

00:32:17Way too much congestion blocks that.

00:32:20Big time stop there.

00:32:23Puck grab by Melkin.

00:32:26Quick pass across to Raquel.

00:32:29Good hook to pump him off the puck.

00:32:32Picked up along the boards by Strom.

00:32:35Oh, they'll be forced to start over from center

00:32:38as the puck leaves the zone.

00:32:40Fires it on net.

00:32:42And that one's turned away.

00:32:43Shucks him down.

00:32:45Can't connect.

00:32:46Good use of the body on that play.

00:32:48And there's the whistle icing the call.

00:32:55More than half the frame has been played here.

00:32:57Anaheim's ahead, 1-0.

00:33:03Strom's won a big draw on their own end.

00:33:05Huge win by the center to give his team an opportunity

00:33:08to get out of the zone after a critical icing.

00:33:14Moves the puck along the half wall.

00:33:16Takes the shot.

00:33:17Close save.

00:33:18I don't think we talk often enough about the skill of balance on your edges.

00:33:23I mean, he is able to manipulate because he is so strong.

00:33:27And he's able to hold on to the puck even though the defenders are right on him.

00:33:30Some last-second communication before both teams get ready to drop the puck here.

00:33:40Off the face-off, they take the puck.

00:33:45Both teams getting a good sweat on after this first period.

00:33:55We've got lots more in store.

00:33:57And we're coming back with a clean sheet of ice next.

00:33:59Every playoff game, our team store brings you our item of the game.

00:34:03Stay warm and stylish here at the ring with a scarf tonight priced at just $10.

00:34:08Make sure to stop off at any team store here in the arena.

00:34:12If you're specially priced item of the game, our scarf tonight is just $10.

00:34:16Hurry as supplies are permitted.

00:34:46One-01, one-02.

00:35:05...

00:35:15Opening face-off here in this second period is about set to go.

00:35:23Works it across to McTavish.

00:35:27Receives the pass.

00:35:30Sends it in front. Takes the last.

00:35:33And they'll cover it up, forcing a stoppage in play.

00:35:39Still plenty of time left in this frame.

00:35:41The next goal could be a big one as we are tied.

00:35:47McTavish has won the draw in his own end.

00:35:49Now let's see if they can clear it.

00:35:51Quick pass to Eller.

00:35:53Anaheim's moving into the offensive end.

00:35:56Stops that one.

00:35:58Radish is looking to make something happen here in the corner.

00:36:02The Greenwoods in possession.

00:36:06Here they come up along the wing.

00:36:07Dishes it out.

00:36:11Great save by Nostal.

00:36:13Great use of the body to knock him off the puck.

00:36:16And now he moves it to Radish.

00:36:19And that's just out of reach.

00:36:21Slips the pass in front.

00:36:23And he'll hang on to a terrain group here for a moment.

00:36:27Game time stop.

00:36:29D'Angelo stick handling in his own zone.

00:36:31And now he angles it across to Nieto.

00:36:37And he gets it far left.

00:36:39Scal is able to put that puck to the corner and it really keeps the puck out of harm's way.

00:36:43No second shot opportunity.

00:36:45There's the whistle icing the call.

00:36:47Big face off looming.

00:36:49Yari's last save was outstanding.

00:36:51He knew exactly where that puck was going to go.

00:36:53That's anticipation at its finest.

00:36:55To be able to get to the right spot.

00:36:56Know where that puck is coming from.

00:36:58And make a high grade A save.

00:37:00The Penguins win that offensive zone face off.

00:37:02The coach and team reminding each other that this is a critical face off.

00:37:08Anytime you've got your opponent on their heels.

00:37:10After an icing you have to find a way and have urgency and attack.

00:37:13Inching closer to the midway mark of this period.

00:37:17It's all tied up.

00:37:20More than half the period has expired.

00:37:23You can feel the energy in this crowd.

00:37:26It's a tie game.

00:37:28Pittsburgh's won the face off.

00:37:29And the stick falls on the play.

00:37:33And that's a tough one James when you're in a prime scoring area.

00:37:36And you're in a position there.

00:37:38Well that's just an absolutely huge hit James.

00:37:40And there's going to be a stoppage in play here.

00:37:41Because I think that pane of glass is broken.

00:37:43Well that's how you get a puck James.

00:37:46I mean you recognize the timing it takes to meet your opponent right at the right time.

00:37:50And I mean that's just an explosive hit.

00:37:51Gets the job done.

00:37:53Some last second communication with the D as centers get ready to drop the puck.

00:37:59And as the puck is dropped they win the draw here inside the defensive zone.

00:38:04Picked up along the wall by Grattis.

00:38:07Tosses it to McTavis.

00:38:09Tries to get the puck over to LeCole.

00:38:12Tries some trees.

00:38:15Pittsburgh's got a hold of the puck now.

00:38:17Taken by Carlsen.

00:38:21And a line's got it now.

00:38:24Great reach from the puck by Carlsen.

00:38:28Nowhere for that shot to go through.

00:38:31Looking to make something happen in the offensive zone.

00:38:34The Ducks get a hold of the puck in their own end.

00:38:37Takes the back feed.

00:38:39Fires it.

00:38:41Denies him.

00:38:43And he takes the feed.

00:38:45Pittsburgh's got it in their own zone.

00:38:49Odd man rush.

00:38:51To his teammate.

00:38:53Oh that's a great heads up play by Quinn.

00:38:56With possession along the wall.

00:38:59And he had an answer with that save.

00:39:01Just here in the late stages of this frame.

00:39:10We got a tie game.

00:39:19And that brings the period to an end.

00:39:22Alright, third period just around the corner.

00:39:24We'll get a clean sheet of ice.

00:39:26I'm gonna get more popcorn.

00:39:28And we're coming back with much more.

00:39:29Next.

00:39:34Coaches have shared their final messages.

00:39:37Players are on the ice.

00:39:38And period number three is coming up.

00:39:44Kick pass over to McTavish.

00:39:47The Ducks cross the line and gain the zone.

00:39:52Anaheim's got the puck.

00:39:54And that will fall as it hits one of his own teammates in front.

00:39:57Wrist shot from the slot.

00:39:59Oh he kind of struggled with that one.

00:40:02But he got just enough to keep it out.

00:40:04Unreal pressure.

00:40:06Oh my goodness he's on fire again.

00:40:09He's going to cover.

00:40:11Sure he's going to get on to the puck for the whistle.

00:40:13The Turo whistle.

00:40:14Oh.

00:40:16Oh.

00:40:21Oh yeah.

00:40:22Oh.

00:40:25Oh.

00:40:26Oh.

00:40:28Oh.

00:40:30Oh.

00:40:31Oh.

00:40:32Oh.

00:40:33Oh.

00:40:34Oh.

00:40:35Oh.

00:40:36Oh.

00:40:37Face-off coming up here, and Cheryl,

00:40:39let's see if they can keep that momentum going.

00:40:41No question about it, James.

00:40:43We know where the momentum lies right now

00:40:45after some sustained pressure, heavy pressure,

00:40:47heavy forecheck, lots of shots going to the net.

00:40:49The goaltender is fatigued.

00:40:51You want to make sure that you can continue to apply that pressure

00:40:53and see if you can speak one by.

00:40:57Stooped up along the wall by McTavish.

00:40:59Pittsburgh's looking to break out at their own end.

00:41:03Novak's got it across the wall.

00:41:05Anaheim's got possession at center.

00:41:09The Ducks carry it along the wall.

00:41:11Here's a chance.

00:41:13Oh, what a save in front.

00:41:15Well, the shooter's in a coveted spot on the ice,

00:41:17right in the middle of it with a good look,

00:41:19and he makes an incredible save by getting square to the puck

00:41:21and turning it aside.

00:41:27And that's hooked away.

00:41:29Take it along the wall by Heinen.

00:41:31The Penguins put it along the wing.

00:41:33Oh, the sliver!

00:41:35And it stays out.

00:41:37Castals dialed in and able to redirect that puck to the corner.

00:41:41Takes it into the slot.

00:41:43Big time saving goal as he gets out of it with the stick.

00:41:47Grabbed along the boards by Kreider.

00:41:49Feeds the puck to Femmstrom.

00:41:51Gains the zone through the middle.

00:41:53Pass to Trouba.

00:41:55Angles it over to Plum.

00:41:57Anaheim's on the attack.

00:41:59Loses the coverage there.

00:42:01The Penguins look to start the transition game.

00:42:03And a good use of the body to knock the puck loose.

00:42:05Oh, and he just gets a piece of it to keep it out.

00:42:07Moves it over to Radish.

00:42:09He carries the puck up along the wing.

00:42:11Moves it over to Rust.

00:42:13Rocks him.

00:42:15Directed over to Lacombe.

00:42:17Broken up in the neutral zone by Novak.

00:42:19And a good use of the body to knock the puck loose.

00:42:21Oh, he just gets a piece of it to keep it out.

00:42:23Moves it over to Radish.

00:42:25He carries the puck up along the wing.

00:42:27Moves it over to Rust.

00:42:29Rocks him.

00:42:31Directed over to Lacombe.

00:42:33Broken up in the neutral zone by Novak.

00:42:35Anaheim's got a hold of it against the wall.

00:42:37Gets the puck in deep.

00:42:39The Penguins take possession in the defensive end.

00:42:41People and fans complain that low-scoring games are boring.

00:42:43But not this one.

00:42:45There's been a lot of high-quality chances on both sides.

00:42:47It's been a very entertaining game.

00:42:49And a great scene.

00:42:51And they can take the ball.

00:42:53And they can take the ball.

00:42:55And they can take the ball.

00:42:57And they can take the ball.

00:42:59And they can take the ball.

00:43:01And they can take the ball.

00:43:02And they continue to fight for that puck around the wall.

00:43:06Here's a short pass to Trouba.

00:43:10Hitsburg's got the puck in center.

00:43:13Broken up with the stick in the defensive zone.

00:43:16Quinn's got it against the boards.

00:43:20Here's a shot.

00:43:21Score!

00:43:22Score!

00:43:23And how good does that feel?

00:43:26You can see the selling.

00:43:28The energy is certainly there.

00:43:30And now it's about dictating the pace going forward.

00:43:32Net shift.

00:43:33Critically important.

00:43:36I love watching this replay, James.

00:43:37Because this is a second effort.

00:43:39I mean, you're getting shoved.

00:43:40You're getting jostled.

00:43:41You never know what the defender is going to throw at you.

00:43:43But you can handle and control your effort.

00:43:45And execute that with skills.

00:43:47And a goal is the result of it.

00:43:49But I like the will on this play to maintain possession.

00:43:52Situation critical as we approach the final minute of the third.

00:43:58Moving into the attacking zone.

00:44:00Gets a piece of it with the blocker.

00:44:02Takes the puck along the boards.

00:44:04And it comes off one of his teammates in front.

00:44:09Tries to the page!

00:44:1146 seconds left.

00:44:13Redirected off one of his own lineman's goal.

00:44:16Hits the goalie's on the bench.

00:44:18The extra attacker has jumped into the play.

00:44:21Anaheim's grabbed a hold of the puck.

00:44:24Quick feed to Radish.

00:44:26And now he passes up to Quinn.

00:44:28Just a little too much contact and couldn't hang on to the puck.

00:44:32Sends the pass over.

00:44:35Here they come on the attack.

00:44:38Oh, a true warrior to block that.

00:44:41Poked away in the defensive end.

00:44:44Quinn's got the puck along the wing.

00:44:47Leading in the game up 5-1.

00:44:50Just have the presence of mind to kill the puck.

00:44:52Put the puck in deep.

00:44:54A chance.

00:44:56Scores!

00:44:57Into the empty net!

00:44:59This was right in my pillow, James.

00:45:01These were the type of moments that I played in.

00:45:03And everyone can take a breath down.

00:45:05But the insurance marker has hit the 4x6.

00:45:10Because that empty net goal ran in.

00:45:12Everyone on the bench and on the ice knew that that put the game to bed.

00:45:17The Ducks may have found the insurance marker they needed on that last empty netter there, Sheriff.

00:45:22Outside of a major hiccup.

00:45:24That should be it, James.

00:45:25That should seal the deal.

00:45:26That lead should get the win.

00:45:27There's the final horn and that'll do it here this evening.

00:45:32And you can chalk up another victory for a team that has gone to the long run.

00:45:39And you can also find the key that is close to all technically most of all levels.

00:45:40It was just a completeğer.

00:45:41And you can't see the judas in there.

00:45:42You have to wait in the 60's and hold the pin.

00:45:43If you have to leave the game, it's not really good.

00:45:44You have to wait in the boot stream.

00:45:45You have to wait.

00:45:47You have to wait.

00:45:48You have to wait.

00:45:49I have to wait in the deck.

00:45:50You have to wait.

00:45:51I have to wait for the game.

00:45:54I have to wait a second.

00:49:07I'll do that with a reactionary save.

00:49:09Head up along the boards.

00:49:14Picked up along the wall by Orlong.

00:49:16Tries to feed it over to Gostaspair.

00:49:19Gained momentum up along the side.

00:49:22And makes the routine save.

00:49:24Slides it up to Quinn.

00:49:26On the attack along the boards.

00:49:29Oh!

00:49:31Oh, a quick save!

00:49:33It's amazing to me how he always looks like he's in the right position

00:49:36because he tracks and reads the play so well.

00:49:38And this time he gets in front of the puck that's right in the middle of the ice

00:49:41as the shooter's got a dangerous opportunity.

00:49:43And the puck to Carson is gone.

00:49:46Kicks off the coverage.

00:49:48Moves it to Hall.

00:49:51And makes the save.

00:49:54Good, solid check and he loses control of it.

00:50:09We haven't even hit the midway mark of the period.

00:50:12Carolina's up, one zip.

00:50:14Puck is dropping.

00:50:15He wins the draw here in the defensive zone.

00:50:20Moves it on over to Radish.

00:50:23Here's a shot!

00:50:24And the puck dies with the Trapper save.

00:50:27Past the halfway mark of this period.

00:50:28We've got a 1-0 hockey game this fall.

00:50:30McTavish has had the face off here in the offensive zone.

00:50:33The line is crystal.

00:50:34And we're all in time.

00:50:35Yeah we are James.

00:50:36And you can certainly feel them coming, couldn't you?

00:50:39I mean the energy was starting to shift.

00:50:40And they get rewarded with that goal.

00:50:42Well the entire bench loves this one.

00:50:43I mean not only does he score the goal, but he wins the battle that allows him to gain possession

00:50:49of this puck.

00:50:50I mean it is a fight.

00:50:51It is complete level that gets this goal.

00:50:55And they get rewarded with that goal.

00:50:58The entire bench loves this one.

00:51:00I mean, not only does he score the goal,

00:51:03but he wins the battle that allows him to gain possession of this buck.

00:51:06I mean, it is a fight.

00:51:08It is a complete level that gets this goal.

00:51:21And I'm seeing things up here in the back half of the first.

00:51:24Well, yeah, they're more connected right now, James.

00:51:26I felt like they started the period, they were back on their heels,

00:51:29and they couldn't get out of their zone with any type of continuity.

00:51:31Well, now they've kind of righted the ship right now.

00:51:34They're in their rhythm, and they've got back to an equal score.

00:51:37Oh, we'll get some tired defenders as icing is the call.

00:51:40Quinn's playing with such confidence right now,

00:51:42and he's got this point streak going.

00:51:44And when that's happening for you,

00:51:45you're having a ton of fun putting up the points.

00:51:48Both teams are set.

00:51:49They're ready to drop the puck.

00:51:51The Hurricanes hit right off on the attack after winning the draw.

00:51:54Ozone face-off, James.

00:51:56Critical time to gain possession with that clean win,

00:51:58and the tired group, they get that puck moving around

00:52:01and a real opportunity on net.

00:52:03Covers it up.

00:52:04We'll get a stoppage in play.

00:52:05We'll get a stoppage in play.

00:52:06Carolina's got a hold of the puck.

00:52:20Slides it diagonally to Martinik.

00:52:24Puck dumped in.

00:52:26The Ducks scoop it up along the boards.

00:52:29Quick pass across to Selwiger.

00:52:30And a stick in the lane deflects that one away.

00:52:34A spirited battle along the boards for the puck.

00:52:37Great heads-up play in the neutral zone by Kotkaniemi.

00:52:42Pucks it up there.

00:52:43Makes a save.

00:52:45Picked up along the boards by Quinn.

00:52:47Gets the puck over to McTavish.

00:52:50Takes a shot.

00:52:52And a strong physical collision on the play there.

00:52:55Can't stay on his feet after that hit.

00:52:57Anaheim's got possession of the puck.

00:53:03Into the offensive end now.

00:53:06Anaheim's got the puck inside the defensive zone.

00:53:10Carey's gonna play against the half wall.

00:53:13And too much traffic in front blocks that one.

00:53:16Blocks sailing.

00:53:17We got a whistle as the puck's frozen.

00:53:20Passed the midway mark of the frame.

00:53:27We are all tied up in this one.

00:53:35Carolina's won the draw.

00:53:37Moussa quickly over to Slayton.

00:53:47Works the cross to McTavish.

00:53:49And now he tries to get it across to Radish.

00:53:54Nearing the final 60 seconds here this first period.

00:53:59Loses possession after he takes a little hit.

00:54:04The hurricane-stained possession along the wall.

00:54:08Roslevic's got the puck in his own zone.

00:54:12Pucks into the plate.

00:54:14One save made by Dostal.

00:54:15That's an incredible save, James.

00:54:18I mean, he's got presence in his crease.

00:54:20And he's also got a great glove hand.

00:54:21And he shows it right there with that save.

00:54:25And tries to make a diagonal pass to Blake.

00:54:30Sharp!

00:54:30Too much congestion in front.

00:54:35There's the buzzer.

00:54:36Fans seem to enjoy that first 20 minutes.

00:54:39We'll get to the second period right after both teams get a chance to catch their breath.

00:54:42Stick around.

00:54:43The good old days of hockey are back.

00:54:47Vintage jerseys are now available at kiosks throughout the arena and at our main store.

00:54:52Pick yours up before their history again.

00:54:55And the opening face-off here in period number two is about set.

00:55:16You can tell we're in for a good one because almost every fan is in their seats here as we are still tied with the second getting underway.

00:55:26All right, Pounder, put your analyst hat on here.

00:55:29We've played already a period.

00:55:30What do you make of this one?

00:55:31The Ducks need to step up offensively and more confidence with the puck, James.

00:55:35They're really not entering with any conviction.

00:55:37And they're staying on the perimeter.

00:55:38The minority of shots.

00:55:40And they're lucky.

00:55:40They're real lucky that this game is still tied.

00:55:42Anaheim's got a hold of it along the wall.

00:55:48And some fancy footwork to kick it over to his teammate.

00:55:51Oh, a clutch!

00:55:53They've scored!

00:55:55A clutch goal gets the ball in.

00:55:58Well, it's very timely, isn't it, James?

00:56:00To give him the lead and also the confidence that they've shown these past few shifts led to that opportunity.

00:56:06Well, anytime you're in the slot area, you know that you're not going to have much time.

00:56:10That's by a quick wrister to the net.

00:56:12He can often do the damage.

00:56:14It's buried.

00:56:23The Ducks, with their hard work and tenacity, have taken a one-goal lead here in the second.

00:56:28It's certainly better to play with the lead, James.

00:56:30But you know that there's a lot of one-way left.

00:56:32And your opponent is going to come pushing and pressing.

00:56:34This game has been tight all the way around.

00:56:36And I expect that it will continue to be.

00:56:39Anaheim's got control of it now from the road in.

00:56:41Here they come on the attack.

00:56:46Shot!

00:56:46Big-time stop!

00:56:48Snaps one from the slot!

00:56:50Park is frozen, and we get a stoppage in play.

00:56:53Let's go, Park!

00:56:57Lots of time left in this period.

00:56:59The Ducks have taken the lead here over the last few minutes.

00:57:02They'd love to build on it.

00:57:04Let's go, Park!

00:57:05And they take possession here in the offensive zone.

00:57:09And time to go on the attack.

00:57:11Stooped up along the wall by the ref.

00:57:15From the point, looks to make something happen.

00:57:17And now it's grabbed by Flynn.

00:57:19And he gets just enough to keep it out.

00:57:23Takes it to the front.

00:57:24Oh, it stays out as he gets a piece of that one.

00:57:28The shot comes in the middle of the ice, and he'll hit out some heat on it.

00:57:31But he's ready and waiting for it.

00:57:33He's to position, and he makes the save.

00:57:34Carolina's got the puck against the half wall.

00:57:41Grabbed along the board.

00:57:42Puts it off the huge side of the iron!

00:57:50Plenty of playing time left in this frame.

00:57:53Anaheim's got a slim lead.

00:57:54They lead it 2-1.

00:57:59The Hurricanes will go to work here in the offensive zone.

00:58:02Can't hang on to the puck after taking a knock.

00:58:07Sends it in deep.

00:58:10Knocks the puck loose after a solid hit.

00:58:23Nice poke check inside the attacking zone.

00:58:26Dostal's gonna hang on for a whistle,

00:58:28and staying focused is key when you haven't seen a lot of work here.

00:58:32Well, part of their mental preparation as a goaltender,

00:58:34even when you're not busy, you have to stay dialed in,

00:58:36follow the action.

00:58:37He's doing exactly that, and he makes a nice cover.

00:58:42Anaheim's got the win off that draw.

00:58:45And they get some breathing room as the puck leaves the defensive end.

00:58:50The Hurricanes gain control of the puck.

00:58:52Quick pass to Rosleman.

00:58:56Quick shot!

00:58:57Stopped by the goaltender.

00:58:59Dostal is able to make that save look easy.

00:59:02James, it's because he gets to the top of his crease,

00:59:04he cuts down his angles,

00:59:05and then he can redirect it to safety.

00:59:08And they clear the puck.

00:59:10Into the middle of the neutral zone.

00:59:12Here's a short pass to Rosleman.

00:59:14With Dostal.

00:59:16Quinn's moving the puck through his own zone.

00:59:19Slides it across to Luno.

00:59:22Here's a shot!

00:59:23Gets in front of it.

00:59:25Carolina's got the puck along the boards.

00:59:29And now it's over to Stankoven.

00:59:32Broken up at center.

00:59:36Anaheim's got the puck in the corner.

00:59:38Slides just to check.

00:59:40Shots him down.

00:59:41Oh, these are the saves,

00:59:43and you know that your goaltender is dialed in, James.

00:59:45The ability to get to the top of the crease

00:59:47and be square to the shooter,

00:59:48that's a great save.

00:59:50Streaking into the attacking zone for the right.

00:59:52Sends it in on the attack.

00:59:55Quick feed to Stankoven.

00:59:57And now he moves it to Ajo.

01:00:00Takes the shot.

01:00:01Good night!

01:00:02He got all of it!

01:00:04Trying to get it out of the road end.

01:00:06And they get the puck out of the zone,

01:00:08and that's a break for the squad.

01:00:09Oh, yeah, this PK unit,

01:00:12they're out there for a reason, James.

01:00:13You have to be able to clear the puck,

01:00:15and it's easier said than done,

01:00:16but they make no mistake this time.

01:00:18And it gets a little too well!

01:00:21Just fantastic work by the goaltender

01:00:23making consecutive saves.

01:00:24How athletic!

01:00:28Gets a hold of the puck here at his own end.

01:00:30Nice feed from the right wing.

01:00:43And that one's picked off!

01:00:49Now into the offensive zone from the right side.

01:00:52Fires it on it!

01:00:54Oh, how did he get a piece of that?

01:00:56Oh, some strong physicality on the play.

01:01:00And there's the save.

01:01:02Takes it along the way by McTavish.

01:01:05Oh, spectacular save on the play!

01:01:08No serve!

01:01:10Oh, man, he's so dialed in,

01:01:11makes consecutive saves there,

01:01:13and keeps his team in it.

01:01:14Big stop right there!

01:01:16Anaheim's regained possession of the puck.

01:01:22Good standing up here!

01:01:24Oh, and he somehow got a little piece of it,

01:01:28and it stays out of an end.

01:01:30The Hurricanes picked up steam

01:01:32and are on the attack.

01:01:34Angus, a little bit to Slavin.

01:01:36Locked, and he may have just stopped the goal!

01:01:38I think he did, James.

01:01:39I mean, you gotta protect the house,

01:01:41especially when it's a great threat shot like that,

01:01:43and he finds a way to get in front of that end quick.

01:01:45Huck stooped up by Slavin.

01:01:50And now he passes it to Marknick.

01:01:53Straight up the middle.

01:01:54Here they come.

01:02:05There it is.

01:02:05That's a wrap for period number two.

01:02:07Both teams will get a chance

01:02:08to get a little breather here,

01:02:10and we'll come back.

01:02:11Third period action next.

01:02:12Let's go, fans.

01:02:15For tonight, all team jerseys are 15% off regular price.

01:02:20With the presentation of your ticket stuff,

01:02:22get yours before they're all gone.

01:02:28Opening faceoff for period number three is ready to go.

01:02:31We're still in the early stages of this period.

01:02:46We've got a 2-1 game.

01:02:51The Ducks take control of the faceoff.

01:02:54Takes it and looks ahead.

01:02:56And the line is clogged up blocking that.

01:03:04Moves inside.

01:03:06Denies him.

01:03:07It really is amazing to watch him

01:03:09maintain possession of this puck

01:03:10while his opponent is on.

01:03:12And I mean, they're pushing him, they're shopping.

01:03:13They're doing everything they can.

01:03:15But he's resilient.

01:03:16He's got a willingness to his game.

01:03:17But he's also got power.

01:03:19Power.

01:03:19You can see at this lower half

01:03:21and the balance and coordination it takes

01:03:22to get this puck to the net.

01:03:24Quick snap.

01:03:25Oh, what a save in front.

01:03:27This is a really nice save, James.

01:03:29I mean, the shooter's in the middle of the ice

01:03:30is in this wide area.

01:03:32He's got to get to the top of the crease,

01:03:33square with a puck.

01:03:34Oh!

01:03:34How did that stay?

01:03:35Yeah, and it goes early inside of the post.

01:03:40Inside the offensive zone.

01:03:44Swing and a miss.

01:03:46Carolina's got the puck.

01:03:48Through the middle of the ice,

01:03:50they enter the attacking zone.

01:03:52And now it's stopped.

01:03:54The Ducks will play for the defensive zone.

01:03:57Ditched on over to Kriber.

01:03:59Presses it over.

01:04:05Pushes it across to Blake.

01:04:10Across the line.

01:04:12He's had a lot of offensive zone possession time,

01:04:15and you've got to figure he knows

01:04:16he's one goal away from his next milestone.

01:04:19Puck is frozen, and we'll get a faceoff.

01:04:22Chicago's coming up next on the schedule.

01:04:24Get your tickets.

01:04:25It should be a good time.

01:04:27Getting closer to the halfway point of this frame.

01:04:30It's 2-1.

01:04:322-1.

01:04:32The Hurricanes take possession here

01:04:37inside the offensive zone.

01:04:39Feeds the puck up to Quinn.

01:04:42The Ducks take it across the line.

01:04:44Toss up the puck after that hit.

01:04:47Here's a summary pass.

01:04:48He scores!

01:04:49What a play!

01:04:51A lack of coverage here,

01:05:02and as a result,

01:05:03there is a goal scored against some James,

01:05:05but it's all about wandering

01:05:06inside the middle of the ice.

01:05:08You know that you always have to protect the middle.

01:05:10You want to make sure

01:05:10that you're only giving up perimeter shots,

01:05:12but because of that lack of coverage,

01:05:14they expose the middle of the ice.

01:05:15The Ducks have to be feeling good

01:05:20about the position they're in

01:05:21down the stretch now, Cheryl.

01:05:23I'd take a two-goal lead

01:05:24at the back half of the third period

01:05:26any day of the week, James.

01:05:27It's just about closing it out now,

01:05:29and that comes down to managing the puck

01:05:31and limiting any turnovers.

01:05:32Right to the center

01:05:35and into the offensive zone.

01:05:37Briggs looking to complete the hat trick.

01:05:39He's got two in the game.

01:05:40He's looking for his third.

01:05:42And a great save!

01:05:44Koczekov's giving his team

01:05:45an opportunity to stay in the game.

01:05:47One save after another.

01:05:48He has to win under siege.

01:05:50I mean, the save percentage says it all.

01:05:52They have to shore up their defense

01:05:53and stop chasing the game.

01:05:55Good save!

01:05:57Carolina's got a hold of the puck now.

01:05:59On the attack, they come down the right wing.

01:06:06The Hurricanes have it from their own end.

01:06:09Carolina's looking to break out.

01:06:12They go on the attack through center.

01:06:14Puck picked up by Terry.

01:06:17Anna hives across the blue line.

01:06:19Here's the pass that throws!

01:06:21What a chance, but that goes off target

01:06:23off a body in front.

01:06:27Puck grabbed by Svechnikov.

01:06:29Passes it to McTavish.

01:06:43Can't maintain possession.

01:06:46Musa took off to spare.

01:06:48Makes the save!

01:06:53Sederator's got control of it now

01:06:55behind the cage.

01:06:57Musa quickly over to Quinn.

01:06:58Oh, you don't practice that one in goalies, Justin's James.

01:07:07You just have to have fight and compete

01:07:08to get to that puck.

01:07:09He has all of it.

01:07:10He makes the save.

01:07:11Could have been a fantastic save

01:07:13from a high-danger scoring area, James.

01:07:15I mean, he's bailing his team out.

01:07:16They have to do a better job

01:07:17of protecting the middle of the ice.

01:07:20Musa!

01:07:50Would you like to take on the ball

01:07:53if it could have way toage it.

01:07:55Angela, that's Apollo 11.

01:07:55I gotta say he had ne pat Raea,

01:07:56does it lay down on the ice.

01:07:57It tried to manage.

01:07:57I gotta run for it to eva.
