This week in Ducks talk

The shows spent the week checking in on the Ducks as a bubble team in a weak conference, with one host noting their defensive struggles compared to Seattle's recent form. There was some talk about Leo Carlsson's matchup against his former team in Philadelphia, with the hosts predicting how the Flyers crowd might react to him. The Ducks also got a mention as part of the Tuesday night slate, though it wasn't the main draw.
