Blood, Sweat, & Teal: A Fear the Fin Podcast

This week is a very special episode. We host Sharks radio broadcaster Dan Rusanowsky to talk about his new book If These Walls Could Talk: San Jose Sharks. Dan talks us through several of the stories featured in the book, as well as his broadcaster career and the history of the Sharks for an incredible insider look at the team.

Following the interview, it’s business as usual, with one small caveat: Sie’s audio got goofed up. Apologies for that. Also this is episode 12. Episode 11 is coming out of order — we told y’all things would get weird around the holidays.

We went to hit record this week and Dylan Strome was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks, so that’s the whole episode.

Just kidding, we eventually get to Sie versus Pete DeBoer once again and answer a crop of fantastic questions including a round of FMK, intense would-you-rathers and a plethora of useless numbers regarding our favorite boys in teal.

This week’s super-sized episode comes in late because it’s the holidays and your questions sent us into overtime. Just note that it was recorded prior to last night’s meeting with the Edmonton Oilers.

When we weren’t busy talking about our favorite topic (yes, the international holiday food debate returns for a third time), we talk about the retirement of San Jose Barracuda Legend Paul Martin, Joe Pavelski’s future with the San Jose Sharks and whether or not Marcus Sorensen is just smoke and mirrors. We learn something that makes us backtrack on our previous coaching critiques and we find out our biggest fan is just a Melnyk Twitter bot.

Oh yeah, and some guy named Erik Karlsson scored a goal? So I guess we talk about that, too.

In this week’s episode, we realized we forgot about an entire game last week, muse about where Joel Quenneville might land and get down to the real reason the Sharks drafted Josh Norris (thank you, Doctor Strange). We finally get to do the Senators Check we’ve been waiting all week for and really, everything spirals from there.

As always, we look at last week’s games and preview the upcoming week with point predictions, an Aaron Dell watch and bold predictions that are both too bold and too real.

We recorded this episode of Blood, Sweat, & Teal right after the news about the Kings broke, so here’s an extended Los Angeles Kings heat check, which led to looking at the state of other bad teams in the NHL. We also talk about the Sharks’ coaching decisions, future roster decisions and...High School Musical? Important questions get answered, like which match up of two teams would make you turn down an invite to a hockey game?

As always, we preview the upcoming slate of games with an Aaron Dell watch and bold predictions and check in on the Ottawa Senators — which, regrettably happened before the absolute best video of the Ottawa Former Sharks leaked. We’ll grab that next week.

In our maddest and sleepiest episode yet, Kyle manages to play good cop to Sie’s bad cop as they take on those pesky Erik Karlsson talks that spread through Sharks Territory.

That takes up most of the episode, where we also discuss the value of statistics versus the eye test and what is means when those things don’t line up. We recap the last week of Sharks news, check in on our bold predictions, make some new ones, and answer your questions!

It might not be our funniest episode ever, but to our credit — we’re still pretty mad right now. Sorry for the catheter talk, that was gross.

In an extended episode (thanks Kyle), we take our time to really stew in how good it feels to win hockey games.

Talking points include: Should the Islanders be allowed to commit murder? What is a slew foot and did Brent Burns do one? How long can the Senators’ luck run and how good were their Halloween costumes? Did Logan Couture tweeting a porn link that one time scare all of the Sharks off of social media? And as always, we recap this week’s games and make predictions about the week to come.

There is a discussion of sexual assault in this episode. The time stamp is from 53:22 — 107:27, should you feel the need to skip over it.

Kyle did a bad and messed up the recording of a very good and funny episode. Here's a not very good or funny recap of an episode that is forever gone, along with our bold predictions. We understand if you skip this one. We'll be back next week.

Kyle ditched us to spend the holiday with his family and Joe Thornton got put on injured reserve. I’m not saying they’re related but it’s enough to make me suspicious.

With Erik Fowle filling in, we answer some questions about fancy stats and what to do without Jumbo Joe Thornton in the lineup. We look at last week’s games and vent our frustrations about how the Sharks are #ActuallyGood, just incredible unlucky. The bold predictions are back with a brand new point system and we start checking in on the Ottawa Senators, since they’re basically a Sharks B....uhhhhh C-squad now.

It’s a mailbag special and we recorded it at the sweet hours of too-far-after-midnight!

We answer your questions, such as power forwards: how do they work? and who among us can grow a good mustache? We talk a lot about our boy Tim Heed and Kyle explains Canada and his favorite Sharks. Bonus talk about Owen Nolan conspiracy theories. It was late, we were tired, and for some reason, we thought an extra long episode was a good idea.
