Scott Hannan had a long and successful career in the NHL, starting in 1998 with the Sharks, and also ending with San Jose for a second tour from 2013-2015. This season he'll begin a new role, joining our Pre & Postgame coverage from the studio. I wanted to pick his brain about several Sharks topics, including:

- relying on more younger players this season

- the intimidation factor coming off a long playoff run

- the potential of strategically resting Joe Thornton

- Logan Couture as the new captain

- a healthy Erik Karlsson as the x-factor

The Oakland A's are coming down the stretch of what is a 162 game marathon. Can they get back to 97 wins? Who would start their Wild Card game? Who is Oakland's MVP this season? And how much different are the A's chances if they could get to the ALDS?

In what should be a surprise to nobody, Joe Thornton has signed a 1-year contract in San Jose. This comes just 2 days after the Sharks and Patrick Marleau each confirmed the two sides would not be coming to an agreement. All that discussed plus the additions of Kendall Coyne Schofield and Scott Hannan to our broadcasts this season, and why "pausing" your pro sports career is perfectly acceptable.

It's not HOW Tommy Thompson of the San Jose Earthquakes learned Spanish in 6 months which is impressive. It is WHY he chose to learn a second language during the course of this season. Here is our conversation on that subject, and more.

Despite back to back walk-off losses, the A's still went 4-2 against the Yankees this season, and could have realistically won all 6 games. In a New York weekend with a sour taste, there are plenty of good items on Oakland's radar: including some call-ups, the return of Sean Manaea, and the hope for a group which still likely has 'another gear' in store.
