Circling the Cup » Podcasts

Optimism? In this economy? Well, kinda. The Sharks are still bad, it’s just that there’s starting to appear to be a light at the end of that tunnel. Alex, Ben, and Colin discuss the last month of Sharks hockey, and where the team is somewhat better than last year’s. Also, stay tuned for an outtake at the end of the podcast.

Since Colin and Ben were denied access to Sharks pre-season by their bullshit geo-locking, our first podcast of the season is also a preview of sorts. Alex, Colin, and Ben discuss Celebrini’s outstanding debut, his injury, Ecklund’s growth, and more!

First, apologies for the early sound issues in this podcast. Restream told me it was using a specific mic input when it wasn’t. So you get to hear me make coffee while Alex tries to monologue. Oops. But we fixed that eventually. After that we talked at length about the draft, the Warsy hire, free agency, and the prospect scrimmage. Enjoy!

The San Jose Sharks actually won the draft lottery and have a shot at an elite talent. What has this world come to? Alex, Ben, and Colin discuss the far-reaching repercussions to the rebuild of this unusually fortunate event.

Alex, Ben, and Colin get together to talk about the end of this terrible year of #sjsharks hockey, having two draft picks in the top 15, the firing of a bad coach, the keeping of a different bad coach, and more.

Alex and Ben recap the #sjsharks bummer of a trade deadline. It didn’t have to be this way!

The trio is back. Are back? I dunno, English is hard. But Ben, Alex, and Colin are here to talk about the last couple weeks of San Jose Sharks…not exactly, futility, but…well. Couture is back. That’s a thing, we guess. Enjoy.

Alex, Ben, and Colin talk about whether this losing streak is all that different from the last extended one the Sharks experienced. What’s to blame? Is it even a bad thing? Tank, Sharks, tank.

Alex and Ben talk about that road trip and how Justin Bailey is a perfect fit for this team right now: lucky and not very good at hockey. Also, Eklund is playing his behind off. All this and more.

The #sjsharks had a nice run of sorts post-Thanksgiving. It’s a mirage. Alex, Ben, and Colin discuss.
