Circling the Cup » Podcasts

It’s the podcast episode you’ve all been waiting for. Alex and Ben talk about Matt Nieto’s career two weeks and what it means for the Sharks going forward. Spoiler alert: not much in the slightest.

Erik Karlsson is playing out of his mind right now. When that coincides with the forwards scoring it makes for some fun, and sometimes winning, hockey. When they aren’t…oof. We talk about all this and more in this week’s podcast.

The band is back together this week, as Alex, Ben, and Colin talk about this suddenly offensively dangerous bad team that has developed. Sustainable? Listen and see.

The Sharks won a game! Actually, after we recorded this podcast they won a second game (against a very bad team). Should we be encouraged by these stunning developments? Ben and Alex discuss why it might not be yet time to get off the Tank Train.

0-4-0. 0 points. You couldn’t tank harder if you tried. So, what comes next? How does David Quinn attempt to polish the turd that has been handed to him by GMMG? We now hope it doesn’t involve calling up the young guys, because the big team is BAD. Alex, Ben, and Colin discuss this and […]

Well, that was not an inspiring beginning to the season, unless you are hoping the Sharks indulge in #dishonorforconnor. Alex, Ben, and Colin discuss a few bright spots, but also a whole lot of good old-fashined self-delusion going on within team management. It will be interesting to see what changes occur over the next month […]

OK, we admit it: the new threads ain’t half bad. The rest of the new era? Up in the air. Colin, Ben and Alex discuss the pre-season so far and what to expect from our team in teal.

GM Mike Grier is in the house. Lots of stuff has changed since the last time we podded. So, this 2 hour episode should catch you up on how *we* feel about things. It’s a ride. Enjoy.

We look back on the largely wasted 2021-2022 San Jose Sharks’ season but are cautiously optimistic about what comes next: a new GM, a new coach, and…development? Let’s hope.

Doug Wilson is stepping aside permanently! Doug’s tenure has lasted so long he was already GM when Ben became a Sharks fan. That’s a LONG time for anyone to be in charge. So, Ben, Alex, and Colin talk about Doug’s legacy and what we think comes next.
