This week, we vamp... errr... talk about lots of hockey stuff! The Ducks beat the Sharks, Erik Karlsson, Evander Kane, John Gibson, and Maxime Comtois look good, Martin Jones looks bad, but it's all early going. Also featured: the NHL's newest memer Patrik Laine, more Ottawa disasters, and a super early and not useful look at Ilya Kovalchuk.

Welcome to season 3 of Off the Coast! We're back, we're as rinky-dink as ever, and we're here to talk about hockey. On this episode, we talk about Ducks and Sharks preseasons, Erik Karlsson, Corey Perry's Knee, and then go into predictions on how the league and especially the Pacific will turn out. Oh and of course Gritty. Gritty is life, Gritty is love.

Penn does his best to stay reasonable about that ABSOLUTE SNAKE TAVARES, all while Joey does his best to trigger Penn. Also discussed: the rest of Free Agency, the Ducks loading up on borderline NHLers, and this podcast's plans for next season.

We look back fondly on Mike Hoffman’s tenure as a Shark, look ahead to openers next season, salivate over John Tavares and make some predictions on the upcoming (since passed) draft. Spoiler: we both got one name right, albeit with a couple guesses. Also discussed: Fighting in the NHL, prompted by a very insightful article from the Players Tribune.

Penn and Joey actually agree on something: thank god the Knights didn’t win the cup. Also on the docket: Ilya Kovalchuk, more bemoaning of Corey Perry’s contract, and possibly the weirdest story of the year, involving the Senators and cyberbullying. It’s a bad time to be a Senators fan...

As the Finals matchup that everybody saw coming gets underway, so too does the Ducks/Sharks offseason! This week, Joey and Penn discuss Ryan Kesler’s rehab, some coaching changes to the Ducks, and Evander Kane’s new contract before disappearing down the Dany Heatley rabbit hole (not a euphemism, I swear.)

Both California teams are now out, so at least the time of stress is over. Other than discussing the Sharks’ upcoming offseason, Joey and Penn talk about Snoop Dogg, Gary Bettman, Brad Marchand’s dexterous tongue, and… oh yeah, I guess the rest of the playoffs too.

Knights-Sharks is a nailbiter, Kevin Bieksa is going the dramatic breakup route, and Jeremy Roenick is a fool. Also discussed: the difference between Sidney Crosby and Bill Cosby, some more interesting tidbits from the

A tearful Joey eulogizes his team and discusses what he thinks the ducks need to do to prepare for the future. Meanwhile, Penn, oblivious to the impending game one beatdown, tries to hide his glee and remain realistic in his expectations for the Sharks’ playoff run.

Recorded pre-sweep, this episode covers games 1-2 as well as taking a look at the early portions of other series around the NHL. Penn’s voodoo curse proved stronger than Joey’s… this time.
