Listen Later

The San Jose Sharks have started another season on a long losing streak: Is head coach Ryan Warsofsky facing some pressure?

San Jose Sharks legend Dan Boyle, insider Sheng Peng, prospects guru Keegan McNally, and Sharks Ice beer league champ Zubair Jeewanjee discuss the team’s 0-4-2 start.

We discuss Warsofsky’s work with the San Jose Sharks’ veterans and youngsters. Is Macklin Celebrini rounding into form? What do we think about Michael Misa and Sam Dickinson so far?

Hockey tactics guru Jack Han jumps on, and shares his thoughts about the importance of coaching continuity and the dangers of rushing young defensemen.
