So, thanks to an OS upgrade, we had to record the podcast in an entirely new, ad-hoc way this week. Hope that our conversations about the genius of GMMG’s intentional tank job come through loud and clear for you all.
CTC Podcast 193 – Dirtl Hertl
The #sjsharks are still bad, but this week added two little twists: the season-ending injury to Luke Kunin and the suspension of Tomas “Babe Ruth” Hertl for taking a swing at a dude’s head with his stick. Alex and Ben talk about that and why Ben has decided that the team in teal should bring back Micheal Haley, John Scott, and Mike Brown. #tealtankathon #bombhardforbedard #futilityforfantilli
CTC Podcast 192 – Matt Nieto, Superstar
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.
CTC Podcast 191 – Ups and Downs
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.
CTC Podcast 190 – Fun Tanking?
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.
CTC Podcast 189 – Should We Be Encouraged?
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.
CTC Podcast 188 – It’s Not Getting Better Than This
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 more.
CTC Podcast 187 – European Vacation
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 or so. Tune in each week to find out what we think.
CTC Podcast 186 – A New Era Approacheth
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.
CTC Podcast 185 – The King is Dead. Long Live the King
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.
