This week, the #sjsharks got wins over the two bad team, in the Chicago Blackhawks and the Minnesota Wild, while also losing big to the Vancouver Canucks, of all teams. So what does it all mean? There have been some lineup changes that might or might not mean a lot, right? The best NHL defensemen ever is back from his knee injury, or so we’re told. We discuss all this and more.

CTC Podcast 137 – Circling the Drain?
Maybe it’s not that bad yet, but the Sharks have had a very troubling week or so. What can they do? We discuss where the Sharks are and how long they probably have to figure things out before the season is lost.
CTC Podcast 136 – Reversal of Fortune
The #sjsharks are winning. Why now? Is it all thanks to Patrick Marleau? You might be inclined to think so. Also, will Vlasic be traded to Montreal? Tune in and find out.
CTC Podcast 135 – The MarleauCast
Patrick Marleau is back. We have a lot to say about everything that surrounds the decision to sign him for 1 year at 700k.
CTC Podcast 134 – Inmates Run Asylum
We’re 2 games into the 2019-2020 season and the #sjsharks look like literal crap. One could argue this is a combination of stupidity (Evander Kane) and free agency (Joonas Donskoi, Gustav Nyquist, and Joe Pavelski) depriving the team of needed talent. But that would be overlooking other major flaws and also that the new guys to the team have played better hockey than the guys that have been here a bit. Basically: fire Peter DuhBoer.
CTC Podcast 133 – Sense or Nonsense?
The preseason is still in progress, but we talk a bit about what Sharks fans have seen so far and which players have stood out to us. We also spend a little time on season predictions and generally carry on non-sensically. What do you want? It’s preseason.
Hopefully we figured out our audio level issues. Let us know if not!
CTC Podcast 132 – Preseason Answers? (Drive Time Mix)
UPDATE: This is a version of the podcast mix that should sound not terrible in your car or on your stereo, now.
We took questions from our loyal listeners over the last couple weeks, and after Alex gets in a starting rant, we rocked our way through them. With thanks to LisaH, AJCHEECHEW, Illuminado, East Coast Sharks Fan and Listener Dan, here is a podcast full of our predictions and 2019-2020 thoughts.
We haven’t nailed the audio levels with our new recording set up yet (thanks again Google for killing Hangouts on Air), so please bear with us while we are locking things in.

CTC Podcast 131 – Turnover
Joe Pavelski and Justin Braun, long-time #sjsharks, play for someone else now. Timo Meier is locked down til his UFA years and EK65 is now, arguably, overpaid. Joonas Donskoi is also over-paid, but not by the #sjsharks. Kevin Labanc is in limbo as of recording.
Colin and I spend 90 minutes talking about all this and a lot more offseason action. Go Sharks!
CTC Podcast 130 – Disappointment
Now that the 2018-2019 season is over, Colin, Alex, and Ben spend almost two hours talking about what happens next. There are a lot of UFAs and RFAs who the #sjsharks need to make decisions on, and we weigh in. It’s a hoot, we promise. Go Sharks!
