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.

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!

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!

The #sjsharks are getting some bounces and ref calls and still come home for Game 5 tied 2-2. Yes, being lucky is kind of what you have to have to win the Cup. But you also have to play well, and Team Teal continues to be a bit…inconsistent. Regardless, here’s to more bounces and bad ref calls going our way!

Go Sharks!

The #sjsharks are somehow moving on to the Western Conference Final and, who knows, maybe this is just how they are going to win the Cup: getting beneficial (not wrong) calls from the refs every step of the way. After 25+ years of heartbreak and disappointment, I am here for tragedy getting spread around to teams like Vegas and Colorado, for sure. After recapping the 2nd round, we do talk about what to expect next, which is to say…who the hell knows.

Go #sjsharks!

Also, for game 5:

Captain America died so that the #sjsharks could move to round 2. We talk about the team’s encouraging comeback from a 3-1 series deficit to bid Knighty Night to the plucky but stupid team from Vegas and what to expect from the matchup with another team with 1 good line and a hot goalie. Spoilers: We have no f’ing idea. First game is Friday.

Go Sharks!

It’s our playoff predictions podcast! Yeah, the #sjsharks have one more regular season game, but who cares? The matchup is set and it’s time for Pete DuhBoer to accelerate head on into a 40-car pileup (i.e. to get out-coached at every turn by Gerard Gallant while VGK players ignore Micheal Haley’s desperate attempts at relevancy).

But hey, Vegas kinda sucks right now, so maybe we’ll still be podcasting for a few weeks. Go Sharks!
