CTC Podcast #107 – Four is the Angriest Number

The Sharks have given up at least 3 or 4 goals in each of their last 9 games. Coincidentally, they have only won 4 of their last 9 games. Most of this run of iffy results is down to poor goalie play and terrible coaching decisions. So, we wonder: Would the #sjsharks be better off with Coach Q, recently released by the Blackhawks? After considering that question, we also cover the 1-2-0 week that was. There’s anger. There’s recrimination. It’s just another early week in long season, in other words. Go Sharks!

CTC Podcast 106 – It’s Always #TimoTime Somewhere

Timo Meier has become something of a monster in the early part of this season. Whether he can maintain this pace is a huge question, but so far he might be the one unmitigated bright spot of the first #sjsharks 14 games. There’s been a lot of not so good stuff at the coaching level, so if that can change, Timo’s emergence is big sign of what could be coming for the team. Alex and Colin talk about Timo, the games, and DuhBoer, this week. Go Sharks!

CTC Podcast 105 – DuhBoer in Duh House

A week that started off rather well, with a prototype-style win over the Islanders at home and a come-from-behind victory over a very good #perds team IN Nashville ended with serious acrimony after some, let’s call it, questionable coaching decisions leading into playing a very, very good Carolina team. We talk about the not-so-great coaching we’ve seen from DuhBoer so far and the edgelord bs you might be hearing about Erik Karlsson being bad at hockey with the #sjsharks. Listen, enjoy, and GO SHARKS!

CTC Podcast 103 – Don’t Panic

Yes, Jumbo is hurt and out indefinitely with knee swelling (possibly an infection). Yes, the #sjsharks are only 2-2-1…but we kinda warned you that they’d have some trouble in the early going. That said, the #sjsharks are dominating the puck in ways that are predictive of future great success. Alex and Ben talk about all this and more, this week.

Podcast 102 -The Hertl Awakening

The #sjsharks are 1-1-0 after their first two games of the 2018-2019 season, but they’ve dominated both games against Pacific division rivals in a way that is quite encouraging. So why have they lost and then almost lost both games? Well, you can thank Brent Burns and Martin Jones for that. We talk about the highs and lows of the games so far, and what they mean for this season. Oh, yeah, also: that Goodrow contract.

CTC Podcast 100 – Too Many Karlssons

Now, one might think that you could never have too many Karlssons on a hockey team. Well, the #sjsharks are going to test that theory this year because they drafted a fine young man named Linus in Spring and then went and added THE BEST KARLSSON IN THE LEAGUE via trade with the WORST OWNERSHIP IN THE LEAGUE. In other words, the Sharks are better today and tomorrow, even if they don’t move NOTED 3RD KARLSSON, Melker some time in the near future. Mostly we talk about the Karlsson trade, but we cover other odds and ends in our 100th podcast. Enjoy and Go Sharks!

CTC Podcast 98 – The Season Retrospective

The San Jose Sharks were bounced from the playoffs by bad luck and poor coaching decisions, so now Ben and Alex get to talk about what’s next for Evander Kane, Joe Thornton, Tomas Hertl, Logan Couture and…John Tavares??? Anyway, there’s a lot in this week’s podcast, so have a listen, why don’t you? Go Sharks!
