GM Mike Grier loves himself some replacement-level players so we have to wonder: how many Luke Kunins will the #sjsharks add in the Erik Karlsson and Timo Meier trades that are shaping up. 5? 6? A whole new AHL team’s worth of mediocrity? Alex and Ben discuss.

The trio is back together to talk about the Nieto/Merkley trade and the rumors swirling around Logan Couture and Timo Meier. What should the #sjsharks do? We discuss!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
