Preseason is almost over. What have we learned about the #sjsharks? More importantly, what does that tell us about the season to come? Take a listen to find out!

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!

It’s been a long off-season, so Alex, Ben, and Colin have a TON to talk about. #TavaresWatch, the re-signings, the draft and the prospect game all get touched upon in this hour+ extravaganza. Now, we’ll see you all at Training Camp! Go Sharks!

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!

Pete DeBoer has been exposed in this series (even more so than he was last year when he ran a guy with no knee ligament into the ground in Game 6), outcoached by the fans and Gerard Gallant at almost every turn. Choosing not to ‘overthink’ thinks in regards to the great Martin/Ryan debate cost the Sharks a game, as did overthinking when to pull his goalie in Game 5. So here we are — with the Sharks need to win 2 straight against a probably superior team (certainly, at least, better in the coaching areas). Ben, Colin and Alex discuss this and more in our weekly podcast.

The #sjsharks are coming home with one win in two chances against Vegas, but they could have been down two games to nil. So there’s work to do. Ben and Colin talk about Colin’s perspective on the Ducks’ series and his thoughts about the Vegas series before jumping into one of the worst Sharks losses of all time and the HUGE win in game two. Where do things go from here? We have thoughts.

A sweep — a veritable sweep! The San Jose Sharks now get to sit and wait for the first round to conclude before traveling to Vegas to play the Golden Knights. And will apparently be big underdogs, it seems. Alex and Ben talk about how the Sharks and Knights reached the second round, the similarities in their play against bad Pacific Division teams in the first round, and what we expect from the second round series. We also talk about what happens to the Sharks lineup when Jumbo inevitably returns to the lineup some time soon. For now, everyone rests and gets healthier — just what the doctor literally ordered.
