Dudes On Hockey

The Sharks have one of the worst winning percentages in the league, but perhaps the best defenseman. The Dudes evaluate the partial season.

Four games in, and the Sharks haven’t won yet, or even made it to OT.

Sharks aren’t likely to make the playoffs, but who did the Dudes pick in the Vegas Draft?

The preseason has begun, and the Sharks are merely days away from the season opener. The Dudes talk Jumbo, Timo Meier, contracts, prospects, and possible parade routes.

The Sharks hired the coach that many predicted, former Rangers coach David Quinn. The Dudes talk about the pluses and potential minuses of this hire.

Not that the Dudes didn’t care, but the hiring of Mike Grier, the trading of Brent Burns, and the new direction of the franchise makes things more interesting.

The Stanley Cup playoffs are over, and the Sharks seem rudderless. The GM search continues with no end in sight, and the Dudes wonder where things will go next.

The Sharks trade Jake Middleton at the deadline, but make no other big moves.

The Sharks are not good, and trajectory of the team is uncertain. The Dudes weigh in on the Hertl signing and the direction of the franchise.

Evander Kane is gone from the Sharks forever, and the team is attempting to terminate his contract. What does this mean for the Sharks going forward, and Tomas Hertl in particular?

The Dudes are back after a long absence, and the Sharks are plugging along. Mike and Doug discuss the highlights, lowlights, and big questions still posed to the Sharks for this season.

The season is almost upon us, and the Dudes find some optimism, even though the Sharks might not be a playoff team.

The Sharks couldn’t do a major shakeup this offseason, but there are changes afoot. Martin Jones has been bought out, 2 veteran players added, a possible All-Star talent drafted, and an uncertain future for Evander Kane.

Mike wins the Vegas bet, and there are two important events for the Sharks in the next couple of weeks- the Kraken expansion draft and the amateur draft. What will the Sharks do?

Montreal and Tampa have made the Stanley Cup Final, and the Vegas bet is still on the line. The Dudes talk about that, and the Sharks’ historical performance in drafting 1st-round picks.

Statements from the GM and some players indicate they think the Sharks will be much better next season- the Dudes disagree. Also Mike and Doug preview the first round series of the 2021 playoffs.

The Sharks have lost eight straight, so the Dudes look to other topics. Also stay tuned for details on a live stream of the Coyotes game on 4/28.

The Sharks go from being somehow in the playoff hunt to repeatedly losing badly against the worst teams in the division.

The Sharks have won three in a row, and have a stretch of very winnable games against bottom-tier opponents coming up. Will they be a playoff team soon?

The Sharks take two off the of Kings, but drop two against the Coyotes. What should happen next in this lost season?
