BST 2x12: If These Walls Could Talk (featuring Dan Rusanowsky)
This week is a very special episode. We host Sharks radio broadcaster Dan Rusanowsky to talk about his new book If These Walls Could Talk: San Jose Sharks. Dan talks us through several of the stories featured in the book, as well as his broadcaster career and the history of the Sharks for an incredible insider look at the team.

Following the interview, it’s business as usual, with one small caveat: Sie’s audio got goofed up. Apologies for that. Also this is episode 12. Episode 11 is coming out of order — we told y’all things would get weird around the holidays.
For the as mentioned in this episode, visit Fear the Fin.

BST 2x10: The Most Useless Stat
We went to hit record this week and Dylan Strome was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks, so that’s the whole episode.
Just kidding, we eventually get to Sie versus Pete DeBoer once again and answer a crop of fantastic questions including a round of FMK, intense would-you-rathers and a plethora of useless numbers regarding our favorite boys in teal.

BST 2x09: Keep Calm and Pete On
This week’s super-sized episode comes in late because it’s the holidays and your questions sent us into overtime. Just note that it was recorded prior to last night’s meeting with the Edmonton Oilers.
When we weren’t busy talking about our favorite topic (yes, the international holiday food debate returns for a third time), we talk about the retirement of San Jose Barracuda Legend Paul Martin, Joe Pavelski’s future with the San Jose Sharks and whether or not Marcus Sorensen is just smoke and mirrors. We learn something that makes us backtrack on our previous coaching critiques and we find out our biggest fan is just a Melnyk Twitter bot.
Oh yeah, and some guy named Erik Karlsson scored a goal? So I guess we talk about that, too.

BST 2x08: To Be a Driver in That Uber
In this week’s episode, we realized we forgot about an entire game last week, muse about where Joel Quenneville might land and get down to the real reason the Sharks drafted Josh Norris (thank you, Doctor Strange). We finally get to do the Senators Check we’ve been waiting all week for and really, everything spirals from there.
As always, we look at last week’s games and preview the upcoming week with point predictions, an Aaron Dell watch and bold predictions that are both too bold and too real.

BST 2x07: A Whole New Ball of Yarn
We recorded this episode of Blood, Sweat, & Teal right after the news about the Kings broke, so here’s an extended Los Angeles Kings heat check, which led to looking at the state of other bad teams in the NHL. We also talk about the Sharks’ coaching decisions, future roster decisions and...High School Musical? Important questions get answered, like which match up of two teams would make you turn down an invite to a hockey game?
As always, we preview the upcoming slate of games with an Aaron Dell watch and bold predictions and check in on the Ottawa Senators — which, regrettably happened before the absolute best video of the Ottawa Former Sharks leaked. We’ll grab that next week.

BST 2x06: The Erik Karlsson Appreciation Hour
In our maddest and sleepiest episode yet, Kyle manages to play good cop to Sie’s bad cop as they take on those pesky Erik Karlsson talks that spread through Sharks Territory.
That takes up most of the episode, where we also discuss the value of statistics versus the eye test and what is means when those things don’t line up. We recap the last week of Sharks news, check in on our bold predictions, make some new ones, and answer your questions!
It might not be our funniest episode ever, but to our credit — we’re still pretty mad right now. Sorry for the catheter talk, that was gross.

BST 2x05: Blood, Sweat, and Mouthfeel
In an extended episode (thanks Kyle), we take our time to really stew in how good it feels to win hockey games.
Talking points include: Should the Islanders be allowed to commit murder? What is a slew foot and did Brent Burns do one? How long can the Senators’ luck run and how good were their Halloween costumes? Did Logan Couture tweeting a porn link that one time scare all of the Sharks off of social media? And as always, we recap this week’s games and make predictions about the week to come.
There is a discussion of sexual assault in this episode. The time stamp is from 53:22 — 107:27, should you feel the need to skip over it.

BST 2x04: The Amnesty Episode
Kyle did a bad and messed up the recording of a very good and funny episode. Here's a not very good or funny recap of an episode that is forever gone, along with our bold predictions. We understand if you skip this one. We'll be back next week.

BST 2x03: No Kyle, No Thornton, No Problem (featuring Erik Fowle)
Kyle ditched us to spend the holiday with his family and Joe Thornton got put on injured reserve. I’m not saying they’re related but it’s enough to make me suspicious.
With Erik Fowle filling in, we answer some questions about fancy stats and what to do without Jumbo Joe Thornton in the lineup. We look at last week’s games and vent our frustrations about how the Sharks are #ActuallyGood, just incredible unlucky. The bold predictions are back with a brand new point system and we start checking in on the Ottawa Senators, since they’re basically a Sharks B....uhhhhh C-squad now.

BST 2x02: Power forwards and what to do with them
It’s a mailbag special and we recorded it at the sweet hours of too-far-after-midnight!
We answer your questions, such as power forwards: how do they work? and who among us can grow a good mustache? We talk a lot about our boy Tim Heed and Kyle explains Canada and his favorite Sharks. Bonus talk about Owen Nolan conspiracy theories. It was late, we were tired, and for some reason, we thought an extra long episode was a good idea.

BST: ERIK KARLSSON IS A SAN JOSE SHARK
We’re still not quite ready to launch season two of your favorite Sharks podcast, but Erik Karlsson becomes a Shark when you’re busy making other plans.
That’s it. That’s the whole episode.
We talk about the details of the trade and mostly just get very, very excited about what this means for the future of our favorite team.

Your favorite Sharks podcast is back with spicy takes and important analysis. This week, we bid adieu to Ryan Carpenter, check in on Paul Martin’s burgeoning AHL career, recap a week where the Sharks somehow got five points, and look forward to the next week of games. Kyle gets mad, Sie gets sad, we all move on.

BST 1x10: No Teeth, All Tongue
This episode runs long and sorry but we’re not sorry. We’re back on our BS this episode, recapping last week’s games and previewing this week’s schedule. We talk about the World Juniors Championship rosters, what will happen to the Sharks’ defense moving forward, and if the Department of Player Safety has the Sharks’ number on speed dial.

BST 1x09: Prospect Pool Party (Featuring Jake Baskin)
Get to know your San Jose Sharks prospects in this only partially serious episode. With the help of Jake Baskin (@baskincase) from Light House Hockey, we break down some important intangibles when it comes to the Sharks’ prospect pipeline and eventually land on one player we hope the Sharks won’t draft.

BST 1x08: Martin Jones [Lower Body] Injury
In this episode, we talk about the busy and not too shabby week the San Jose Sharks had and preview the games coming up, giving shout outs to the Stat Boys. We check in on our bold predictions and struggle to make new ones, take a weird detour into the ECHL, and get in loads of goalie talk — all while saying the word “groin” way, way too much. We wrap it up with an announcement about the podcast that we’re pretty excited about.
Dec 01, 201758:12
BST 1x07: The Gary Bettman Hat Trick
Sie and Kyle talk about the good boys Joonas Donskoi and Danny O’Regan, how Gary Bettman hates fun, a quick recap on this past week of games and a preview of what’s to come. Kyle doesn’t understand American Thanksgiving and the bold predictions carry on.
Nov 23, 201759:13
BST 1x06: Moose Baby Timo Meier
Cutting it close before game time in this week’s episode, Sie and Kyle recap the games against Tampa Bay, Vancouver, and Los Angeles. We talk about Joe Thornton’s aging body, Timo Meier’s scoring struggles, how Brent Burns has the yips, and preview this week, all while trying not to laugh every time we bring up the Manitoba Moose and every time one of us pronounces a name incorrectly.
Nov 17, 201701:06:19
BST 1x05: Spoiler Alert: Barclay Goodrow doesn't die in the end
We talk about the snoozefest against the Nashville Predators and the game against the Anaheim Ducks. Sie's favorite young Shark gets sent back to the AHL and we commiserate about Kevin Labanc. Martin Jones is en fuego, Boedker did something, and Kyle is distressed about production vs. salary expectations. We preview the upcoming slate of games against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Vancouver Canucks, and the Los Angeles Kings. Kyle also gets into former Canadian Prime Ministers and their Sharks connection.

BST 1x04: Where in the world is Jannik Hansen
In the fourth episode, Kyle and Sie talk about Patrick Marleau returning to San Jose, what to do with Timo Meier, and what to expect from the Sharks next week.

BST 1x03: Brent Burns is Tim Heed on Steroids
In a special post-game, east coast late night recording, Sie and Kyle got too sad talking about the forward line changes and the episode went a little off the rails. We talk about Logan Couture’s hat trick, being Tim Heed and Joakim Ryan friendly, Pete DeBoer’s short leash, Jake McGrew tearing it up in the WHL, the games coming up, and so much more.
Oct 24, 201701:12:48
BST 1x02: We've Got Some Big Boys (Feat. Kyle's Dad)
In Episode 2, Sie and Kyle talk about the games against the Sabres and Islanders, the new line combinations, and we have our first guest....kind of.
