Farewell Brodie
Back in September on his YouTube channel the legend that is Brodie Brazil made the shock announcement that his time at NBC Sports California was coming to an end and now we've had a few games without seeing him on Sharks Pre and Post Game Live its time to bid a fond farewell to one of the best Brodie had been with the Sharks since I had begun supporting them back in 2009 which makes this extremely hard for me as he was one of a kind Brodie wasn't just another sports broadcaster he was a friend to all of us Its hard to think of many other sports broadcasters who have done the things that Brodie's done over the years especially in engaging wth us fans from all over the world he is simply irreplaceable Thank you for everything over the past 15 years and I wish you all the very best in whatever's next Watch Brodie's statement here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44Pf3OyGpNU Check out one of my favourite Brodie memories from when he interviewed Sharkie during the pandemic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44Pf3OyGpNU

6.8 Back in Teal
The Sharks returned in teal to end what has been a miserable campaign which saw us lock up the best odds in the Draft Lottery but the main thing to takeaway is that there will still be a next year in The Tank and that's something that not everyone can say Before we begin the show I can't hide my delight at the worst coach in San Jose Sharks history David Quinn was finally made to walk the plank if only he could have taken the Barracuda's with him We then looback on the final month which saw Devin Cooley finally get his first win in the NHL and the Sharks have waited three years to win in Seattle and with his help the Sharks now have wins in every NHL barn Cuda Corner closes this year as we wrap up a miserable year which like last year concluded with a back to back series in Tucson And we look ahead to the Stanley Cup playoffs by previewing the series in the Western Conference as my heart rules my head in making the prediction off who's going to the finals Email us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com

6.7 Hertl Sized Hole
Just when you thought this season it couldn't get any worse for us in Teal Town it did as the Trade Deadline saw a major blow delivered as Tomas Hertl who had an eight year contract was dealt to none other than our archnemesis After letting off steam about that inital trade we also take a look at how the entire week of the Trade Deadline panned out as several teams bolstered their rosters ahead of the playoffs And in Cuda Corner while the Barracuda may have been eliminated from the Calder Cup playoffs they actually got some flavour in their games of the month of March with two sets of back to backs with Central Divsion teams Texas & Rockford Email us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com

6.6 Do You Want Fries With That
With the All Star Weekend and the return of the bye break things are turned upside down in the latest edition of Teal Report... First up we lookback on the entire month in one go as our brand new third jerseys made their debut and as I thought they changed my mind after seeing them on the ice Next up we skip the WestWatch and instead recap everything that happened at this year's event in Toronto and luckily for me our all star Tomas Hertl landed on Team McDavid which was where my backing was going And finally we head to Cuda Corner as Nathan Todd shined brightly as he is starting to gain support to call him up to the big leagues Email us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com

On the 4th February the Skills Competition took place which saw the Western Conference win by 18-13 with players from the Central & Pacific Divisions winning three of the events On the 5th February it was a tense All Star Challenge with all but one of the seven games decided by either one goal or finishing a tie but in the end the Pacific wins for the second year in a row As well as looking back on all of the action I also run down the rosters of all four division's all stars and give my reaction on the jerseys worn over the weekend And finish off this special by reading a special news article that the AHL published regarding San Jose hosting the event

6.5 The Cap is Back
It was a day we weren't sure if it was ever going to come but our captain Logan Couture finally returned to the lineup and it was like he had never been away as 2024 got off to quite a rollercoaster of a start as there are slow signs of improvements Cuda Corner however was filled with misery as it was a very tough month for the Barracuda which saw them go on a nine game losing streak including their two day break in Charlotte which they went to for the first time since 2015 This month's edition of the WestWatch proved to be quite eventful as Seattle gave me my favourite Winter Classic, Anaheim got involved in a sticky trade with the Flyers and the PWHL silenced the doubters with record breaking attendance Email us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com

6.4 Heart Attack Hockey
I've always thought that one day this team might be the death of me and as 2023 came to a close that is exactly what the Sharks tried to do with having to bring some stellar perfromances coming back multiple times Over at Cuda Cornner it was less stressful for me however for the Barracuda it was no rest for the week as the majority of their December fixtures were back to back something that needs to be seriously addressed for a development league Amd on this month's WestWatch we vent at The Sphere being awarded the last ever NHL Draft, pick our jaws off the floor from Craig Berube's shock firing by the Blues and warm our hearts at Abbostsford's good deeds Don't forget our sister show Purple Reign has now launched covering everything going on in the PWHL for Minnesota, listen wherever you get your podcasts Email us at Tealreportpodcast@gmail.com

6.3 Canucked
The Sharks got royally canucked in November as they hit an almighty new low with back to back games where they gave up ten goals and whilst the team finally got some wins there's still a lot of improvement needed Over in Cuda Corner the Barracuda had multiple firsts including their first ever victories over both the Calgary Wranglers and Coachella Valley Firebirds and saw the Charlotte Checkers for the first time since their inagural season This month's WestWatch sees us check in on how Minnesota fared in Stockholm, try not to laugh at the surname of Edmonton's new coach and thanks to the Golden Brats I reveal where my party colors lie

6.2 Winless in October
Well, well, well in all my years I don't think I can recall a worse start to the San Jose Sharks season as they come away from the first month of the 2023/24 season without a single win It was relevantly quiet in terms of news from our conference but the WestWatch is open for business as we recap the Battle of Alberta going outdoors, disdain at Vegas' banner ceremony and go to the PWHL for some exciting news from Minnesota Over on Cuda Corner the Barracuda met some old friends that they hadn't seen since the 2017/18 season the Blackhawks affiliates Rockford Ice Hogs before facing tough tests from Henderson and Coachella Valley Email us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com

5.8 All Colorado's Fault
I'm in a bad mood with both Colorado teams as the Avalanche were responsible for ending the Sharks win streak whilst the Eagles killed the Barracuda's chances of making it into this year's Calder Cup Playoffs as they miss out by the slimist of margins We will digest all of the highs, lows and heartbreak in the final set of Lookbacks and Cuda Corner of the season as the action winds down as both teams first season of the Evolve and Resurgence Eras come to a close The WestWatch is finally back as we look ahead to the Stanley Cup Playoffs by previewing the Western Conference and make that bold prediction on who will represent our conference in the Stanley Cup Finals come June And we finish the show with the final trip down Teal Lane as we reminisce on our preseason show which has become a recent edition to the podcast Don't forget you can send us your thoughts by emailing us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com we would love to hear from you
