5.7 First Cuda Game
We start the show with the second half of my trip which not only featured the Blues and Capitals but also saw me finally get my first taste of AHL hockey as the Barracuda took on Ontario and Coachella Valley As well as all of that we will lookback on the whole of March where I will be voicing my displeasure of James Reimer's actions during Hockey Night For Everyone and over in Cuda Corner our playoff hopes went on life support as so many back to backs ended in split results instead of maximum points Once again the WestWatch sits out as we bring back a segment we did last season looking back on all of the blockbuster moves made during the Trade Deadline which this year happened whilst I was away Finally we take our penultimate trip down Teal Lane where this time we reminisce on the developments of our webseries Teal Report Vids which you can check out on my official YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLltAB8OXPJaUGYpWDeWlQ-3gAtgmMk2Kk We would love to hear from you send us your thoughts at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com and we could be reading them out on the show

5.6 I'm Back in California
Finally my long awaited return trip to San Jose had arrived and I couldn't be more excited to get back out there to the Tank for some amazing action as the first half of the trip featured Predators, Blackhawks and Canadiens where I also witnessed history as Patrick Marleau became the first Shark to have their number hoisted to the rafters in a very special and long day But before all of that we lookback on a month full of heartbreak for the Sharks as the theme of the year so close and yet so far really took its toll this month whilst things weren't any easier for the Barracuda as Cuda Corner recaps a testing month for them as well This month the WestWatch is ditched in favour of recapping all the fun of the 2023 NHL All Star Weekend which took place at FLA Live Arena the home of the Florida Panthers We finish the show with another trip down Teal Lane where this time we reminisce on the development of Cuda Corner and how we were finally able to bring the San Jose Barracuda to our show Don't forget you can send us your thoughts by emailing us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com we would love to hear from you and read out your thoughts on the show Make sure to tune in to next month's show for the remainder of my trip which featured the Blues & Capitals plus my first ever Barracuda games as they took on the Reign & Firebirds

5.5 Persistent at the Net
For only the second time in my now fourteen years as a shark the team played on New Year's Day as the first month of 2023 was frustrating as so many wins slipped through our grasp despite one common theme and that was San Jose constantly being persisitent with the puck at the net meanwhile in Cuda Corner it was a mixed bag as they managed to snap their eight game losing streak from last month and paid their first visit to Coachella Valley Over on the WestWatch we moan at Vegas being picked over Vancouver as the Kraken's oppenents at next year's Winter Classic, share our delight at the Battle of Alberta going outdoors for the Heritage Classic next season and drool over Arizona's all new thrd jerseys This month's trip to Teal Lane sees us reminisce on our first ever live show which not only was a huge moment for the show but also for me as a content creator Finally I have a very important podcast update ahead of my long awaited return trip to San Jose Don't forget if you want to sends us your thoughts then email us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com we would love to hear from you and read out your messages on the show

5.4 Seals Month
The final month of the 2022 calendar year brought a lack of discpline and the once mighty penalty kill leak big time as the Seals Reverse Retros got a fair outing throughout the month including two road games in Anaheim and Vancouver, over in Cuda Corner the Barracuda faced adversity for the first time this season which also saw two big milestones the first matchup with the Coachella Valley Firebirds and the last of the Resurgence Jerseys made their glorious debut This month was a slow month for the WestWatch as there wasn't much news across the conference however we do have some items to cover including history in the US Hockey Hall of Fame from a St.Louis native, Edmonton hand out a contract extension and the dates for Anaheim Ducks Day 2023 are announced We finish the show by taking another trip down Teal Lane where this time we reminicse about the WestWatch and how it has developed across the five seasons of the Teal Report podcast If you want to get in touch with the show then please do by emailing us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com we would love to hear from you and could be reading your thoughts out on the show

5.3 Shootout Pains
November proved to be a sticky point for the Sharks new era as there was plenty of bonus hockey throughout but mainly shootouts which provided a lot of agony as once again their record doesn't show their effort that is being put in, whilst in Cuda Corner the Barracuda had a very busy month full of back to backs including their first encounter with the Wranglers Over on the WestWatch we have a special Mighty Ducks tribute, see how Colorado fared in their Global Series in Finland and old time rivals Los Angeles provide an intriguing segment as their mascot Bailey dabbled in plastic surgery In this month's Teal Lane we reminisce to when we did our very first special episode which looked back on the 2019 NHL All Star Weekend that was held in San Jose which saw S.J Sharkie lead Team West to victory in the Mascot Showdown and claimed the Most Valuable Mascot award If you would like to get in touch with us then please do by emailing us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com we would love to hear from you and we could be reading your thoughts on the show

5.2 Žraloci v Praze
Fresh from facing the Preds in Prague things didn't get any easier as the month of October proved to be a very tricky start to the 2022/23 season as we will be looking back on how the month unfolded whilst over at Cuda Corner the Barracuda got off to a brillant start as they began life in their new home at Tech CU Arena Kicking off the first WestWatch of the season are the Calgary Falmes who bring out an old design for their new third jersey, Arizona Coyotes make the most of a bad situation adjusting to college life and the Seattle Kraken finally get in on the mascot craze We finish off the show with our very first trip going down memory lane as part of our fifth anniversary season and this time we reminisce on our very first episode back in 2018 and tell you the initial plans for Teal Report as a whole Oh and I also have a very special announcement to make at the very beginning of the show that you are not going to want to miss honestly I can't express how excited I am!!!

4.9 Flying the Nest
Well for this season April was our version of a typical March as the San Jose Sharks ran into serious trouble as for so many games they came so close and yet so far which is more than the San Jose Barracuda can say for themselves as they had a dismal final month of their campaign as they have officially flew the nest as Tech CU Arena opens to hockey Oct 22 In the final WestWatch of the season we look ahead to the Western Conference playoffs by looking at the matchups and making some bold predictions on who could take the Clarence S Campbell trophy from Montreal and represent us in the Stanley Cup Final this June Don't forget to take part in our fun little survey which asks who you think will play the Barracuda in their first ever game at Tech CU Arena on the 22nd October 2022 by followig this link - https://surveyhero.com/c/ut4fgjdx Feel free to get in touch with us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com we would love to hear from you our fellow Teal Town citizens wherever you are across the world

4.8 Missed Cues
Well I don't know about you guys but the month of March certainly got my blood boiling mainly thanks to the boys in the zebra costumes as the officating in this league went to new levels of disgusting which even resulted in costing the Sharks some much needed and vital results as the Western Conference is starting to get tightly packed The Barracuda on the other hand had a much better month than last time as not only did they win more games they were also able to manage a decent points streak although it might be too little too late for a late playoff push In the WestWatch there wasn't much in terms of news this month so instead we've decided to focus on all of the deals and moves that took place during the Trade Deadline And we finish off the show by giving you a podcast update as we enter the home stretch Don't forget if you would like to get in touch with the show email us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com

4.7 Whilst in Beijing
While I was having fun following the Olympic coverage across both the BBC and Eurosport things took a disatrous turn in San Jose as the Sharks spent the month digging themselves in holes which they couldn't come out of as James Reimer is yet to be given a long overdue rest from the pipes... In Cuda Corner the Barracuda would like to have forgotten this month's fixtures as they were only able to manage one win and it was against a club not in their division Also on the show we look back on all the latest news that broke whilst I was away and I give you a little take on some of the highlights from Beijing If you would like to get in touch with us then email us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com and we could be reading out your message on the show A big shout out to Brodie Brazil as his Night Shift on YouTube was a big help for me to gather my thoughts on the three games that took place during the Winter Olympics, massive thank you!!!

4.6 Eastern Zone
Well it's fair to say if this month's games was a zone in The Crystal Maze the sharks wouldn't have walked away with as many crystals as this month did not see our finest hour to put it bluntly and in Cuda Corner things did not get any better either as whilst they had a lot of high shot counts not a lot of them went into the back of the net Over on the WestWatch St.Louis Blues mascot Louie gatecrashes as we relive the fun and excitment from this year's Winter Classic, Calgary's arena situation also provides the talking point and our running gag with the Edmonton Oilers is finally over thanks to a terrible interview with one of its star players If you would like to get in touch then do email us your thoughts at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com and we might read out your messages in a future edition of our show

4.5 New Places, New Faces
Sadly due to technical difficulties we've had to scrap the live show and so it's business as usual as we look back on December 2021 which had been quite a turbulent month for the San Jose Sharks which feature two big pieces of history in the form of the first visit to UBS Arena the new home of the New York Islanders and the first visit from the new kids Seattle Kraken On the WestWatch the Nashville Predators unveil their Stadium Series jerseys, Anaheim Ducks get into the christmas spirit and Vancouver Canucks celebrate their past Cuda Corner is quite a hectic one this time round as the Barracuda had a very busy December as they continue to navigate their way through a very crowded Pacific Division If you would like to get in touch with us then email us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com and we might read out your email on a future episode of the show

But don't panic it's not an hour long screech fest as we will also explain how this sudden change of events is going to affect the podcast going forward leading up to the Olympic break or should I now say leading up to my Olympic break because I'm having one even if the league won't!!!

4.4 Sharkcudary
Both San Jose clubs have had to be brave and come together literally as the issues surrounding COVID19 continued to plague the Bay area despite the fact both Ottawa and the Islanders were placed in shutdowns similar to what saw happen to a lot of teams last season... Despite the pandemic the month of November proved to be a rocky road full of highs and lows for both sides and we will be covering all of it in the Lookbacks and Cuda Corner which saw history as the Barracuda made their first official visit to Abbotsford if only I can pronounce it correctly This month's Westwatch also had some history made as for the first time ever in four seasons of the show we feature the same team twice as Los Angeles do the unthinkable which gives me a laugh also our reactions to Vegas aqquiring Jack Eichel and Chicago firing head coach Jeremy Colliton after only one month into the new season And of course we would love to feature your thoughts on our show so please get in touch with us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com and we might read them out on the show
