Teal Report is a podcast created by a fan for the fans of the San Jose Sharks who compete in the National Hockey League.
In each episode I lookback on each month that has taken place in the current regular season, We also on the show run down the month’s fixtures of our AHL affiliates the San Jose Barracuda and take a look around the Western Conference to see if our fellow rivals have anything newsworthy for us

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

Au revoir Desert Dogs
In this ermergency episode of Teal Report we give you my honest raw gut wrenching emotional reaction to the relocation of the Arizona Coyotes to Utah where they will play at the Delta Center next year
As someone who has been through this with the Oakland A's I know exactly how Coyotes fans feel and I'm here for you if you need any emotional support
But we must look on the positives and that there's a chance the Desert Dogs could be reactivated and I will play my part in helping you get hockey back to the Desert
Stay Strong Yotes fans, stay strong -
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

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

AHL Classic 2024
The stars were aligned at Tech CU Arena for the 2024 AHL Classic which saw San Jose get to shine as the thriving hockey market that it is...
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
