The Circling the Cup podcast is for new and long-time fans of the San Jose Sharks. We try to keep cursing to PG-13, but no guarantees.

    CTC Podcast 231 – Chaos in the Offseason

    Winning the 2nd overall pick in the draft lottery! Re-signings! Qualifying offers! Trades! More trades! The Draft! Free Agent signings! An offer sheet that sabotaged a divison opponent in the most hilarious way possible! We have so much to talk about in our mid-offseason check-in. Enjoy!

    CTC Podcast 230 – Neither Success Nor Failure

    The season is over. The young players mostly got better. The old vets mostly stank it up. General Manager Mike Grier stood pat at the trade deadline, choosing not to actually manage. And so, the Sharks end up with the 9th overall draft slot and out of the playoffs. We talk about all this and […]

    CTC Podcast 229 – Trade Dudline

    The trade deadline came and went and the Sharks…didn’t do very much. Alex, Ben, and Colin discuss what that means for this season and beyond.

    CTC Podcast 228 – Taking Stock

    It’s the Olympic Break and there’s no Sharks hockey for…forever. So, Alex, Ben, and Colin take stock of where this team is and where it is likely headed as the trade deadline looms.

    CTC Podcast 227 – Sherwood Why?

    Obviously, Alex and Ben had a lot to talk about around the Sharks’ present and future after several podcast-less weeks. One of those things is why the **** the Sharks think they need a Kiefer Sherwood, when the top 9 is already full of guys. Yet, here we are. Enjoy.

    CTC Podcast 226 – High Highs and Low Lows

    Will Smith and Phillip Kurashev are on IR. One of those is because of an uncalled dirty hit. But the end result of the game they both died was a comeback for the ages. Alex, Ben, and Colin talk about all this and the week that was in Sharks’ hockey.

    CTC Podcast 225 – Running Hot and Cold

    The Sharks had a hot streak in November and found themselves briefly in a playoff spot. Since the hot streak, though, they’ve fallen back a bit to Earth. Alex, Ben, and Colin discuss which team is the real 25-26 San Jose Sharks.

    CTC Podcast 224 – The Kurashev Supremacy

    Phillip Kurashev is a very good NHL player and the Chicago Blackhawks were morons to let him go for nothing. With that out of the way (for the mouthbreathers in the sexual assault franchise’s fanbase), Alex, Ben, and Colin talk about Will Smith’s development, the way that Misa and Dick have been…uh…dicked around, and a […]

    CTC Podcast 223 – Deja Vu

    The Sharks had 2 points in 2 games when we put out our first podcast of the year. They still have 2 points after 5 games. Wheeeeee. Alex, Ben, and Colin talk about what’s going wrong already and what could fix it.

    CTC Podcast 222 – More of the same?

    The first two games of the season haven’t done much to make us feel like this year is going to be different. We talk about our hopes for the season and what we’ve observed as the season gets going.
