    Sharks Stumble, Goalies Shine, Klingberg Scratched

    In this episode, Paul and Aaron break down a roller-coaster week for the San Jose Sharks. The goals dried up, the defense struggled under pressure, but the goaltending showed its strongest stretch of the season. Klingberg was a surprise healthy scratch that raised questions across Sharks Territory. And through the chaos, Celebrini continues to climb toward full-on star status. The guys dig into the games against the Calgary Flames, Seattle Kraken, and Utah Mammoth, look at why the Sharks are living and dying on special teams right now, debate whether the goaltending surge is sustainable, and talk about what the Klingberg decision really signals for the roster and locker room.
