Teal Report

On March 3 2023 I finally got to attend y first ever San Jose Barracuda game during their first season at Tech CU Arena and it was more than I could ever imagined as not only did I get to see a win but I also met a very special someone

After sharing The Tank with their big brothers for seven years the time had finally come for the grand opening of Tech CU Arena and for the Barracuda to have their own place to call homeIt was an exteremely emotional night as the Henderson Silver Knights had the honour of being the first victims to fall to the Deep

Thanks to the 4 Nations this month's episode is going to feel a little different than usual...First up we go through all of the month's fixtures as the Sharks faced off against most of the canadian teams with very mixed results and fortunesAfter that we will head over to Cuda Corner whjch saw a lack of form from the team as some silly mistakes cost dearly as the Barracuda are still in the mix for the playoffs but only justGet in touch at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com

After seven incredible years I have made the very difficult decision to bring the Teal Report podcast to a close at the end of our current seasonThis was not an easy decision and was not made lightly but I feel that I have achieved all I want to do from this show and with my hockey priorities changing the time has come to move on I am going to miss this show so much and would like to thank all of you for listening over the years as I couldn't have done it without you

Back in 2022 a huge milestone was reached as the Barracuda would officially fly the nest into their own home which they would call Tech CU Arena, I remember this moment very well and even watched the live stream of the grand opening

In 2021 the Pacific Division were the only ones who eelcted to hold a playoffs to determine their division champion which saw all teams given the chance to fight for the crown however the Play In didn't feel thrilling as it felt dairly obvious who was going to play Henderson in the Semi Finals

While in terms of the fixtures the start of the new year wasn't good but at least us Sharks fans had at least one good thing to smile about as our beloved Brodie Brazil is back where he belongsOver on Cuda Corner the new year saw the Cuda have to handle the pressure as several of our division rivals are starting to find their form as well as the first ever visit to Tech CU Arena from the Toronto Marlies And PuckStop returns for one last time featuring stories from our Pacific Division rivals Edmonton Oilers, Anaheim Ducks and LA Kings Get in touch at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com

With the NHL 4 Nations Face Off literally round the corner and with the NHL planning a two week break in the regular season to allow this one of a kind event to go ahead disruption is not too far ahead On this emergency show we explain how the 4 Nations is going to disrrupt Teal Report and how we plan to handle the disrruption that will be caused to our beloved show We will also tell you our plans on how we're going to cover the 4 Nations Face Off as whilst I'm not a fan of the whole thing I have backed a horse in Connor McDavid & Team Canada

Despite winning their division the Barracuda felt the heat in the 2017 Division Semifinals when they went the full distance against fellow North Califorina rivals the Stockton Heat in what remains the best run seen in the Reef

The final month of the calendar year 2024 was not great for the Sharks with only two wins and a lot of agony especially as the new kids on the block are proving to be deadly killers Over at Cuda Corner there wasn't much variety as I lost count of the amount of times we faced Coachella Valley as the script in that series has completely fllipped in our favour despite the month being a mixed bag This month's edition of PuckStop features stories from the Winter Classic, the Ottawa Charge and the Anaheim Ducks Get in touch at tealreportpodcast@:gmail.com

In their second season the San Jose Barracuda were crowned the Kings of the Pacific winning their first division title in franchise history and the second team to do it in the division's short history, with the banner proudly hanging high in Tech CU Arena

This month was an emotional month for all of us in Teal Town as Joe Thornton's number was raised to the rafters the second Shark to recieve this honour as we hosted the team he faced in teal for the very first time, but that wasn't the only emotional moment of the month as future starting netminder Yaroslav Askerov made his Sharks debut Over on Cuda Corner it was littered with back to backs but they managed these situations a lot better in years past as they also faced the Toronto Marlies for the very first time This month's PuckStop features stories from the Nashville Predators and both the Boston Bruins & St.Louis Blues side of November's biggest news story

Like SJ Sharkie the San Jose Barracuda wouldn't be the same without their mascot Frenzy who has been the best little brother we could wish for who like his older sibling made his debut a few months after the team arrived in town

We've been waiting all summer for Macklin Celebrini to enter the National Hockey League ad oh my did he make waves getting his first goal, points and 1st Star of the Game all Opening Night, not even Connor Bedard managed that This first month of the campaign has shown some promise as for most of the games they refused to back down and roll over fighting for ever ypoint they could grab Over at Cuda Corner and with Yaroslav Askerov now in Teal they had an outstanding first month as they only lost one game in the start of their tenth anniversary And we open the PuckStop for the very first time and this month we have stories from the Seattle Kraken, Florida Panthers and Utah HC Email us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com

Not many new teams get the honour for their first game to be on home soil but on Friday October 9 2015 that is exactly what happened to the Barracuda as the second episode looks back on our very first game as we took on the Rockford Ice Hogs

It's hard to believe that ten years has passed since the Barracuda arrived into San Jose and that's where we're starting in our miniseries celebrating the tenth anniversary of our San Jose Barracuda

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

It has been a long and painful season for all of us in teal but it's time to finally put it to rest in the Season 6 finale... It's a busy show that starts with us reviewing the year that has gone by along with all of the stats that the Sharks made across the 2023/24 season Next up we look at if any of the predicitions that I made for our division rivals came true and as you'll see I didn't do as well as I did last year Then it's time for annual recap of this season for Teal Report which saw our special show on the AHL Classic and a big milestone for us as we launched our sister show covering PWHL Minnesota And we close the show with some details about our plans for Season 7 Rest up well my fellow Sharks fans as a brighter future is ahead and I'll see you in October for Season 7

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The puck drop on the inagural season of the Professional Womens Hockey League and this bonus edition of Teal Report sees us introduce our brand new sister show Purple Reign... Purple Reign will officially launch in January 2024 and will be focusing on PWHL Minnesota who I will be supporting, the show will be based on our Cuda Corner segment from the main show We also talk the reason behind why I'm backing Minnesota and explain how the show will work when we hit the ground running Also we provide your first listen to the theme tune for Purple Reign Welcome to the family PWHL Minnesota

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

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

The dust has now finally settled on our fifth anniversary and we return to business as usual as the 2023/24 season is just around the corner But before we return to the main action its time for our preseason show where coming up we take a look at the Sharks 2023 preseason which saw us dominate Vegas however it was mixed fortunes over our SoCal neighbours Also on the show back by popular demand we make our predictions as to how our Pacific Division oppenents will fare this season and finish the show with somethig new by setting goals for San Jose for the year ahead Email us at tealreportpodcast@gmail.com

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

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

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

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

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

Coming up on the show we review the 2021/22 statistics for the San Jose Sharks as well as how many teams they managed to get one over during the season COVID19 still played a main factor despite the league determined to pretend it was all back to normal but as we all know that was not the case and once again our rant is back with a vegence We also take a trip down memory lane as the San Jose Barracuda have officially left SAP Center ready to begin a new life in Tech CU Arena And we finish the show looking back on Season 4 as a whole and look ahead to the future as we prepare to celebrate a milestone of our own We will still be keeping an eye on our mailbag throughout the summer so if you would like to get in touch with us then email us at tealreportpodcasr@gmail.com Have a well rested summer and we'll see you in October 2022 for Season 5 of Teal Report

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

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

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!!!

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

Sadly duw 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
