Eichel finally traded. Ottawa is part of Toronto. Subban likes to slew foot. The Ducks aren't half bad. The Sharks are alright. Eklund went home, maybe MacTavish will too?

Welcome back to another season of Off the Coast! The season has started and the Ducks are out to a fast start while the Sharks look like a group of unacquainted non-athletes who just met on craigslist. Marleau is a Shark again, Eakins looks like he's prooooooobably a better coach than Carlyle was, and the Knights are probably going to win the Pacific. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at OffTheCoastHockey@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/OffTheCoastPod if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2

This is our super suuuper late post Cup Final show! I have no excuses.

This week we talk about the Conference Finals as they stood last Saturday, obviously, things have progressed sense then. We cover more things going right for the Sharks in the form of the missed hand pass Patrick Roy interviewing in Ottawa for the head coaching job, getting everyone excited for Chaos, the Sabers making a good decision for once it seems, and the Gulls doing far far better than their NHL counter point. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at OffTheCoastHockey@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/OffTheCoastPod if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2

This week, my audio track sounds as bad as I do. Sorry about that, I tried to fix it as best I could. Other than that, we breakdown the last half of the first round and then go over the second.

Hockey, thy name is Chaos. The playoffs are bonkers, Penn is still pessimistic about the Sharks chances (even though they have by this point managed to force a game 7), and three coaches (two of them good ones) have new homes. We're wrong about everything, so we double down and make some more new wrong predictions here. Good thing our opinions don't matter. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at OffTheCoastHockey@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/OffTheCoastPod if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2
The Sharks have caught the California sickness, and the Ducks are winning too many games, but at least we're close to that most magical time of the year!

The first wave of trade deadline moves have been made (this was recorded Saturday) and Columbus is going all-in.

We made it through a full regular season of episodes! The All-Star Game happened and the Ducks continue to be cold as that dead deer your uncle who likes to hunt stuck in his walk-in freezer three years ago.

Welcome to season 3 of Off the Coast! We're back, we're as rinky-dink as ever, and we're here to talk about hockey. On this episode, we talk about Ducks and Sharks preseasons, Erik Karlsson, Corey Perry's Knee, and then go into predictions on how the league and especially the Pacific will turn out. Oh and of course Gritty. Gritty is life, Gritty is love. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at OffTheCoastHockey@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/OffTheCoastPod if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2
Penn does his best to stay reasonable about that ABSOLUTE SNAKE TAVARES, all while Joey does his best to trigger Penn.

We look back fondly on Mike Hoffman’s tenure as a Shark, look ahead to openers next season, salivate over John Tavares and make some predictions on the upcoming (since passed) draft.

Penn and Joey actually agree on something: thank god the Knights didn’t win the cup. Also on the docket: Ilya Kovalchuk, more bemoaning of Corey Perry’s contract, and possibly the weirdest story of the year, involving the Senators and cyberbullying. It’s a bad time to be a Senators fan... -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at OffTheCoastHockey@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/OffTheCoastPod if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2
As the Finals matchup that everybody saw coming gets underway, so too does the Ducks/Sharks offseason!

Alina Mueller> Mirco Mueller. The Sharks are hemmorhaging forwards while the Ducks are getting healthier. The Kings have traded for another meanie. Also in this week’s show, we take an in close look at Mike Smith’s groin, speak fondly of friend of the podcast Dustin Brown, and generally feel very relaxed and at ease with our teams’ spots in the standings. *AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH* -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at OffTheCoastHockey@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/OffTheCoastPod if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2

The Sharks have a fantastic defense and no offense, the Ducks are struggling to gather as many points as they can while their stars are injured, and the Kings… well our Kings expert is buried in textbooks, so we don’t know. Also covered, Antti Niemi’s meandering quest to give up 6 goals in a game for every team in the league, a HUGE trade, and a few more grumbles about goalie interference.

Nobody has the number 43! Christopher Walken introduces the show, the NHL is Bizarro World, and Joey still really hates the Flames. Still getting back into the swing of things, but it feels good to be back! My team might be real bad right now, but I’ve still missed my sweet sweet hockey fix. Also discussed: Don Cherry, Las Vegas’ historic start, and the US Men’s Soccer National Team’s great world cup poopening.

Recorded just after the protected lists were released, this episode contains OUR picks for the Vegas Golden Knights expansion draft selections.

Back before the Sharks and Kings were eliminated, we talked about some stuff. Reffing and reviews, why the Kings weren’t going to make the playoffs, how big of a jerk Dustin Brown is… That type of thing. Here’s episode 34, hopefully soon to be followed by episode 36, wherein I cry uncontrollably and we break down the second round of the playoffs. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -LA Kings Funeral Song: Harmonica Funeral by Colin Langenus: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/colin_langenus/This_Is_Everyday/4_Harmonica_Funeral

Back in the good old days when the Sharks weren't in the process of throwing themselves off a cliff to join the mangled corpses of the Kings, three friends got together and recorded a podcast. This is their story. Also included, a conversation with a new hockey fan and how the sport we love looks to a fresh set of eyes. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2
Our debut episode brings you the story of a good boy. A very good boy. Laddie Boy, the First Dog of the United States. A wonderful, charming terrier whom Americans loved even more than they hated his owner: Warren G. Harding, one of the worst presidents the country has ever known.

The trade deadline has passed. The Capitals and Wild made the biggest splashes, but all three California teams also made some moves. The Ducks added a great value scoring winger in Patrick Eaves, the Sharks added a honey badger to their roster, and the Kings traded a Saint for a Bishop. Speaking of deadlines, we’re reaaaaallllly bad at them. And a lot has happened since we recorded this episode. Frigging St. Louis. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -Beautiful lonely piano music courtesy of: www.bensound.com
Penn and Joey have been working on reading each other's minds, Montreal was quick to jump on a more qualified French-Canadian coach, and Vermette and Nyquist were naughty. The trade deadline looms, the Ducks, Sharks, and Kings are all sagging somewhat, but there's still a quarter of the season to be played. Also during this episode, Joey and Penn give Jacob a scare by being horribly misinformed. We're real professional, you guys. And yeah, episode 31 beat episode 30 out of editing... -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2
Penn’s gone, so things run amok! Joey and Jacob talk about Jacob’s experience at the inauguration and then talk ancient hockey that happened before the all star game. But it was edited so we’re releasing it! -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2
Yes, you read the title correctly. "But Penn," you ask, "where is episode 28?" The answer: lost in time and space, but soon to arrive. In this episode, after reuniting, your hosts talk about the All-Star Game, the top 100 players of all-time, and Ken Hitchcock's exit. Tomas Hertl is back, Core Perry has made it to 700 career points, and Anze Kopitar is no longer stuck at 4 goals. Good news all around! -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2
The halfway point in the season has passed and the Pacific is the closest it’s been in a long time. Jacob, Joey, and Penn discuss disappointments, pleasant surprises, and where they think their teams will end up come May and June. Random observations: Kase, Ritchie, and Vermette have combined to form a KILLER “third” line for the Ducks, the Kings continue to persevere, keeping their playoff hopes alive even in the absence of Jonathan “Ow, My Groin” Quick, and... Oh, yeah Boedker had a hat trick. That happened. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -The Avalanche have made a good hip-hop artist acquisition by picking up Neet’s Beatz: http://www.csnbayarea.com/sharks/nieto-claimed-colorado-after-sharks-put-him-waivers -Hertl continues to get closer to playing again.

Making it through the holidays with no one to talk hockey with sure was hard. The season has continued to take its toll on the health of California players: Toffoli’s mysteriously ailing, Vlasic took a slapshot to the face, and Clayton Stoner is playing bear hunting games at home while recovering from abdominal surgery. The Sharks division lead has narrowed, and pretty much everybody but Arizona has a shot at the playoffs at the moment. Yes, even you, Vancouver. Also covered: Jacob is a trumpet, Steve Downie is now the hockey world’s most unpredictable pundit, and Minnesota-Columbus was the hypest game of the season so far (WHO’DA THUNK IT?!?) Stay tuned after the outro for something I spent an embarrassing amount of time on. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -Clayton Stoner’s abs are hurt: http://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/ducks-clayton-stoner-out-4-6-weeks-after-abdominal-surgery/ - Vlasic on injured reserve although the injury is not as serious as initially feared. http://www.csnbayarea.com/sharks/vlasic-injured-reserve-sharks-recall-mueller -Pic of Vlasic’s face after taking a slapshot to it: https://twitter.com/Vlasic44/status/815738586393759744/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw -Hertl is starting to skate again, but not anywhere close to playing. http://www.csnbayarea.com/sharks/injured-sharks-center-hertl-gets-back-ice - Steve Downie weighed in on… a lot of things… via twitter: http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/18342773/steve-downie-critical-don-cherry-arizona-coyotes-twitter-rant -Silly media of the week: https://streamable.com/aelwd
Recording the day before Christmas Eve and the first day of Hanukkah, California Hockey Talk reflects on each of their team’s most infuriating tendencies, then get a Dustin Brown fact hilariously wrong. On the positive side of things, Deboer’s strategy of benching players to motivate them seems to be working, Tyler Toffoli is scoring again, and Kevin Bieksa scored on a breakaway. (!!!!!!) Also on the horizon: 3 intra-California grudge matches in the next week! Around the league, Jaromir Jagr is now number two overall in all-time NHL scoring, and Devin Dubnyk is looking like a frontrunner for the Vezina. And Celine Dion and Marcel Dionne are obviously related. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 - Mike Hoffman got suspended a long time ago, but here’s some “news” about it: http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/18294264/ottawa-senators-mike-hoffman-suspended-2-games - Nice media piece on Danny O’Regan, another Shark prospect to be excited about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La_2Mf51shc - Two heart-stirring pieces of media that involve Titanic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQNHp8lcvbk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2WH8mHJnhM -Celebrate the holidays with (Kr)Hampus Lindholm by singing Swedish Christmas carols poorly! https://www.instagram.com/p/BOdR2IVgHxP/
As the California teams are all out on road trips, your hosts ask themselves the important questions: Why are the Blue Jackets good? Who’s going to win the Pacific division? How do you pronounce Borowiecki? Does Joey have voodoo powers that affect Corey Perry’s skill level? Are the Kings a playoff team even with Jonathan Quick? Are the Senators the Sharks’ Eastern Conference rivals? These questions and more are discussed on this week’s episode. Does anybody even read these? I’m starting to think nobody does. I think I could make this a private diary space and no one would know. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -Officer Bobrovsky is on the case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omZPhiT2PeQ -Source on Martin Jones’ shootout numbers.

Not sure what happened with this one, but we almost decided not to post it at all.

Amidst more goalie contact-troversy, Joey, Penn and Jacob discuss their teams’ trajectories. Penn does a lot of moaning and conspiracy theorizing before raising the question: When is it and isn’t it appropriate to “let the boys play?” Also featured: milestones for Marleau and Fowler, and a very important virtual victory by Martin Jones and Brenden Dillon over Tyler Toffoli and Kyle Clifford. And guess which host didn’t get input on the title this week. :( -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -Judge for yourself, I guess. https://www.nhl.com/ducks/video/garbutt-scores-on-strange-play/t-277437084/c-46775703 -Brenden Dillon and Martin Jones take on Tyler Toffoli and Kyle Clifford in NHL 17: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTXFOHyEV5A
Jacob was away for the Holidays, but Joey and Penn had nothing better to do, so they recorded an episode the day before Thanksgiving anyway. While there is plenty of fun stuff going on in the hockey world, Penn is not thankful for the slew of injuries plaguing the league, least of all the one that Tomas Hertl has suffered. Joey is not thankful for referees who blatantly miss easy goalie collision calls (although the poop has rolled downhill onto the Sharks from that event.) In other news, the Pacific learned the name and logo of their new younger brother, the Sharks dropped big money on a big contract extension, and Matt Calvert is actually a terminator with no nerves in his face. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -The Ducks were victimized by an awful call on what should not have been a goal.

The Sharks have gotten off to a great start to their roadtrip (which has since gone downhill,) the Ducks are starting to establish themselves at the top of Pacific Division, and we still can’t tell if the Kings are terrible or are going to work some Kings magic and still contend despite icing a team of goalie trainers and rink janitors. In other news, 2016 continues to be a terrible year, as injuries and bad diagnoses abound in the NHL, but at least someone finally wrote us an email. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -The Ducks made a trade this past week: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/capitals/ducks-trade-f-michael-sgarbossa-to-florida-for-f-logan-shaw/2016/11/16/62258756-ac65-11e6-8f19-21a1c65d2043_story.html -New inductees to the Hockey Hall of Fame include ex-King Rogie Vachon and ex-Shark Sergei Makarov. https://www.hhof.com/htmlinduct/ind16prolog.shtml -Ignoring the Sharks injury news from this week that was devastating, Karlsson was injured blocking a shot and is still DTD. https://twitter.com/CurtisPashelka/status/798238472561688576?s=09 - Brian Bickel has been diagnosed with MS, similar to the case with G Josh Harding a couple years ago https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/bryan-bickell-diagnosed-with-multiple-sclerosis/c-283637026 -The Pacific Division has lost an electrifying player for at least several weeks: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2670710-johnny-gaudreau-injury-updates-on-flames-lws-recovery-from-finger-surgery -And a former electrifying-player-from-the-Pacific-Division is out with a knee injury: https://www.nhl.com/devils/news/devils-provide-update-on-lw-taylor-hall/c-283799766 -Similar to Hall’s injury but much worse in scope, Stamkos has gone down with another bad injury.

The California hockey session of musical chairs continues, as this week it’s the Sharks who are bad, the Kings who are good, and the Ducks who are decent. Drew Doughty’s finally getting some rest, the Sharks PK is on fire (in a good way this season), and the Ducks continue to turn in either fantastic games or total stinkers. Trying not to get political, Jacob, Joey, and Penn also discuss dirty players, the potential end of the Las Vegas team name saga, and NHL logos. Note: Due to some availability issues, this podcast is coming out almost a week after it was recorded. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -Jacob Trouba has rescinded his trade request after signing a new contract with the Jets. https://www.nhl.com/news/winnipeg-jets-jacob-trouba-rescinds-trade-request/c-283528340 - According to Chris Johnston, the Las Vegas Naming Saga will finally end on November 22nd. https://mobile.twitter.com/reporterchris/status/795748768754831361 -Two ex-Sharks retired, one a saint, the other a sinner. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/report-raffi-torres-retiring-professional-hockey/ http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/john-scott-retires-professional-hockey/
What’s this? A third host? The Kings are no longer fair game for unanswered jabs and jeers? Editing is going to take significantly longer now? Penn and Joey no longer have to struggle to cover Kings news? Yes to all of the above. On this episode Jacob, Joey, and Penn talk about the Kings’ scoring problems, the roller coaster of emotion that hockey has become, and make game predictions that make Penn look like a moron. Also discussed: Craig Anderson’s week, an Ice scandal in New York, and details behind the release of Goon 2. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -The Kings and Ducks got into some nice team-fisticuffs the other night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckulqw9BCBE -More ugliness included this hit from Tom Gilbert on Nick Ritchie.

“Fresh” off a three hour recording session with the Jacket Cast, Penn and Joey review the past few games for the California hockey teams and preview those coming up. Lindholm signed the morning after we recorded this. Of course he did. The Sharks laid a stinker against Detroit before bouncing back with a strong game against the Ducks. Despite his team losing round one of the Sharks-Ducks grudge match, Joey is not too broken up. Gibson looks fantastic and the Ducks are coming off a huge victory over the Preds. Keep an eye out for photos or something, as both Joey and Penn are going to games in the next couple days! -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -If you’re interested in checking out our appearance on the Jacket Cast (a great CBJ podcast recorded and produced by a husband and wife duo), here is the link to their Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/jacketcast/episode-38-california-hockey-talk-podcast -Looks like the Kings are resisting the urge to go all in for Ondrej Pavelec… For now. http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2016/10/25/report-anders-lindback-will-join-injury-riddled-kings/ -Bob Murray had some choice words for a reporter who perpetuated the rumor that Lindholm is being shopped. http://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/nhl-gm-calls-out-insider-for-false-trade-rumor-says-he-s-full-of-sh-t
The Sharks have taken a major step backward while the Ducks and Kings have begun to show signs of life. Penn and Joey make more vague references to exciting things coming up, (half-jokingly) tremble in fear at the rise of the Oilers and Canucks, and pay respect to the big-butted living legend that is Jaromir Jagr. Penn demonstrates that anger is an emotion that he can indeed feel, although it remains a possibility that he is actually an advanced android trying to disguise his true nature through false outbursts of “human” emotion. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -Douglas “Crankshaft/Don’t-Call-Me-Doug” Murray, legendary Viking warrior crafted out of concrete and rebar by the Old Gods, has been carried off the battlefield on his shield (he retired, he’s not dead.)

Hockey is officially back! With a couple games in the books for each California team, Joey and Penn take a quick look at how their teams have started their 2016-17 campaign. Also discussed: several upcoming changes to the podcast, the dreamy Auston Matthews and Penn's wisdom teeth. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -Long Beach Native Emerson Etem is back in Anaheim: http://www.latimes.com/sports/ducks/la-sp-ducks-emerson-etem-20161013-snap-story.html
The regular season is starting! This week, your hosts take a look at several big news stories surrounding the Oilers, make slightly outdated analyses of the Ducks and Sharks’ training camps, and try to make the Kings feel more included in this California-based podcast. Penn, being the one writing these shownotes, also has the added job-perk of being able to dedicate this episode to the one and only Dan Boyle, who retired this week. Also the Oilers just signed Kris Russel, making the discussion that took place during a segment of this show pretty much obsolete. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 - There were some surprises in the first round of Sharks roster cuts: http://www.fearthefin.com/2016/10/3/13151634/sharks-trim-20-from-training-camp-roster-place-two-others-on-waivers -Rumors continue to abound about Lindholm and Rakell’s contract situations, but Joey is optimistic: http://mynhltraderumors.com/nhl-rumors-lindholm-anaheim-ducks-blackhawks-flyers/2016/10/07/ -Dan Boyle is now retired.

Congratulations Team Europe! Your second place finish is a much bigger accomplishment than the nicest Evil Empire’s victory, so you should feel proud. With the World Cup of Hockey in the rearview mirror, Joey and Penn turn their attention to the NHL Preseason. Lindholm and Rakell still haven’t signed, Timo Meier is out for four weeks with mononucleosis, and the Sharks keep winning their preseason games 3-2 in overtime. If you think the Ducks or Sharks have things to complain about, you’re obviously not an Ottawa Senators fan or Clarke MacArthur. Also, Joey went to a game!

The World Cup of Hockey’s group stage is over. There were winners among the losers and losers among the losers. On this episode, Penn and Joey gush over Team North America, deride Team USA, and give a well deserved nod of the head/raising of the eyebrows to Team (Rest of) Europe. Just as the World Cup is ending, NHL hockey is right around the corner: preseason hockey starts this Tuesday and the regular season follows not too long after. Also: Aftonbladet’s journalistic integrity is called into question and a shocking revelation is made about Joey’s hockey fandom. CLARIFICATION: When Penn refers to Tyler Johnson’s great season, he MAY have been biased by what was an outstanding postseason at the end of a mediocre regular season. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 - Check out Finland’s glorious goal-scoring highlight reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBcmc_wie-E - Here are Phil Kessel and Bobby Ryan’s tweets in response to Team USA’s elimination: https://twitter.com/b_ryan9/status/778561054078971905?s=09 https://twitter.com/PKessel81/status/778426548651163648 -Here are the preseason schedules for the Ducks: https://www.nhl.com/ducks/news/ducks-announce-2016-preseason-schedule/c-886167 and Sharks: https://www.nhl.com/sharks/news/sharks-announce-2016-preseason-schedule/c-886247 if you want to try to catch a game before the regular season even starts! -Hopefully not our last link to Aftonbladet, our favorite Swedish Rumor-Rag, this time discussing the possibility of Rakell going to the KHL :http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/hockey/internationellt/nhl/article23583384.ab -Brent Burns’ son thinks his dad is aight, but his hero is somebody else: http://www.calgarysun.com/2016/09/20/eric-francis-no-trouble-in-brent-burns-household-with-young-son-cheering-for-calgary-flames-star-johnny-gaudreau - Hopefully the miniature beef between Couture and Crosby is over: https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/777560522216579073
The World Cup of Hockey has started (for real this time.) Penn and Joey make predictions that have already been proven wrong, talk about some of the best Sharks/Ducks related plays of the World Cup, and address a piece of constructive criticism. Also discussed: Sami Salo’s unfortunate injury some years ago, relationship problems between Subban and Price, and the possibility of a 2018 Winter Olympics without any involvement of the NHL. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com or at https://www.facebook.com/cahockeytalk/ if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -Ovechkin has basically dared the NHL to pull out of the Olympics: https://mobile.twitter.com/Real_ESPNLeBrun/status/776494351052632065 http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ovechkin-says-hes-playing-in-2018-olympics-critical-of-world-cup-192419182.html -IIHF page explaining the qualification process for the 2018 Olympic Hockey Tournament: http://www.iihf.com/home-of-hockey/championships/olympics/ - Article detailing the death of Pavel Lainka and how to donate to the fund for his girlfriend/unborn child: http://scoutingtherefs.com/2016/09/14353/czech-referee-dies-hit-puck/ -If you want to read about the tragedy that befell Sami Salo some time ago: http://www.sbnation.com/2010/5/10/1465351/sami-salo-ruptured-testicle-canucks-blackhawks-hospital -The NHL will be adding more 3rd party concussion spotters to monitor players and remove them from games if they appear to be concussed: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl-adding-more-concussion-spotters-1.567101 - The Panthers are kooky: http://thehockeywriters.com/florida-panthers-using-white-pucks-in-practice/ -Something about these comments from Carey Price rubbed us the wrong way: http://www.hockeyinsideout.com/news/carey-price-says-p-k-subban-simply-didnt-fit-into-canadiens-system -List of new Ducks numbers: https://twitter.com/icemancometh/status/776500616629628929 - Old video of many current NHLers as 10 year olds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfKDycaTSlE&feature=youtu.be&t=43 -Thornton nails Kesler: https://gfycat.com/DependableJaggedGoldeneye -Getzlaf beats Bobrovsky in OT after a great pass from Brent Burns: https://streamable.com/kwwe -Rakell is back in the hospital with gastrointestinal problems (article in Swedish): http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/hockey/landslag/worldcup/article23527261.ab -Sharks rookie camp rosters: http://sharks.nhl.com/v2/ext/PDF/2016-Rookie-Roster.pdf and http://sharks.nhl.com/v2/ext/PDF/2016-U50-Roster.pdf -Ducks rookie camp roster: http://ducks.nhl.com/v2/ext/2016RookieCampRoster.pdf
Joey and Penn dislike John Tortorella. Like, a lot. Football makes an appearance in this hockey podcast, two NHL teams have new captains, the Las Vegas franchise has yet another name possibility, and something admirable –instead of crazy– happened in the KHL. Finally, the World Cup of Hockey is underway! What’s that? It’s just pre-tournament games?

Technical issues abound in this week’s episode of CHT. Speaking from three different times separated by outbursts directed at uncooperative audio tech, Joey and Penn break down all your Knights-related news, discuss a barrier just broken down in the NHL, and gush over Hampus Lindholm. Also on the docket: another Shark and Duck have made it onto World Cup rosters and the Sharks may need to find another assistant coach.

On this episode, Penn and Joey finally have some substantial Ducks/Sharks news to talk about, Penn revels in the fact that the Vesey saga is over, and Joey doesn’t like Penn’s mouthnoises. Because it’s a short episode, the hosts also stuck around and blathered about Joey’s new employment with [COMPANY REDACTED] and other stuff. Feel free to skip it.

Joey and Penn discuss the week’s news, argue about Jonathan Drouin and grasp at any Sharks/Ducks news they can find. Also on the docket: More insanity from the KHL, this time of the negative variety; Patrick Roy is no longer Colorado’s head coach, and it WASN’T because he was fired; and Las Vegas probably won’t be the Knights.

Episode 5: The Floydian Swift Following a very unfamiliar-feeling week of not recording a podcast, Joey and Penn return to pick through the meager news and try to put on a show. Fortunately, there’s a great Russian penalty shot goal to be watched repeatedly, Wideman’s back in the news, metaphorical shots were fired (good naturedly) at Subban’s charity gala, and a couple Sharks wrote Players’ Tribune articles. -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -You can follow us on twitter @CAHockeyTalk or contact us at cahockeytalk@gmail.com if you want to send in questions, topics you want covered, or just write nonsensical manifestos that we’ll probably read anyway. -Listen on stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cahockeytalk/california-hockey-talk?refid=stpr -Or find us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/california-hockey-talk/id1135318109?mt=2 -Mrazek and Red Wings agree to new bridge deal. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/red-wings-mrazek-avoid-arbitration-2-year-8m-pact/ -Patrick Eaves and Dan Ellis have words, Carter Hutton is a very friendly man.

It’s the year of the Rangers as Penn and Joey discuss NYR more than their own perspective teams. Matthews has finally signed his ELC, quieting the tin-foil enthusiasts who saw him signing elsewhere. Almost literally nothing happened with the Sharks and Ducks, but we talked about it anyway. I (Penn) have a cold, which is why I sound tired and despondent. But the real question of the week: is one of your hosts secretly a dog? -Intro: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Sportsreel -Outro http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dave_Depper/Compositions_3/Swagger_1 -Joey was wrong, no need to worry about capitalization in emails!

If this were whatever the equivalent of a podcast was in Elizabethan times, the alternate title would be “Tons of Terrible Technical Trouble” (in curly, auld-fashioned type.) Trapped in the hellish, post-apocalyptic wasteland that is the NHL offseason, Penn and Joey ration out the meager news from across the league and the Pacific division before looking with hockey-starved eyes towards the Ducks’ and Sharks’ prospect development camps. Note: Technical difficulties led to a delay in recording and made the editing process nightmarish. This episode was recorded Saturday the 9th, so some things have happened since then… On the positive side of the news spectrum, we’re now on Stitcher!
