On the SJ Sharks podcast with Len:

#1 The San Jose Sharks pay homage to the United Center Sunday night and the Chicago Blackhawks. The Hawks have lost nine of their last 10 games, including a game that went thud for them against the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night in a 4-3 overtime loss. What has been the problems for the Hawks?

#2 The Hawks had won three Stanley Cups between 2010-2015, but they’re a different team now and with their losing streak, the Sharks, who have been gaining a full head of steam, could pretty much put this game away on Sunday.

#3 The Blackhawks fired their head coach Joel Quenneville on November 6th. Talk has it that Qunneville and team general manager Stan Bowman did not get along. Since the firing the Hawks have been 6-6-1 under new head coach Jeremy Colliton, but the loses are mounting.

#4 For the San Jose Sharks’ Timo Mieier has had the hot hand and has had multiple goal games and the Sharks are going hot, winning five out of their last six games.

#5 The Sharks’ Martin Jones has been the difference maker during the win streak for San Jose and has been protecting the net and on some nights standing on his head.
