On the NHL podcast with Mary Lisa:
#1 Mary Lisa welcome back on your first NHL podcast of the 2021 season. The NHL has plans to open the season up with outdoor hockey in Lake Tahoe. It will consist of two games that will not involve the San Jose Sharks nor fans.
#2 How ready and how good is the plan that the NHL has to make this season safe for the players. The teams will be traveling within their own divisions can they pull it off like they did in post season last year?
#3 The San Jose Sharks are opening their first ten games on the road. They’ll play two games in five different cities. Is this format a good adjustment in terms of the Sharks won’t have to play just one game and try and catch a flight but just stay in a town a couple nights before leaving for the next road game?
#4 The newest acquisition of the Washington Capital Zdeno Charo will be playing a bigger role with the Caps. Charo who left the Boston Bruins says he will get more playing time and will be able to contribute as much or more like when he was the Bruins.
#5 Mary Lisa talk about Patrick Marleau who comes back to the San Jose Sharks for third time after playing in Toronto and last season with Pittsburgh. What does his return mean for the Sharks and for Marleau personally?
