On the Sharks podcast with Mary Lisa:

#1 No one at the San Jose Sharks wants to admit it but as veteran names like Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski, and Patrick Marleau are former experienced Sharks. The Sharks as an organization have refused to call themselves a third year rebuilding team.

#2 Mary Lisa training camp opens on Thursday there will be a lot of free agents, new players, minor league players, some trying to make the roster as Sharks general manager Doug Wilson and head coach Bob Boughner will be keeping a careful out to see who make be of help for the upcoming season.

#3 The Sharks will open the pre season schedule with a pair split squad games this Sunday night one to be played at the T Mobile Center in Las Vegas against the Knights which you will be covering and the other at the Honda Center in Anaheim against the Ducks Pearl Lo will have that game covered. A couple of games that Boughner will be watching carefully.

#4 The San Jose Sharks have announced that they will broadcasting at least one game in Spanish on TV and streaming on their website on Sat Oct 30th when the Sharks host the Winnipeg Jets at SAP Center in San Jose. At the mic for all the play by play Jesus Zerate and color analyst Amaury Pi Gonzalez. Zerate is the San Francisco 49ers play by play Spanish announcer and Pi Gonzalez is the Oakland A’s lead Spanish radio play by play announcer.

#5 Still up in the air Evander Kane who was the team’s leading scorer in 2020-21 had been cleared for not betting on hockey or ie not enough evidence to prove it. There are unnamed players who do not want Kane back. Kane was accused by his wife Anna that he bet on hockey and Sharks games. The NHL investigation had turned up nothing to prove Kane bet on hockey. Kane is expected to still be a topic of discussion that could become a distraction this season in the dressing room.
