On the San Jose Sharks podcast with Mary Lisa:

#1 Brandon Montour scored two of four of the Seattle Kraken second period goals and the Kraken picked up a convincing victory over the San Jose Sharks 6-2 at Climate Pledge Arena on Thursday night.

#2 For the Sharks Carl Grundstrom and Tyler Toffoli each scored and they were all the scoring that the Sharks would get all evening.

#3 The loss for the Sharks is their sixth in their last seven games. When you look at the loses piling up how much pressure how much work and how many drills during morning skates will head coach Ryan Warsofsky have to push to get the club in the win column.

#4 There was no doubt that when the Sharks dropped the puck against the Kraken they came into a buzz saw as the Kraken have now won 12 out of their last 13 games with at least four goals per game.

#5 The Sharks will try it all over again on Tuesday night against the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs have struggled they have lost four in a row and have not won in six of their last ten games. This could be the Sharks best chance to get back in the win column. The Sharks have lost eight of their last ten games.

San Jose Sharks general manager Mike Grier meets with the news media on Tue Jul 5, 2022 at his introduction to the team. Grier has made a number of moves this past week (Tue Jul 4, 2023) and the possibility of moving Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson (AP News file photo)

On the SJ Sharks podcast with Troy:

#1 Troy, San Jose Sharks Erik Karlsson is a three time Norris Award winner and teams as well as the Sharks are shopping him but there are no takers because teams are concerned about cap space in obtaining Karlsson who makes $11.5 million yearly and has three more seasons left on his contract running through the 2026-27 season.

#2 Teams that might make it work are the Pittsburgh Penguins or the Seattle Kraken. While the Penguins could show interest, the Carolina Panthers might have space issues but the Kraken have the cap room and the budget to take Karlsson off the Sharks hands. Either way Karlsson would be competitive playing for any one of these teams.

#3 Troy talk about how important it is for the Sharks to have signed forward Nathan Todd, Todd comes to the Sharks after playing 16 games for the AHL Springfield Thunderbirds with eight goals and six assists. Sharks general manager Mike Grier signed Todd because he was big on helping the Thunderbirds get into the Calder Cup in 2022 and was named the 2020-21 All Star team scoring 12 goals and 20 assists.

#4 This week the Sharks picked up defenseman Leon Gwanke in exchange for defenseman Artemi Kniazev. Gwanke 24, had a strong showing last season skating for the AHL Manitoba Moose scoring 20 goals and 25 assists coming from the Winnipeg Jets organization.

#5 Making his second stint with the San Jose Sharks signed forward Ryan Carpenter to a one year two way contract. Carpenter formerly played for the New York Rangers scoring last season 21 goals and 23 assists. Carpenter played with the Sharks in the 2013-14 season to 2017-18. Troy talk about how big of help Carpenter will be for San Jose this season.

On the NHL podcast with Matt Harrington:

#1 The Seattle Kraken’s Haydn Fleury picked up his first two goal game of his career as Seattle won it’s third game of the season against the Minnesota Wild 4-1.

#2 Carolina Hurricanes get a 3-0 shutout and win their first six games the best start in their team history at 6-0-0. The Canes goaltender Frederik Andersen stopped 33 shots by the Boston Bruins. The Hurricanes are doing so well that Andersen became the seventh goaltender in NHL history to win each of the Hurricanes first six games to start the year.

#3 The Colorado Avalanche edged the St Louis Blues 4-3 at the Enterprise Center in St Louis. The Aves got help from J.T. Compher who scored two goals. It was the first time the Blues have lost a game this season.

#4 The Calgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom saved 45 shots against the Pittsburgh Penguins for a shutout at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh for the Flames fifth win of the season. The Flames are in first place in the Pacific division getting a 4-0 win.

#5 The resignation of former Florida Panthers head coach Joel Quenneville sent shockwaves throughout the NHL. Quenneville was head coach in 2010 of the Chicago Blackhawks when Kyle Beach made claims of being sexually assaulted by assistant coach Brad Aldrich. Aldrich threatened Beach that if he reported the assault his NHL career would be over. Beach went ahead and made the complaints and nothing really was done about it as the Blackhawks were focusing on winning the Stanley Cup at the time.
