On the Sharks podcast with Len:

#1 After winning six straight games, the San Jose Sharks (34-17-7) snapped their win streak to the Washington Capitals (32-19-7) in San Jose. Was this lost mostly due to the long road trip or or the Caps came in well-prepared for the Sharks?

#2 The win was a four-goal 5-1 victory for Washington and Caps star Alexander Ovechkin scored his 39th goal of the season. He’s a force on the Caps offense

#3 From the start there was little doubt the Caps were not only large and in charge and the NHL’s reigning champs, but found the back end of the net twice in the first and second periods.

#4 The Caps got two goals from TJ Oshie, who scored his 17th and 18th goals of the season in the first and second periods.

#5 The Sharks welcome the Vancouver Canucks (26-26-7) this Saturday for a 7 pm faceoff at SAP Center. The last time the two teams met the Sharks clobbered the Canucks 7-2 in Vancouver last Monday at Rogers Arena.

On the NBA podcast with Jerry:

#1 Golden State were without Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston, and DeMarcus Cousins for Wednesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers. How much of a load was it for the rest of the team in the loss to the Blazers 129-107?

#2 How exhausted is the team playing its fifth game in eight days?

#3 In the second and third quarters, neither team gave in. It was a tough bout, noting that the Warriors held a five-point lead at most and the Blazers had a six-point lead.

#4 Draymond Green had been hit with a flagrant foul, resulting in head coach Steve Kerr getting thrown out on two technicals.

#5 The Warriors host the Sacramento Kings on Feb. 21st and the Kings could be a handful at times this season.

Headline Sports with Tony Renteria: Harper not in Giants camp, so still anyone’s guess where he’s going

Published on February 14, 2019 by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

washingtonpost.com file photo: Washington Nationals pitcher Sean Doolittle left and Bryce Harper right bump gloves last season. Harper is currently looking for a deal that fits his expectations including no short-term deals.

On Headline Sports podcast with Tony:

#1 Baseball’s biggest free agent Bryce Harper, who just talked with the San Francisco less than two weeks ago, is still looking for a big league club to sign with

#2 Harper was nowhere near Scottsdale for the Giants camp, while his name was dropped as a possibility. No one, but maybe himself knows what he’s up to.

#3 With Kyler Murray deciding on football, what do you think the odds are that he could play with the Oakland Raiders and stay a two-sport player and play for the A’s’?

#4 The A’s badly missed pitchers Jharel Cotton and A.J. Puk are returning after Cotton and Puk were out for most of last season after having Tommy John surgery.

#5 The Oakland Raiders are very close to getting a deal done with the Oakland Coliseum Authority. The Raiders, who vowed not to play at the Coliseum after last season, had no choice but to come back after the San Francisco Mayor London Breed gave the San Francisco Giants the message that the Raiders should stay in Oakland and talked about traffic issues if the team were to play it’s final season in San Francisco.

On the San Jose Sharks podcast with Mary Lisa:

#1 The Sharks take a six-game win streak into the game with the Washington Capitals on Thursday night. The Sharks beat the Caps back on Tues., Jan. 22 to start this winning streak.

#2 The Caps had such a great run last season winning the Cup. They’ve currently have been playing .500 hockey, going 4-4 in their last eight games. Are they a .500 team or are they better than that?

#3 The Sharks will face Alex Ovechkin, who has set some records for a Russian player. Will Ovechkin be one player that can’t be contained or have the Sharks handled him pretty good in past games?

#4 The Sharks had a successful road swing through western Canada with wins over the Winnipeg Jets, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, and Vancouver Canucks.

#5 What has been working best for San Jose? Joe Thornton and his point-setting records, goals from that wild scoring contest Monday night in Vancouver by Evander Kane (2), Melker Karlsson, Kevin LeBanc, Timo Meier, Tomas Hertl and Joe Pavelski.
