Mike and Doug again show their prowess in appropriating other people’s ideas; this time, they steal Puck Daddy’s “5 Things I’d Change About the NHL.”  In Sharks news, they briefly discuss the Jeff Friesen situation, and take a listener email about season tickets.

This time around, Mike and Doug reprise the “Who’s Not Done” segment, but for the eastern conference.  But all isn’t rosy on the horizon- an email is addressed that questions the Sharks future defensive prospects.  At the end, more Sharks trivia, now becoming a regular part of the show.

The numbers for the latest podcast are much lower than usual, and I realized this morning it’s because I didn’t mention it here.  As an avid RSS user both with blog feeds and podcast feeds, I hope all you out there in the series of tubes are keen to the wonders of automatic XML-driven updating.  We release the podcast every Wednesday, rain or shine, but I will keep reminding y’all.

Anyway, the latest podcast is about a couple of articles that raise various questions about the Sharks, and we take a couple of emails later in the show.  Especially now, we can use ideas for things to talk about, so if there are any topics you want us to weigh in on, either about the Sharks or other NHL topics, please email us here.

This week Mike and Doug discuss a couple of different articles written about some Sharks.  First, they discuss Allen Muir of si.com’s view that Joe Thornton should be left off the 2010 Olympic team.  After debunking that idea, they discuss an article in the Hockey News written about Douglas Murray, and his potential unrestricted free agency in 2009.

New episode here.  We did have some business to attend to in the Clowe signing and the Vlasic extension report, but the rest of the show was taken up with the trivial (trivia questions) and non-trivial (listener emails).

Newest episode here.  As last week, most of the ideas for the show came from you, the listeners.  I know it’s not a real hip-hop-happening time in hockey right now, but it’s a good opportunity to discuss those issues that aren’t particularly affected by whether Mark Parrish has been bought out or not.
