With no NHL hockey in the past week, the Dudes turn their attention to the Olympic tournament.  The marquee game so far has been the US beating Russia in a game for the ages.  Canada and Sweden also look like medal contenders, with Finland also playing well.  The Dudes review the Sharks participating, and try to predict the next two rounds.

The Sharks have gone 3-1 since the last podcast, but the Dudes are somehow glass-half-full about it, since they coughed up third period leads to Colorado and Phoenix, and got crushed in Anaheim.  But they still have the 5th best record in the NHL, and hope springs eternal in the new year.

The Sharks still can’t get any consistency, losing to a bad Nashville team on the road, and barely beating Dallas at home.  But they did beat Minnesota and St. Louis, so the Dudes still don’t know what to think.

After a great homestand, the Sharks go on a terrible road trip, and finish with a loss to the lowly Islanders at home.  Because of the ups and downs of this season already, the Dudes are unsurprised.

The Sharks go 5-0 at home against some very good teams, beating St. Louis, L.A., and Anaheim.  Not all the wins were exactly in the manner the Dudes would have liked, but it’s hard to argue with 10 straight points.
