Mike and Doug finish all preseason talk with more salary cap discussions, and a Pacific division preview.  Although the season has technically started, and a little bit of discussion is warranted about the Rangers and Penguins games, Sharks fans know the season doesn’t really start until October 9 with Sharks vs. Ducks.

Here.  A day late since I was out of town, but we address the many issues facing the Sharks, and continue the season preview.  We are so ready for the preseason conjecture to end (although we are as guilty as anyone) and the regular season to begin.

After months of no hockey, the Sharks are back with their annual intrasquad exhibition game, Teal and White.  Mike and Doug discuss what happened, and what might be taken away from such a game.  Next they address the most pressing issue facing the Sharks, and the question of several listener emails, the Sharks salary cap situation.  After discussing some options there, the season preview continues with the Central division.

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.
