  • Go sharks.

    J. D. Comma Young. For a guy who’s been doing multiple podcasts for years you shouldn’t sound like a kid doing a presentation on a book you didn’t read. Most points are repeated two or three times. And you use almost the exact same list of questions for every guest. I’m tired of hearing about monsters who don’t wear socks. A gazillion percent! Maybe make show outline!? Nevertheless I’m a fiend for content and I’ll listen everyday. Thanks for the work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Speedrunning The Offseason With Summoning Salt | Playoffs For 2026-27?
Q: What was your reaction to Macklin Celebrini's extension and the reported 18.8 million figure?
The guests agree it's a lot of money, but when you compare it to the cap trajectory and the big-picture goal of keeping a generational talent around, it's a reasonable investment that preserves room for other young players and signals a commitment to a winning window.
EXCEPTIONAL STATUS: San Jose Sharks’ Michael Misa OPENS UP on OHL & Rookie Season In NHL
Q: What does a typical development day look like in San Jose for you?
It starts with arriving at the rink, video work, some on-ice drills with Reach and the staff, then practicing, and finishing with a light meal and staying loose to keep sharp for the next session.
EXCEPTIONAL STATUS: San Jose Sharks’ Michael Misa OPENS UP on OHL & Rookie Season In NHL
Q: What was the most memorable moment in your junior career before turning pro?
Facing Sidney Crosby in a competitive setting and taking a meaningful face-off against him stood out as surreal and a defining moment early in my career.
EXCEPTIONAL STATUS: San Jose Sharks’ Michael Misa OPENS UP on OHL & Rookie Season In NHL
Q: When did you realize hockey could be a real path for you and not just a fun pastime?
I felt it after applying for exceptional status and then entering the OHL; I saw the potential to turn a dream into a path, especially after playing with older players and proving I could handle the jump.
MUST-DRAFT: Why San Jose Sharks Should TARGET Malte Gustafsson in the NHL Draft's First Round
Q: What do you want to see Gustafsson work on to become a star defensive defenseman?
I'd like to see him take more offensive risks, improve his skating edges and lateral movement, and continue to refine his stick skills to better support the transition game, while maintaining his elite defensive instincts.
