Circling the Cup » Podcasts ·

2026/04/21

The season is over. The young players mostly got better. The old vets mostly stank it up. General Manager Mike Grier stood pat at the trade deadline, choosing not to actually manage. And so, the Sharks end up with the 9th overall draft slot and out of the playoffs. We talk about all this and […]

CTC Podcast 224 – The Kurashev Supremacy

Circling the Cup » Podcasts ·

2025/11/03

Phillip Kurashev is a very good NHL player and the Chicago Blackhawks were morons to let him go for nothing.

CTC Podcast 220 – Successful Failure

Circling the Cup » Podcasts ·

2025/04/22

Tank Admiral Grier has led the Sharks to last place two years running. We’re not mad about it. We talk about the season that was, the players that we’d like to see picked with 1st, 2nd, or 3rd (please god no god nooooo) overall in the coming draft, and the better product that we hope […]

2024/07/08

First, apologies for the early sound issues in this podcast. Restream told me it was using a specific mic input when it wasn’t. So you get to hear me make coffee while Alex tries to monologue. Oops. But we fixed that eventually. After that we talked at length about the draft, the Warsy hire, free […]
