The stars were aligned at Tech CU Arena for the 2024 AHL Classic which saw San Jose get to shine as the thriving hockey market that it is... On the 4th February the Skills Competition took place which saw the Western Conference win by 18-13 with players from the Central & Pacific Divisions winning three of the events On the 5th February it was a tense All Star Challenge with all but one of the seven games decided by either one goal or finishing a tie but in the end the Pacific wins for the second year in a row As well as looking back on all of the action I also run down the rosters of all four division's all stars and give my reaction on the jerseys worn over the weekend And finish off this special by reading a special news article that the AHL published regarding San Jose hosting the event

It was a day we weren't sure if it was ever going to come but our captain Logan Couture finally returned to the lineup and it was like he had never been away as 2024 got off to quite a rollercoaster of a start as there are slow signs of improvements Cuda Corner however was filled with misery as it was a very tough month for the Barracuda which saw them go on a nine game losing streak including their two day break in Charlotte which they went to for the first time since 2015 This month's edition of the WestWatch proved to be quite eventful as Seattle gave me my favourite Winter Classic, Anaheim got involved in a sticky trade with the Flyers and the PWHL silenced the doubters with record breaking attendance Email us at [email protected]

I've always thought that one day this team might be the death of me and as 2023 came to a close that is exactly what the Sharks tried to do with having to bring some stellar perfromances coming back multiple times Over at Cuda Cornner it was less stressful for me however for the Barracuda it was no rest for the week as the majority of their December fixtures were back to back something that needs to be seriously addressed for a development league Amd on this month's WestWatch we vent at The Sphere being awarded the last ever NHL Draft, pick our jaws off the floor from Craig Berube's shock firing by the Blues and warm our hearts at Abbostsford's good deeds Don't forget our sister show Purple Reign has now launched covering everything going on in the PWHL for Minnesota, listen wherever you get your podcasts Email us at [email protected]

The puck drop on the inagural season of the Professional Womens Hockey League and this bonus edition of Teal Report sees us introduce our brand new sister show Purple Reign...

The Sharks got royally canucked in November as they hit an almighty new low with back to back games where they gave up ten goals and whilst the team finally got some wins there's still a lot of improvement needed Over in Cuda Corner the Barracuda had multiple firsts including their first ever victories over both the Calgary Wranglers and Coachella Valley Firebirds and saw the Charlotte Checkers for the first time since their inagural season This month's WestWatch sees us check in on how Minnesota fared in Stockholm, try not to laugh at the surname of Edmonton's new coach and thanks to the Golden Brats I reveal where my party colors lie

Well, well, well in all my years I don't think I can recall a worse start to the San Jose Sharks season as they come away from the first month of the 2023/24 season without a single win It was relevantly quiet in terms of news from our conference but the WestWatch is open for business as we recap the Battle of Alberta going outdoors, disdain at Vegas' banner ceremony and go to the PWHL for some exciting news from Minnesota Over on Cuda Corner the Barracuda met some old friends that they hadn't seen since the 2017/18 season the Blackhawks affiliates Rockford Ice Hogs before facing tough tests from Henderson and Coachella Valley Email us at [email protected]

I'm in a bad mood with both Colorado teams as the Avalanche were responsible for ending the Sharks win streak whilst the Eagles killed the Barracuda's chances of making it into this year's Calder Cup Playoffs as they miss out by the slimist of margins We will digest all of the highs, lows and heartbreak in the final set of Lookbacks and Cuda Corner of the season as the action winds down as both teams first season of the Evolve and Resurgence Eras come to a close The WestWatch is finally back as we look ahead to the Stanley Cup Playoffs by previewing the Western Conference and make that bold prediction on who will represent our conference in the Stanley Cup Finals come June And we finish the show with the final trip down Teal Lane as we reminisce on our preseason show which has become a recent edition to the podcast Don't forget you can send us your thoughts by emailing us at [email protected] we would love to hear from you
