NHL on Racism, Playoff Format Announced, Season Review - The Pucknologists 103 - a podcast by San Jose Sharks

The Pucknologists have some things to say! In this episode, we discuss several topics about the San Jose Sharks, the NHL, the response to the George Floyd murder, and more such as…

- 24 NHL team format will include best of 5 Qualifying rounds. All four rounds of the playoffs best of 7’s, reseeding after each round. Highest seed vs lowest seed in each conference. 2 hub cities, each conf gets one.
- The Sharks have quietly updated their website
- Lukas Radil Signs With Spartak In KHL
- The 2019-20 regular season is officially complete for awards and recording-keeping purposes
- Hahn, Baker, Hedi and Coyne do a season review
- There have been recent zoom calls on the Sharks site with players such as Logan Couture, Tomas Hertl, and Brent Burns as well as Mario Ferraro and Erik Karlsson. For the most part, players spin it as '"we'll learn from this, insert another cliche". For all the talk of being a diva, EK did himself no favors showing up late with a crying baby.
- Recent comments from Bob Boughner and Martin Jones appear to echo comments we've heard since the start of the season regarding turmoil with the team.
- Evander Kane takes part in racism special on NBCSN Bay Area. Kane also calls out Sidney Crosby and others. Also retweets debunked video. Owner Hasso Platter issues statement of support for Kane.
- Kendall Coyne Schofield tweets positive statement, admitting not knowing what taking a knee meant 4 years ago. Is this a non-apology apology? PR move?
- Other players including Couture and EK65 post message on social media., but will anything actually change? We've seen protest before... Rodney King, Oscar Grant, etc... and has much changed?
- Thoughts on our recent interview with Doug Wilson
- NHL teams address racism on social media in light of George Floyd murder. Some do well, some don't and why are some players more eloquent than a pro PR team?
- The draft lottery for the 2020 NHL draft will include the seven teams that didn't qualify for the 24-team playoff tournament + the eight teams eliminated in the qualifying round.
- Vegas unveils minor league team in Henderson... Silver Knights. Star Wars nerds point out logo looks like general Grievous
- ESPN's Max Kellerman trashes hockey ... we respond
