The Dudes marvel this week at an entertaining an fun Teal and White game, the first time they could see Brent Burns, and many young players wearing the Sharks’ colors.  Mike and Doug continue their season preview with the Central division, and finish up with NHL news, including the lack of a Drew Doughty contract.

Lots of stuff happening, with the season drawing nearer, but the Dudes start with injuries, and the deal that didn’t happen- Kyle Wellwood, originally reported as signing with the Sharks, but actually with Winnipeg. Lots of other news with Brad Winchester, young stars, and NHL news.  Mike and Doug still have enough time to preview the Atlantic division.

For those of you that want to join one of our fantasy leagues, here is the info.  Please only sign up for one league initially, so everyone that wants to play can.

UPDATE: ALL LEAGUES WERE FULL SO A FOURTH LEAGUE HAS BEEN ADDED. WE WILL NEED 10 PLAYERS MINIMUM TO MAKE THE LEAGUE HAPPEN. SEE YOU THERE!

UPDATE: The fourth league is full. That’s it for this year. May the best “dude” win.

Mike and Doug start on a solemn note, and talk about the terrible tragedy that befell the Locomotiv KHL team in Russia.  It’s hard to take it back to more trivial matters, but the season previews do start this week with the Northeast and Southeast divisions.

Thanks to my main man Bryce, we now have some desktop wallpapers of the Sharks’ 2011-2012 schedule.  Four different backgrounds in two sizes.  I’m partial to the diamond fin myself.

With the Couture and other NHL news coming in, it’s back to awesome hockey.  And Patrick Deggelman joins the podcast as the winner of a DOH fantasy league, which are due to start up again.

Now that Brent Burns has signed a 5-year extension, the Dudes can give him a proper welcome, and really compare him to other defensemen out there an their contracts.  Also, Mike and Doug identify 10 players that are still out there, somewhat surprisingly, and identify their favorites.  Finally, the Shea Weber saga is discussed, and the wisdom of the Preds to let it drag out so long.
