Locked On Sharks
Is Erik Karlsson Still Sharks’ Best Awards Candidate?
Kyle and JD try to win you some money! We look at some NHL odds (provided by BetOnline.Ag) to win each division and look at some dark horses in the East (2:30), Central (6:30), North (9:00), and West (12:30). Then we discuss Stanley Cup odds (14:00) and why Montreal could be a sneaky choice to win it all. What, did you expect us to say the San Jose Sharks? Finally, we slide over to the NHL Awards and look at why Nathan MacKinnon could be a candidate to win you some cash. We discuss the Art Ross (20:00), Calder (21:30), Hart (23:30), Norris (24:30) Rocket Richard (26:45), and Vezina (29:15). Find out why we think Erik Karlsson might be the under-the-radar San Jose Sharks’ awards pick! Check out the podcast on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
