In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

Debating Sharks' Next Step With JD Young | E85 1:48:04

1:48:04

The San Jose Hockey Now Podcast is sponsored by Bring Hockey Back ! Keegan, Sheng, and JD Young team up to form a three-headed GM monster! (28:01) We discuss the next step of the San Jose Sharks’ rebuild with the Locked On Sharks host. But before we get to JD, we talk about the San Jose Barracuda’s playoff run and preview their series against the Colorado Eagles. Patrick Williams of the AHL and FloHockey shares insight on Barracuda-Eagles. (16:55) And now, JD Young! (28:01) What’s the strategy if the San Jose Sharks get the No. 1 pick? Who would we pick at No. 2 or 3, if the Sharks lose the Draft Lottery? (44:45) Should the Sharks chase big UFA fish Mitch Marner? We each have a different opinion. (58:30) How should the San Jose Sharks improve the defense? JD has a smart under-the-radar suggestion. (1:17:12) What about in goal? Who should San Jose pair with Yaroslav Askarov? Sheng offers a fun (but wildly improbable) scenario. (1:31:40) Are there any sneaky trades that this three-headed monster would pursue?…

What’s Sharks’ Off-Season Direction? We React to Grier’s Exit Interview | E84 1:51:55

1:51:55

The San Jose Hockey Now Podcast is sponsored by Bring Hockey Back ! Mike Grier knows that the San Jose Sharks have to be better next year. We discuss Grier’s end-of-season availability, and the direction of the Sharks this off-season (3:12). If the San Jose Sharks get the No. 1 pick in the Draft Lottery, could they trade it? Grier revealed on Friday that he got massive offers for the 2024 first-overall that became Macklin Celebrini. We also made up huge offers from the Chicago Blackhawks and Carolina Hurricanes last year…would you have taken them? What’s next for the Sharks' free agents? (36:18) We discuss why Alexandar Georgiev didn’t work, besides the obvious, and what free agent goalies could make sense to pair with Yaroslav Askarov? Keegan had a good one. What do we think about the Nikolai Kovalenko situation? (57:00) What do we think of Grier being in no hurry to name a captain for the San Jose Sharks? Does moving Will Smith back to center preclude the Sharks from signing a center in free agency? Sheng doesn’t think so. (1:15:08) Speaking of, did Grier take the Sharks out of the Mitch Marner sweepstakes by saying that he’s not excited to offer seven or eight-year contracts to a free agent? (1:20:30)…

(16:14) Who does Keegan think will be the next captain of the Sharks? (18:50) Couture’s legacy as a Shark is probably being an all-time great playoff performer. (21:20) Who does Sheng think will be the next captain of the Sharks? (27:28) Sheng talks about Couture’s last game and post-game media session as a Shark in Jan. 2024, it was in Anaheim and he was there.

The San Jose Hockey Now Podcast is sponsored by Bring Hockey Back ! This week on San Jose Hockey Now: the NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone. What do we think of all the San Jose Sharks moves, including our thoughts on Walman and Zetterlund being traded? First we cover all the trades made by San Jose Sharks GM Mike Grier in the days leading up to the deadline (3:05). We discuss all the possible reasons behind the Jake Walman deal and why Grier seemingly sold a player at the peak of his value (4:08). The Zetterlund trade to Ottawa caused quite an outpouring of emotion from the fanbase. How do we see the value, both on and off the ice, that was traded with Zetterlund (18:35)?

Embrace_the_rebuild asked: What is your prediction for Kostin, Zetterlund, Kovalenko, and Mukhamadullin?

After the season ends?” Zeke asked: “Which younger players do you think it’s time for the San Jose Sharks to cut bait with sometime this season or off-season?” (1:25:55) FaultySynapse asked: “Who would be some free agents the organization should target this off-season?

Steven previews the World Junior Championships, and discusses the San Jose Sharks prospects who have made it...and some who didn’t. (1:03:46) But before we get to Steven, let’s talk about the San Jose Sharks’ week that was! William Eklund and Jake Walman are dealing with injuries…is there a concern? Yaroslav Askarov is here, because of Vitek Vanecek’s injury. San Jose Hockey Now has learned that the San Jose Sharks and Fabian Zetterlund have begun contract talks. (19:01) The Sharks took on Mackenzie Blackwood last week…why might he be a good match for the Colorado Avalanche and their style of play? We also discuss Shakir Mukhamadullin’s recent stretch of play, Luke Kunin hitting double-digit goals, and more. (34:03) What do we want the San Jose Sharks to get for Christmas? (56:10) Now, Steven Ellis talks Sharks prospects and World Juniors! (1:03:46) USA: Thoughts on Quentin Musty’s season? What’s Brandon Svoboda’s fit on the US roster?

The San Jose Hockey Now Podcast has had a week to sit on the Mackenzie Blackwood trade…and we still think it was a great trade for the San Jose Sharks! (1:03:36) But before we review why the trade was a great value, Keegan and Sheng discuss our recent impressions of the Sharks. How good is Macklin Celebrini? (01:55) Our thoughts on Shakir Mukhamadullin back in the NHL and more. (23:05) Keegan and Sheng aren’t on the same page with how the San Jose Sharks should’ve responded to Kevin Stenlund boarding Celebrini. (45:47) Let’s talk about the Blackwood trade! (1:03:36) Sheng shares the behind the scenes from finding out about the trade in real time in Florida. (1:04:37) Why, when we’re judging the trade, it doesn’t matter that Blackwood was originally acquired for just a sixth. (01:22:30) Sheng’s conclusion: Based on past goalie-centered trades, just a second-rounder would’ve been good value for Blackwood…but to get Nikolai Kovalenko on top of that? (01:25:00) Research into the past decade of goalie-centered trades suggests that you’re only getting a first or second for either a perceived “elite” goalie or a starter-in-waiting prospect type. At the moment, Blackwood is neither. NHL scouts share more thoughts about what the San Jose Sharks have got in Kovalenko. They also compare Kovalenko to Fabian Zetterlund. (01:36:58) Finally, we close with some thoughts about Alexandar Georgiev. (01:54:50)…

Should the San Jose Sharks have traded for David Jiricek? (1:23:35) Keegan and Sheng talk about it on this week’s episode of the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! But before we talk Jiricek, we chat about the latest San Jose Sharks’ news and their recent inspired play. What did we think of Joe Thornton’s jersey retirement? (04:45) We talk about Sharks prospects who were invited to their World Junior selection camps like Sam Dickinson and Brandon Svoboda -- and about prospects who aren’t going to World Juniors like Will Smith and Quentin Musty. (09:40) Meanwhile, the San Jose Sharks have been playing some good hockey. (25:33) We discuss Rookie of the Month and NHL 1st Star of the Week Macklin Celebrini, and what Sheng was worried that Will Smith was going to lose (but didn’t). Keegan runs a lap for Fabian Zetterlund around Timo Meier, and praises William Eklund. We credit GM Mike Grier for his veteran additions like Alex Wennberg, Jake Walman, and Timothy Liljegren. Obligatory Luke Kunin reference. (57:51) Keegan doesn’t think that Grier will trade Mackenzie Blackwood. (1:19:05) Finally, let’s talk David Jiricek! (1:23:35) Before Jiricek got traded to the Minnesota Wild, Sheng talked with a lot of his sources about Jiricek. What does the rest of the league think of Daemon Hunt and Jiricek?

It’s been an exciting summer for the San Jose Sharks! So it’s a good time for a pre-preseason subscriber’s mailbag! Thank you so much for subscribing! Go here if you haven’t subscribed yet! Ken Fischer: Now that Brodie Brazil is out at NBC, who are we going to get stuck with for Pre and Post-Game? (3:16) James R: Any recent chatter about Joe Pavelski joining the San Jose Sharks’ front office or coaching staff in some capacity? (6:15) Rothgar: What is Shakir Mukhamadullin’s preferred nickname? Flying Frenchman: Can you talk about the phases of a rebuild and where the Sharks are? (12:28) Bring Back Celebrini: Since Grier has taken over, he appears to have changed over about 60 percent of the organizational depth chart. Have you seen any other NHL club go through such a dramatic change in such a short period of time, and if so, how long did it take for those clubs to climb back into contention? (20:15) Chris Boucher: How do the Sharks get into the position where they’re contending for a playoff spot by the 2025-26 season? (33:36) Joshua: Who do you see as a realistic target for the Sharks to pursue or what position do you see them building upon? (39:50) SJShorky: Do you think Mike Grier makes some big purchases or acquisitions next summer? Matt Harrison: Who are some potential free agents or trade targets that you think may be on Grier’s radar in the next 1-3 years? Stephen Akerson: How do you each view the balance between tanking and establishing a winning culture these next few seasons? I find it tempting to keep chasing top-five picks, but obviously that has to change at some point. (55:38) Mark Bonham: Which top prospects are most likely to be on the opening night roster? (1:06:41) Lizbeth DeSelm: Not really a question, but a vision that is both exciting and terrifying. I can’t help but look at the Leon Draisaitl extension and looming Connor McDavid extension and feel like I am looking at issues the Sharks will be facing in eight years with Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith (or William Eklund or Sam Dickinson). (1:08:45) Meetyourmako: I was told that the San Jose Sharks’ goal horn is a foghorn taken from a decommissioned ship, I have been dying to know its provenance? Can you uncover the name of the ship that foghorn came from? Alaskan_ice: At this point, there are quite a lot of ex-Sharks players around the organization. Some have issues with this process, I like it. Do you think it’s a good idea to bring back people that wore teal? (1:14:20) TJ: Is there any concern that the Sharks alumni that Grier is hiring back, they never got over the hump and that may translate to the younger players they are developing? Always seemed like there was an element missing from those 2000s and 2010s teams despite all the success. sharkzilla : Is there anything in the works to get another guest on the show like Pierre McGuire/Jimmy Murphy again (or better yet Greg Wyshynski) talking about the current state of the Sharks’ rebuild? (1:19:42) Embrace_the_rebuild: How many more seasons would it take before Sharks get to the playoffs? Win a playoff series? (1:26:37) Gary To: What do you think is Mukhamadullin’s biggest skill-set and what is his weakest skill that he needs to work on? Jenna B: When should the holiday video return? Who is lowkey the funniest guy on the Sharks, staff or player? (1:36:25) jacob b: Is this the off-season the best in San Jose Sharks history? Steven Stoker: Is this the end of Logan Couture’s return? (1:51:18) David Gotlieb: Who are the best mascots? Patrick: Among the prospects, who are the potential busts? (2:00:10) Zeke: What happened to Yaroslav Askarov in the playoffs? Alex Genadinik: Who should the San Jose Sharks deal at the Trade Deadline? Any surprises there? Any Askarov-like trade targets for a young defenseman? (2:07:00) Eric Pichette: Who has the better offensive numbers this season, Eklund, Celebrini, or Smith? Matthias893: Have there been any indications the Sharks or NBC would be interested in a more direct streaming model? (2:19:55) Splash114: Of the veteran defensemen, who, if any, do you think will spend time with the Barracuda and/or on waivers? George West: What are the odds of Celebrini playing 1C for most of the year? And does Will Smith have a chance at being the 2C? (2:27:35) El Gato Joe: Why didn’t they buy out Vlasic? Chaz Marshall: Have the San Jose Sharks hired a Russia-based scout to replace Igor Eronko? (2:35:15) Fin Coe: What players have benefited or suffered from the Sharks’ system? How has the Luke Kunin trade aged? (2:36:48) Daniel Almaraz: With the announcement of Celebrini and Smith living with Thornton and Marleau respectively next season, I’m curious, have there been any other Sharks vet/rookie combos that we know about over the last couple years?…

Both Keegan and Sheng love this trade for the Sharks and GM Mike Grier on many levels. Why? Regardless, what are the concerns about Askarov? There are real questions. Also, is Askarov the best goaltending prospect in San Jose Sharks history? What about incumbent goalies Mackenzie Blackwood and Vitek Vanecek?

Marco Sturm joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! Sturm was 19 when he started in the NHL with fellow teenager Patrick Marleau -- a situation that the San Jose Sharks will see this fall with youngsters Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith -- and he recounts that experience. The current Ontario Reign head coach also shared some stories about being interviewed for the Sharks’ head coach job this summer. But before we get to Marco (1:13:24), we chat about the big Sharks news. On Sunday, the San Jose Sharks acquired Cody Ceci and a 2025 third-round pick from the Edmonton Oilers for Ty Emberson. Keegan was a lot colder on the trade than Sheng, Emberson being his big sticking point. (2:10) How did we grade the trade?

(1:13:24) Sturm talks about what it was like to enter the NHL with fellow teenager Patrick Marleau in 1997. (1:14:00) Who did Sturm live with? (1:19:30) Sturm talks about how important it was to have solid veteran leadership around he and Marleau. (1:21:53) Sturm had a great Sharks career, but he was also part of the biggest trade in franchise history, the Joe Thornton trade. Sturm recalls what he was going through personally at the time, and why he was upset with GM Doug Wilson about it for years. (1:25:55) Sturm was part of two painful Sharks playoff losses, 2002 against the Colorado Avalanche and 2004 against the Calgary Flames. He shares his memories of both, and says if the Sharks had made the 2004 Stanley Cup Final, that maybe he could’ve played. (1:33:40) What was special about the Shark Tank during the years Marco played? He says it's tough to see the Shark Tank attendance like it is now. (1:38:20) In 2018, Sturm, now Team Germany head coach, led Germany to an Olympic silver medal, their first top-three finish in either the Olympics or World Championships since 1976. He shares what he did to help take German hockey to another level. (1:43:05) When did Sturm realize that he wanted to be a head coach? It wasn’t during his playing career. (1:48:40) Sturm talks about being interviewed for San Jose Sharks head coach, including coming to San Jose for an interview. Did he ever talk with Hasso Plattner during the process?

Fans have been expecting a more veteran goalie to be added to the Barracuda…Will says that the San Jose Sharks organization, if anything, is looking for an older, more experienced prospect for that role. (57:17) Could the San Jose Sharks find their No. 3 goalie in waivers? Will discusses stories that have circulated that some of the recent Cuda veterans and their wives haven’t been happy in San Jose. In his view, has player treatment been a problem in San Jose in recent years? (1:02:20) Will suggests another reason why veterans might be unhappy.
