DOH Podcast #152: Hockey Gods hate San Jose, major change vs shuffling approach vs stand pat for 2012, the transformation of Joe Thornton, what happened to Jason Demers

Mike Peattie and Doug Santana try to devine the reason Hockey Gods hate San Jose, discuss their initial reactions to the end of the Sharks season in the Western Conference Finals, the bizarre game tying and game winning goals in game 5, whether the second straight Conference Finals appearance was a sign of improvement or a flat out failure, the mystery injury to puck moving defenseman Jason Demers that kept him out of the third round, the massive influx of Vancouver fans for game 4, the awful 76.1% postseason penalty kill, and whether the Sharks need to make major changes, minor reshuffling, or stand pat to keep pace with Detroit (Rafalski retired, Lidstrom 41) and Vancouver (3 defensive UFA’s) next season, discuss the transformation for Joe Thornton, and hand out their postseason awards positive and negative on the 152nd episode of the Dudes on Hockey podcast.
