San Jose Hockey Now’s Sheng Peng will be contributing regularly to NBC Sports California’s coverage of the San Jose Sharks. You can find more of his work on the podcast, as well as on Twitter at @Sheng_Peng.
According to Elliotte Friedman in his “32 Thoughts” podcast, the San Jose Sharks’ head-coach search has progressed to second interviews. Friedman reported that assistant coach Ryan Warsofsky has had two interviews, while former Detroit Red Wings head coach Jeff Blashill is about to have his second. It is unclear if Ontario Reign coach Marco Sturm will have a second interview.
Friedman also shared an amusing story about Ryan Warsofsky and Brian Rafalski on his show, providing a glimpse into how the insider operates. Last week, Friedman mentioned that the Sharks were considering Jeremy Colliton, the former head coach of the Chicago Blackhawks, for the position.
San Jose Hockey Now reports that Tampa Bay Lightning assistant coach Jeff Halpern is also being considered for the coaching job. For more coverage and insights on the San Jose Sharks, be sure to download and follow the San Jose Hockey Now podcast.
