I asked Pat Curcio, head coach and president of the San Francisco Bulls, why the San Jose Sharks stick with certain players. One in particular is not very big, doesn’t score a lot of goals but gets a decent amount of ice time. Coach Curcio said it’s because ‘he works hard’. That’s [...]
Let’s talk a little football. I know this is a hockey blog but if you dig through the archives you’ll see that my love of football is why I’m a hockey fan. And it’s my blog so I can write whatever I want (no puppy videos).
For context I grew up watching the San [...]
California Redwoods. No not the trees but the football team. Never heard of them? Probably not. The California Redwoods were San Francisco’s United Football League (UFL) team during the league’s inagural 2009 season. They lasted one year and have since moved to Sacramento. How about the San Francisco Demons? [...]
This might be the beginning of a new story line for us here at The ‘Net. In case you didn’t already know San Francisco has a new hockey team - the ECHL San Francisco Bulls. Their inaugural season is this fall (October 2012) and their new home is the Bay Area favorite Cow [...]
Believe it or not the NHL is about 7 to 10 days away from the half-way point of the season. As a San Jose Sharks fan I can say absolutely the team is not where I hoped we would be. Unlike early season predictions that the Pacific Division would be the toughest division [...]
After the conclusion of last season’s campaign San Jose Sharks General Manager Doug Wilson talked to blog ‘Fear the Fin‘ about his thoughts on the Sharks’ second season reaching the Western Conference Finals.

On The War Room, a program on XM Radio’s ‘NHL Home Ice’ channel, the topic of the day was ‘do you like the style of play in today’s NHL and do you like parity’. Since today IS the only style of play I know I really cannot speak to that question, but when it [...]
…they’re just wearing different colors. As last night’s game between the San Jose Sharks and Minnesota Wild drew near my girlfriend continued to mull over that one burning question – how would the crowd respond to Devin Setoguchi and Dany Heatley’s return to San Jose?
First let me make it perfectly clear that I’m not [...]
Apparently the stories are true – road trips help. I guess it’s a fine line between the upsides (team building/bonding, less self-imposed pressure to entertain the crowd) and downsides (fatigue), but this early in the season it appears the latest San Jose Sharks road trip did more help than harm. Granted the Sharks are still [...]
It’s 2010 all over again. The San Jose Sharks currently sit at 26th in a league of 30. They’re ahead of Columbus, Ottawa, Winnipeg and Calgary. With just two point and a 1-3-0 record maybe this wasn’t the year to become a full season ticket holder…
It’s not easy to watch your hockey players run into [...]
