San Jose Sharks Dominate When Angry

In 1994 there was an incident on the San Francisco 49ers’ sideline that some would say was the pivotal moment where the team went from a team not living up to it’s expectations to Super Bowl Champions. Understand that this was the year the 49ers went out and brought in several star players from [...]

San Jose Sharks Get Back To Work

I got the two main things I wanted out of the Olympic hockey tournament - great hockey and no injuries (to San Jose Sharks anyway). I don’t think there’s any argument that you couldn’t have asked (nor scripted) a better gold medal game, even if my country didn’t prevail. After the game I [...]

Canada Blames San Jose For Loss To Team USA

I don’t watch cable news, in fact it’s been years since I used a cable news network to get any information. However my gym has a television dedicated to CNN so there are times where I accidentally watch. One time I saw something I thought was shocking, but my friends who watch assured [...]

Team Canada Looks Like Ghost Of San Jose Sharks Past

Dear Canada - I know how you feel. Canada’s loss to Team USA was eerily familiar, and I’m sure there are other San Jose Sharks fans who know exactly what I mean. On paper Team Canada looks almost unbeatable. When the Sharks’ top line of Dany Heatley, Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau is [...]

United States Vs Canada & The 3-Point System

I love the 3-point system used by Olympic hockey (3-points for a regulation win, 2-points for an overtime/SO win, 1-point overtime loss). There has been lots of talk about changing the NHL point system and most of them are all theory, but actually seeing one system in action really shows it’s value. With [...]

Team Canada Loss Equals San Jose Sharks Win?

I think I’ve figured it out. For the last few years we Sharks fans have been perplexed because the team seems to be stuck in a cycle. That cycles involves a disappointing exit from the post-season, a strong response from management, an off-season retooling of the team, a stellar regular season followed by [...]

Giguere Trade Answers Some San Jose Sharks Questions

This was just a hunch, but when the San Jose Sharks failed to sign a veteran backup goalie to replace outgoing Brian Boucher, the question was - if the Sharks were going to make a serious run in the playoffs, why wouldn’t you go out and find an known commodity to protect your net instead [...]

San Jose Sharks Need An Answer For The Blackhawks

Professional sports leagues have the best marketing departments. Because they’re promoting something that really has no down side and no real side effects when compared to other things in our world, they’re free to go all out to make their product look like the best thing since refrigerated indoor ice.
One of the best marketing [...]

San Jose Sharks With Too Much Time On Their Hands

The Chicago Blackhawks are coming back to town. The proper sports cliché would be “Chicago Blackhawks return to the scene of the crime”. The most humiliating game in recent history occurred the last time the Blackhawks visited The Tank. I’m a huge fan of payback as a motivator, and nothing would make [...]

San Jose Sharks Beat The Streak

The problem with writing about the San Jose Sharks is that they’re too consistent - they just win (in the regular season). If the team were ‘inconsistent’, or full of surprises, it might be easier to find things to write about. Take puckgal and her Phoenix Coyotes. All the Coyote woes - [...]
