I knew going into the first round of the playoffs that I would not be able to watch Game 3 and Game 4 between the San Jose Sharks and the Los Angeles Kings. I have commitments on Tuesday nights and Thursday I’ll be travelling. As such I got tickets to both Game 1 and Game [...]

Tonight will be the last non-Pacific Division opponent for the San Jose Sharks. After the game with the Calgary Flames the Sharks have 8 games against divisional opponents: 2 games against the Los Angeles Kings, 3 games against the Phoenix Coyotes, 1 game against the Dallas Stars (Elbowgate 2), and 2 [...]
Yesterday I wrote that despite the standings and the push to the playoffs, all I wanted to see at the game last night was a “…Sharks win during one of those epic games.” Well…although they didn’t win the game WAS rather epic!
First let me make one thing clear, I don’t really care about [...]
If you want home ice advantage throughout the playoffs then it goes without saying that a game against the number one team in the league qualifies as one of those ‘must win’ games. However with just 15 games left and behind by 11 points it seems highly unlikely that the San Jose Sharks can [...]
Ever since January 17, 2009, the date of the epic regular season game between the San Jose Sharks and Detroit Red Wings (as seen on NHL Network’s ‘Classic Games’ series), the Sharks have been unable to defend home ice against the Red Wings during the regular season.

I was only kidding when I used the word ‘assault’ to describe the San Jose Sharks slump-ending win streak. In fact I was upset with myself because no sooner had I written that title that the Sharks lost two straight road games. But now the Sharks have won another 5 in a row [...]
A little while back the hosts of one of the programs on NHL Home Ice was introducing a guest. They mentioned that, dispite whatever his specific area of expertise was, he also had his own blog. As a quick note, they commented that unlike the hundreds of blogs written by people who don’t know what [...]
Okay I know it’s not really so dominating that you could call the San Jose Sharks’ recent point streak an ‘assault’, but it sounds good and feels good. Winning is fun! After a remarkably poor start, including dropping as low as 11th in the Western Conference and last in the Pacific Division, [...]
If you ever go play for the National Football League’s Dallas Cowboys or Detroit Lions you know that one thing is for sure - you have to play on Thanksgiving Day. If you are a hockey player with the San Jose Sharks you know that every February you go on a two-week road trip. [...]
