San Jose Sharks Enter The Final Turn
Fifty-six points. Eighth in the Western Conference. Sixteen points behind the West-leading Vancouver Canucks. Fourth in the Pacific Division. Nine points behind the Pacific leading Dallas Stars. Thirty-two games to go.
Such is the State of the San Jose Sharks. The team, which statistically is having it’s worst season in 6 [...]
Shuffling The Deck With The San Jose Sharks
The official statement from San Jose Sharks General Manager Doug Wilson was “We’ve been caught by the injury bug lately, so we needed some more bodies, some NHL experience on our forward lines…”. Okay. But when I heard of the acquisition of Ben Eager and Kyle Wellwood I immediately thought of one thing [...]
San Jose Sharks Making National Headlines
Just how bad is the situation with the San Jose Sharks? I listen to NHL Home Ice on XM Radio which is ‘pseudo’ national, meaning a lot of the programming comes out of the East Coast, Canada and from the NHL Network itself. Generally speaking - despite the ongoing argument - the coverage [...]
San Jose Sharks: A Blur In The Background
It’s been a VERY loooong time since I’ve posted. Because the San Jose Sharks continue to swing from very good to very frustrating I still find it hard to focus on any one topic. Any thoughts I have about any trends get demolished during the next pendulum swing, a swing that seems to [...]
San Jose Sharks Trade Options
It’s been incredibly frustrating trying to write about the San Jose Sharks. When you go from incredibly heroic (Detroit Red Wings, Philadelphia Flyers, Chicago Blackhawks) to horribly disappointing (Nashville Predators) it becomes difficult to focus on one topic long enough to put some thoughts together. Just when you think you have something to [...]
San Jose Sharks Beat Philadephia Flyers by One-Tenth Of A Second
The NHL Network has a show called ‘Classic Games’ where, mostly during the summer, they replay…well classic games. One such game was the San Jose Sharks against the Detroit Red Wings from January 17th 2009. I was lucky enough to be there for that game and it has since gone down as probably [...]
San Jose Sharks Tank In The Tank
Diving for pucks was the order of the day.
I have 10 minutes to compose this post so let’s get cracking. I remember very clearly a comment made on NHL Home Ice LAST year that the San Jose Sharks - in their attempts to build a championship team - had traded away many of their [...]
San Jose Sharks: Sharksfan Reminded Why We Are Here
Just over two years and 180+ posts ago I started this blog. My inspiration was a column by a local sports writer who criticized San Jose Sharks fans for believing in a team unworthy of being believed.
Back then life was much simpler. I used to go to games with my then 10-year old [...]
Not So Fast - The San Jose Sharks Sliding Backwards
It’s not easy to blog when you’re team is losing. Sure my definition of ‘losing’ isn’t the same as most, but when you’re 15th in the conference and showing serious signs of weakness it’s difficult to get excited. The good news is that the Sharks are only 6 points back of the division lead, the [...]
San Jose Sharks Skating In The Right Direction
The San Jose Sharks have quietly climbed to 6th in the Western Conference and are within 4 points of the lead. Due to unusual but fortunate circumstances I was at The Tank for 3 of the 5 games during this home stand (Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Islanders and Los Angeles Kings). Some [...]
