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 [...]
“Put Up” Or “Shut Up” Time For The San Jose Sharks
When I evaluate whether or not a team is on the decline one of the symptoms I look for is earning a winning record by beating teams that won’t make the playoffs and losing to teams preparing for the playoffs. And while I know it’s early in the season and the playoff picture is [...]
San Jose Sharks And The Hockey Mendoza Line
I don’t know if anyone has noticed but the San Jose Sharks have quietly sunk to the bottom of the Pacific Division. Although being 12th in the Western Conference is a slightly better conference standing than last week, the Sharks are - in my opinion - treading in very dangerous waters. On Monday [...]
The Solution For The San Jose Sharks
Niemi 1-4-0, 3.90 GAA
Niittymaki 5-1-1, 1.78 GAA
After watching last night’s game and looking up some interesting stats I believe I have found the solution to the early season woes of the San Jose Sharks. The answer is Antero Niittymaki. Niitymaki has a record of 5-1-1 and Antti Niemi a record of 1-4-0. [...]
