Detroit Red Wings
The San Jose Sharks And The Curse Of Jim Kelly
From 1990-1993 the Buffalo Bills tallied up regular season records of 13-3, 13-3, 11-5 12-4, featured NFL Hall of Famers Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith and Marv Levy, went to 4 straight Super Bowls – and lost every one of them.
Are the San Jose Sharks the Buffalo Bills of hockey? Are they destined [...]
San Jose Sharks Magic Number Watch Continues
The San Jose Sharks have two magic numbers: 8 and 5.
8 is the number of points the Sharks either have to win or the Boston Bruins have to ‘not win’ for the Sharks to win the Presidents’ Trophy.
5 is the number of point the Sharks either have to win or the Detroit Red Wings have [...]
San Jose Sharks Might Be The Best Team In Hockey
Phil Esposito was pontificating on NHL Home Ice the other day. The topic was the Presidents’ Trophy and what value it has beyond home ice advantage throughout the playoffs.
To paraphrase, he said which ever team wins the Presidents’ Trophy is the best team in hockey for that season. The team that leads the [...]
Hybrid San Jose Sharks Team Steals One In Calgary
I have to admit, when I looked at tonight’s game I didn’t get too excited about the Sharks’ prospects. Skating basically with a hybrid team - 2 NHL lines and 2 AHL lines, in Calgary where the Sharks have had little success against a Flames team trying to increase their lead in the Northwest [...]
San Jose Sharks Hold Lead, Game In Hand
Thanks to a 4-1-1 record in their last 6 games, and a special thanks to the Red Wings for losing 2 straight in Detroit, the San Jose Sharks find themselves 2 points ahead of the Red Wings in the Western Conference standings, and also hold a game in hand. Unfortunately the next 4 [...]
San Jose Sharks Fan Running Out Of Excuses
First I told myself that everyone goes through a ‘funk’ late in January. This turned out to be somewhat true as the San Jose Sharks, Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins all had so-so post All Star Game performances. But as January turned to February the Sharks continued to move sideways, but the [...]
The State Of The San Jose Sharks
The San Jose Sharks are 2-5-1 in their last 8 games, 7-7-5 in their last 19. They are now trailing the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins by 3 points each, and the New Jersey Devils and Washington Capitals are only 5 and 6 points behind respectively. There are 16 games left in the season [...]
Anaheim Ducks Lose To Minnesota Wild 3-2
For the first time ever, I was 4 rows off the glass, where my Ducks come onto the ice. So, for that alone, this was a good game for me. (My sons saw Giguere for the first time and literally froze. THAT was worth the price of admission for me! LOL) It wasn’t, however, a [...]
San Jose Sharks Maintain Position Through February
Turns out nothing too revealing came about during the month of February. The month known as a mundane time for most hockey teams, and also the month the San Jose Sharks have to vacate HP Pavilion for at least one week (due to tennis), I was curious to see how the top teams [...]
San Jose Sharks And Detroit Red Wings Succesfully Defend Home Ice
After the Detroit Red Wings beat the San Jose Sharks at Joe Louis Arena last night - the last of the 4 regular season games between the top two teams in the Western Conference - here’s what we can casually deduce for the regular season series:
1) Both teams can succesfully defend home ice
2) The Red [...]
