I thought I would let you know that the Oiler game against the Sharks tonight will be part of Hockey Night in Canada’s triple header and will be [...]
After that grueling second round series during last season’s Stanley Cup Playoffs, nothing makes me happier than a little pay back against the Dallas Stars. The San Jose Sharks did just that albeit against the worst team in the NHL (I didn’t know just how bad it was in Dallas until tonight). [...]
The Detroit Red Wings came into Vancouver last night with the best road record in the NHL and on a five-game winning streak. They can also claim the leagues most potent power play and they invariably win when they score first. The Canucks have also been hot of late but as they prepared [...]
The San Jose Sharks are off to their best start in franchise history. They’re atop the league in points (26), 5th in goals scored (3.25/game) and 5th in goals allowed (2.38/game). But just how good are the Sharks?
Consider this, even though their 13-3-0 record is their best start ever, the Sharks 26 [...]
The Dallas Stars - Sharks fans remember them, they sent us home from last year’s playoffs. In retrospect we can thank the Stars for giving us many great gifts.
First, a new coach. It doesn’t necessarily matter that it’s Todd McLellan, but letting go of Ron Wilson seems like one of the better [...]
Early on we were a little concerned about the Sharks record, as impressive as it was it came at the expense of mostly winless teams.
But then the Pittsburgh Penguins came to town. After them were the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings. Next up were the Colorado Avalanche and tonight were [...]
At even strength the Vancouver Canucks outplayed and outscored the Detroit Red Wings 2-0 on a rainy Sunday night in Vancouver. Unfortunately for the Canucks, almost half the game was played with one team or the other having a man advantage. The Detroit power play unit was successful with 3 goals on 5 [...]
Scheduling both of last year’s Stanley Cup finalists in back-to-back games in October was a gift from the hockey gods to the San Jose Sharks. As we discussed at length, this early test of the New Sharks couldn’t have come at a better time. Win or lose it would be telling to [...]
As we prepare for visits from both participants of last year’s Stanley Cup Finals I’m excited and nervous about what might transpire. I’m very happy with the Sharks’ 7-2 record but tentative to get too excited about it. Since we evaluated the Sharks victories they’ve continued the trend beating only the Tampa [...]
Tomorrow night’s San Jose Sharks game against the Florida Panthers is, believe it or not, the Sharks toughest opponent to date. Of all the opponents faced so far only one team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, had a win when playing the Sharks. Here are all the records of the teams at the [...]
