Sharks Playing As The Team They Were Built To Be
For the first time in San Jose Sharks history they’ve starting off the season 4-0 after beating the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-2 on Tuesday night. Once again scoring came not only from different players within the game but it also came from different players compared to their other games. Getting into the [...]
Chaos Theory + Evaluating the Sharks’ First 3 Games
From dictionary.com: chaos theory - the study of unpredictable and complex dynamic systems that are highly sensitive to small changes in external conditions.
In seasons past you could pretty much tell whether or not the Sharks were going to have a good game. If the opposition kept Joe Thornton from setting up shop down [...]
Messages from The Motherland
We posed a question about whether or not using the Vancouver Canucks to promote the 2010 Winter Olympics is an exploitative use of a hockey team. TheOldTimer from Vancouver offered some insight:
“Everyone in Vancouver loves the Canucks. Our local paper (Vancouver Sun) usually has about a 6 page Sports Section and 5 of [...]
What Can You Tell From One Hockey Game?
The guys on NHL Home Ice were discussing back and forth whether or not last night’s Red Wings loss was significant or irrelevant. Losing a home opener to a team they should beat on a night where they raised their World Champion banner - is it a sign of things to come or is [...]
Game On!
Todd McLellan said the Sharks new offense would be a wide open, ‘fluid’ game. I wasn’t quite sure what ‘fluid’ meant but after watching (in person!) the home opener tonight I think I know exactly what that means. The Sharks got McLellan his first NHL win as a head coach tonight beating [...]

Sharks’ Best Line Doesn’t Include Thornton
During last year’s playoff run two things stood out as being key to the Sharks defeat in the second round. The first was the collapse of the penalty kill. The second was the inability to score when the opposition neutralized Joe Thornton. It became obvious to me (and I’m no expert so [...]
ESPN Gives Sharks 1 in 6 Odds to Win Cup (sort of)
ESPN has one expert (out of 6) predicting the Sharks will win it all in the 2008-2009 campaign. I recently got 8-1 on the Sharks at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe (the only teams above the Sharks were Detroit and Pittsburgh). Over the last two season a lot of experts picked San Jose to win [...]
The Cost of Doing Business
Last year there was a lot of talk about the Sharks low payroll (20th in the league, around $34 million with a cap of around $50M), the argument being could the Sharks have gone deeper into the playoffs if they had spent more on players. We’ll never know what could have been but what [...]
