2.6K2Gutless Patrick Marleau gives Sharks the 3-0 series stranglehold in overtime
The Kings came into Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals like a team that knew their season was on the brink. Now, thanks to a huge backhander from Patrick Marleau in overtime, it truly is. The San Jose Sharks didn’t rattle off six or seven goals like we got used to seeing at the SAP […]

It’s official: Sharks will face Kings after completely unraveling against Anaheim
The Sharks couldn’t be in worse shape heading into the 2013-14 Stanley Cup Playoffs. San Jose had a chance to keep their hopes of stealing the Pacific Division crown away from the Anaheim Ducks alive when the two teams faced off at the Honda Center Wednesday night, but an awful showing from both Antti Niemi […]

Chances for division win get slimmer for Sharks
The top end of the NHL’s Western Conference is smattered with Xs right now, and the Sharks are right in the middle of it all. While St. Louis may be running away with the Conference’s top seed, the Pacific Division isn’t sewn up yet, although the Ducks got one step closer with the Sharks 3-0 […]

3.9K4GIFs and notes from Pavelski’s hattrick and the Sharks’ power play explosion
With two power play lines that look like the top half of an Olympic hockey team, the San Jose Sharks should have a better power play percentage than 15.8. It’s a fact that drives fans crazy: Team Teal earns a ton of man advantage opportunities and capitalizes on very few of them. That wasn’t the […]

Where the Sharks stand as they clinch their 10th-straight playoff appearance
All the Sharks needed was one point to clinch their 10th-straight playoff appearance, and they did that by taking Monday night’s matchup with the Calgary Flames to overtime before eventually losing 2-1 in the shootout. The game itself wasn’t anything pretty, and while the result was suitable for clinching, they’ll need to do better to […]

Sharks fail to top Panthers’ JV squad
The Sharks have been impressive against the Eastern Conference this season, but they didn’t live up to their 21-6-3 record in losing 3-2 to the Florida Panthers Tuesday night. San Jose was clearly the better team, which isn’t saying much considering the Panthers were one-half an AHL squad and wouldn’t be much better even if […]

2.6K5Sharks’ goaltending quandary gets cloudier in win over Devils
Alex Stalock helped the Sharks get back on the horse following an embarrassing sweep-clinching loss to the Buffalo Sabres by handling the Devils in New Jersey 4-2 Sunday afternoon. Now they’re facing some tough decisions in net. Nevermind the god-given scratches of Adam Burish and Mike Brown (we’ll get to those shortly) — Todd McLellan […]

Sharks take playoff-style victory over Blackhawks
The Sharks came into Saturday night split 1-1 on their season series with the Chicago Blackhawks, and just like their last meeting in the windy city, it took a shootout to decide the victor. That’s a good thing, because not only are the Sharks still far from full-strength, but the Blackhawks were one of the […]

Sharks put 59 shots on goal, get shut out
There isn’t much to say about this game. It was absolutely stupid, and a throwback to the Craig Anderson Show in the 2009-10 playoff series against the Colorado Avalanche, except worse. The Sharks threw out everything they had, but new Edmonton Oiler goaltender Ben Scrivens set an NHL expansion era record with 59 saves in […]

San Jose loses ugly to Kings, Jeremy Roenick shows off his Sharks knowledge
While the Sharks and Kings have come together to provide the best rivalry west of the Mason-Dixon over the last three years, Monday night’s 1-0 Los Angeles victory didn’t match the marquee. The Kings have been offensively challenged lately — 18 goals over the last nine games — but they’ve also become a Nashville Predators-lite, lull-you-to-sleep hockey […]

LeBrun says Marleau’s deal carries a cap hit of $6.6M and Thornton’s carries a cap hit of $6.75M.
