2.4KDespite loss there are positive signs of attitude change on Sharks
There was so much talk in the offseason about whether or not a culture change would take place in the San Jose Sharks locker room during the 2014-2015 campaign. Once regular season play started our focus turned more toward what was going on out on the ice, and not so much on what we could speculate […]

2.3K1Sharks continue to lose momentum mid-game, lose 5-4 stunner to Blue Jackets
SAP Center — Calling the Sharks’ 5-4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets Thursday night a “heartbreaker” is probably an understatement. It was another night of blowing leads and not playing a full 60 minutes, and nobody knew that more than the Sharks themselves. “It sucks losing, no one in here’s happy,” Joe Pavelski said […]

2.6KWhat we learned when the Sharks spoiled the Devils’ home opener with a 4-2 win
When the New Jersey Devils visited the Tank last season, everyone wanted a matchup between Sharks rookie Tomas Hertl and his childhood idol Jaromir Jagr to be a major storyline. As it turns out, neither made much of an impact in the 2013-14 tilt in San Jose. Then again, when the Sharks made their visit […]

2.9KSharks snag shootout win despite blowing two three-goal leads
The Sharks road opener was so helter skelter that it’s almost hard to decide what to address first. Sure, the basic headline is that Team Teal now has a 3-0 record on the young season after a 6-5 shootout win against the Washington Capitals — a team which they faced in the shootout in each […]

2.8KSharks youngsters fighting for roles with big club in 2-1 preseason loss
SAP Center — The Sharks lost 2-1 in a shootout to the Arizona “formerly known as Phoenix” Coyotes, and one thing was clear in this preseason game: With the young guns up with the big club from Worcester, there isn’t a player, veteran or otherwise, whose job isn’t on the line. “We often think about just […]

Sharks “captain-less” camp is a positive step
Up until this week, it looked like the San Jose Sharks weren’t going to do much in the way of rebuilding, as the higher-ups claimed would be the case this offseason. Then on Wednesday, Team Teal announced its most rebuild-y move since their season ended in April. Head coach Todd McLellan told members of the […]

2.9K2Sharks have done more re-signing than rebuilding
This offseason for the San Jose Sharks has been peppered with talk of “rebuilding” and “giving the younger guys a chance” and a few other overused phrases that I’d rather not take the time and finger movements to type out. Except the Sharks really haven’t made any real shocking moves over the summer — unless […]

Sharks now on the verge of an epic collapse
It doesn’t get any uglier than this. The Sharks had three chances to dispatch the Los Angeles Kings after convincingly going up 3-0 to open the series, and they couldn’t have botched it much worse than they have. Now they’ll return to what is certain to be a tight SAP Center on Wednesday to try […]

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 […]

Sharks’ depth, McLellan’s wizardry too much for Kings in Game 2
So that thing in the headline about “wizardry” might be overselling it a little bit, but you have to give credit where it’s due: Todd McLellan had four lines worth of real scoring ability waiting in the wings, and it took a 2-0 Kings lead to unleash it. You can’t blame him for going with […]
