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 […]

2.8KMcLellan after Sharks’ second consecutive shutout win: “That was not a well-played game on our behalf.”
SAP CENTER — So the Sharks have yet to allow a goal this season. After opening their 2014 campaign with a blistering win over the LA Kings, with partial thanks to Antti Niemi’s shutout, the Sharks continued their winning ways as Alex Stalock pitched a shutout of his own Saturday night. It’s the first time […]

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 […]

2.5K2Sharks have plenty of work to do heading into training camp
We are down to the last week before Sharks training camp opens, finally putting an end to what has been a long and frustrating summer offseason. So now everyone can push aside their obsessions over silly things — like, I don’t know, what color jersey the Sharks would potentially wear if they make the playoffs […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
