Sharks Finally Clip Wings
Posted on 13 May 2011 by Kirk Butler.
It may have taken 3 more games than they would have wanted but the Sharks finally knocked off the Wings in a great Game 7 last night. Before I continue I just wanted to thank the Wings and Sharks for providing us the with entertaining hockey in a second round that clearly lacked it. The Sharks and Wings played to 6 one goal games and if it hadn't of been for Drew Miller's empty netter at the en...

Posted on 13 May 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
Prediction time again! After a not so impressive 2-2 in the second round I'm sitting at 9-3 in this years post season picks. We have a couple really intriguing match-ups in the Conference Finals lets get picking! Vancouver Canucks (1) vs San Jose Sharks (2) I don't know if it could have worked out much better for the Canucks in this match-up. San Jose got taken to the limit and were quite fortu...

We Have a Game 7 Folks!
Posted on 11 May 2011 by Kirk Butler.
Although I predicted a Sharks victory in 7 games even I didn't think the Wings had enough left in the tank or the talent to mount a comeback after falling behind 3-0 to the Sharks. However last night that is exactly what they did. For the first time in the series the Wings managed to outplay the Sharks for a full 60 minutes and again when they needed a last minute comeback they managed to do ju...

Despite dropping the first 3 games of this series the Wings have somehow managed to make it a series as they have forced a Game 6 back in Detroit on Tuesday night. Despite being drastically out shot 42-22, outplayed for most of the game and having to kill off several undisciplined penalties the Wings managed to do complete their first comeback of the series erasing a 2 goal deficit in the 3rd p...

Wings Extend Series
Posted on 7 May 2011 by Kirk Butler.
With their backs against the wall the Wings managed to extend their series with the Sharks to a game 5 back in San Jose on Sunday. It was almost dejavu all over again; the Wings jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead and it looked like it may be a repeat of last years game 4 but San Jose pushed back making a game of it with the Wings prevailing 4-3. This series has been fast paced and entertaining that...

Posted on 21 Dec 2010 by Alex Wasserstrom.
With both the San Jose Sharks and Edmonton Oilers playing to 6-3-1 records in their last ten games, youthful exuberance will be the theme to tonight's match-up.

Keeping it Tight
Posted on 13 Dec 2010 by Alex Wasserstrom.
As we entered into today's action, 2 points separate 2nd place through 9th place in the Western Conference standings. The San Jose Sharks are tied, in points, with teams in 6th through 9th after their 2-1 OT win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night. The situation could have been a lot first for this Sharks team that went 3-2-0 on their most recent road-trip that saw wins against the Ot...

For Heater
Posted on 3 Dec 2010 by Alex Wasserstrom.
I've been quite critical of Antti Niemi during his tenure as a Shark but with good reason – he just wasn't getting the job done nor meeting expectations. Last night, I must say, he did very well in earning his first shutout as a Shark stopping 28 shots in the 4-0 victory. Niemi looked poised,confident, and efficient in net. It was obvious that the game against Chicago last week meant a lo...

Monday Showdown
Posted on 14 Nov 2010 by Alex Wasserstrom.
Following their overtime loss to the Ducks, the Sharks have picked up wins against the New York Islanders and the Calgary Flames. Two things consistent about the victories were the amount of shots on goal produce by San Jose – against the Islanders they produced 38 shots and 35 versus the Flames. This is the type of offensive output the coaching staff should be happy with, however their d...

The three powerplay goals scored by the Sharks helped propel them to a 6-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers Saturday night. Antero Niittymaki saw his second consecutive start stopping 21 of the 22 shots faced. The pieces are coming together more and more for this Sharks team, as the big trio of Thornton, Heatley, and Marleau started the game together for the first time this season. Some fundam...
