After the Fall: Kings’ Next Step
Posted on 20 Apr 2011 by Eric Cooney.
I said last night that the Kings suffered the most devastating loss in their history in game 3 against the Sharks. Now, there's hope in that statement. Why, you ask? First, it wasn't the most devastating collapse in NHL history. In retrospect, it wasn't even the most devastating collapse I've witnessed in my hockey history. That would be Edmonton in game 1 of the 2006 Finals. Up 3-0...

Sharks vs Kings – Series Preview
Posted on 12 Apr 2011 by Alex Wasserstrom.
It has been quite a season for the San Jose Sharks – from struggling to find consistency to surging into a 4th straight Pacific Division title. This team has a different make-up from Sharks teams of the past in the fact that there is a real sense of improvement as the season progressed. As noted in my season preview, I felt that if the Sharks had to battle for a higher seed, especially wi...

Sharks Split Games on the Road
Posted on 16 Mar 2011 by Alex Wasserstrom.
Just prior to puck-drop against the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night, I tweeted that I was a little surprised to see Antti Niemi get the start in net for the San Jose Sharks. I felt as though he was due for an “off” night, being his 25th consecutive start, and that we'd might see Antero Niittymaki between the pipes. Sure, playing in Chicago against the team he went the distance wi...

Sharks Beat Nashville in OT…Again.
Posted on 9 Mar 2011 by Alex Wasserstrom.
If you look at San Jose's remaining schedule, not only are 9 of the Sharks' last 15 games against divisional opponents, but nearly all are against teams battling for a playoff spot. Additionally, San Jose's strong play has them contending for the top two seeds while most of their remaining opponents will be vying for the lower seeds – this makes matchups, like last night's against the Nas...

Niemi Inks Extension
Posted on 2 Mar 2011 by Alex Wasserstrom.
In the wake of what was a quiet Trade Deadline day for San Jose, the Sharks announced yesterday that they have re-signed goaltender Antti Niemi to a 4-year contract extension. The deal is reportedly worth $3.8 million per year. Niemi has been great since becoming the clear starter after Antero Niittymaki went down with an injury. Niemi has really turned his season around after a tough start bo...

Hey, It’s Crowded in Here
Posted on 14 Feb 2011 by Alex Wasserstrom.
A five game killing-spree for the San Jose Sharks has turned into a two-game slide for the club. The Sharks, who will play their 7th and final game of this current road swing Tuesday night in Nashville, saw 3rd period leads disintegrate late against New Jersey and Florida. The losses by San Jose have created a log-jam in this standing-room-only Pacific Division. Three points separate the divis...

Stealing Two Points
Posted on 2 Feb 2011 by Alex Wasserstrom.
When an NHL team is down 3-0 with under a minute left in the second period, Paul Bissonette has found the back of the net, and their backup with no NHL experience replaces the starter, the game is pretty much over right? The San Jose Sharks had other plans last night as they mounted a comeback of epic proportions scoring 5 straight in a win over their division rivals, the Phoenix Coyotes. Phoen...

Big Win to Make it Three in a Row
Posted on 21 Jan 2011 by Alex Wasserstrom.
The lone goal in the shootout by Joe Pavelski proves to be enough for the San Jose Sharks to win their third straight – and first against Vancouver this season – on Thursday night. A slow start to the game saw the Sharks playing reaction-hockey while the Canucks dominated in puck possession and offensive zone time. The Canucks' efforts paid off on a nifty passing play by the Sedin t...

Sharks Add Depth; Poised for More Moves
Posted on 18 Jan 2011 by Alex Wasserstrom.
As the San Jose Sharks are enjoying a two-game win streak, GM Doug Wilson made some moves to increase the team's depth while posturing some future trade packages to acquire a defenseman. San Jose traded away a fifth round pick in the upcoming draft to Atlanta for F Ben Eager. Eager's grit and cup ring is surely the motivation behind the move and will make the Sharks a tougher team to play agai...
