With the NHL trade deadline less than a week away, hockey fans must be wondering who will be a seller, buyer, or idle once April 3rd, 2013 rolls around. Matt D’Agostini and Brenden Morrow were some of the first players to be traded before the deadline, but there are undoubtedly a slew of moves that ...
On November 10, 2007, Jeremy Roenick became just the third American-born player in NHL history to score 500 career goals. I was there that night at HP Pavilion, along with 17,496 fans in attendance to watch the San Jose Sharks play the Phoenix Coyotes. In a 1-1 game midway through the second period, the Sharks ...
No doubt thoroughly disgusted with his team’s anemic penalty killing statistics over the past two season, Sharks’ General Manager Doug Wilson has tried adding defensive size, strength and speed, along with speedy and/or big two-way forwards to improve their special teams. Schemes have been tweaked and adjusted. In short, he’s tried everything but turning the ...
So much for those “big changes” hinted at by Doug Wilson and promised by the media. So much for dismantling the core and “blowing up” the team after a pathetic first round exit against the St. Louis Blues. It had me excited (heck, it had all of us excited) at the possibility of acquiring some ...
With the dust settling after perhaps the biggest day in NHL free agency thus far (Ryan Suter and Zach Parise signing with the Minnesota Wild), teams can now settle down, re-strategize, and add some other free agents. The San Jose Sharks are one of those teams; so far, they have lost Torrey Mitchell to the ...
After signing a one year deal with the San Jose Sharks, fans must be wondering what Alex Stalock’s future will be with the franchise as Thomas Greiss and Antti Niemi have done a good job in net for San Jose when called upon. Greiss performed admirably during Niemi’s absence in the early parts of the ...
It has been no secret: the San Jose Sharks want to acquire Rick Nash from the Columbus Blue Jackets, and they want to do it badly. Imagine Nash reuniting with Joe Thornton, his former teammate at HC Davos during the 2004-2005 lockout. If just one of those players by themselves would cause trouble for opponents ...
To apologize is to lay the foundation for a future offense.— Ambrose Bierce Unless selecting at the very top of the NHL draft, a team’s picks will always be poked and prodded by pundits and fans alike, attempting to glean the barometric pressure not only of the present, but especially the future of the team. ...
It would be like trying to flog a dead horse — John Bright You miss 100% of the shots you never take — Wayne Gretzky To paraphrase Frasier on Cheers (season 3, “Behind Every Great Man”): I’m being redundant, I’m repeating myself, I’m saying things over and over. This subject as been covered by yours ...
The other teams could make trouble for us if they win. — Yogi Berra The hilariously inimitable long-time ex-New York Yankee player/manager may have unintentionally described the San Jose Sharks over the past decade or so with one of his characteristically bizarre quotes. Despite winning four Pacific division titles in a row and six out ...
