Mac has been playing hockey since he was four years old and as he grew older he discovered a passion for sharing this great sport through writing. Growing up in California, hockey always took a backseat to other sports, but that never stopped him from learning more about hockey. His primary focus will be covering the San Jose Sharks.

Three-Headed Shark: Karlsson, Burns & Vlasic

Three-Headed Shark: Karlsson, Burns & Vlasic

September 15th, 2018 The San Jose Sharks made the biggest possible splash in the trade market by acquiring Erik Karlsson from the Ottawa Senators. Lots of articles have analyzed each piece of the trade, but most agree that this was a clear win for the Sharks. Let's get to what this means for the Sharks team dynamic and how this team joins only seven other...
Vlasic Has Been the Sharks' MVP of the Last Decade

Vlasic Has Been the Sharks' MVP of the Last Decade

September 11th, 2018 San Jose Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic is one of the most overlooked players in the NHL. He was recently left out of the NHL Network's Top 20 Defensemen list, as our Zeke pointed out recently. Die-hard Sharks fans have always praised Vlasic's game (as does Team Canada) and there hasn't been a more important player to the Sharks...
Sharks Not Afraid of Murky Waters With Merkley

Sharks Not Afraid of Murky Waters With Merkley

June 24th, 2018 The San Jose Sharks took a risk in the first round of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft by selecting defenseman Ryan Merkley with the 21st overall pick. In the 2017-18 OHL season, Merkley put up 67 points in 63 games. It’s out of character for Doug Wilson to select a player that qualifies as a high-risk high-reward player, but that didn’t...
Labanc’s First Sloppy Seasons Hold Hope for Sharks

Labanc’s First Sloppy Seasons Hold Hope for Sharks

June 9th, 2018 Kevin Labanc recently concluded his second professional season, and the Sharks have high expectations for the 22-year-old forward. He registered 40 points in 77 games this past year. Labanc didn't start his career with high expectations, as most sixth round picks don't. He was selected No. 171 overall in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, but his...
Sharks' Timo Meier is Primed

Sharks' Timo Meier is Primed

May 29th, 2018 Timo Meier is a physical specimen on skates for the San Jose Sharks. He stands at 6 feet even and 215 pounds of lean muscle while not sacrificing any speed. At only 21 years old, the sky is the limit for what this young Swiss winger is capable of. Meier was drafted ninth overall by the Sharks in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. He was the...
Ryan McLeod Is a Perfect Fit for Sharks

Ryan McLeod Is a Perfect Fit for Sharks

May 14th, 2018 The San Jose Sharks have the 21st overall pick in this year's NHL Entry Draft. After years of missing out on first-round picks, the Sharks need to hit a bullseye this year to stock their prospect cupboard. A first round pick is always the one that gets the most scrutiny from a team's fan base and Sharks fans are no different. Since...
Sharks’ Offseason Shopping List

Sharks’ Offseason Shopping List

May 8th, 2018 The Sharks have officially entered the 2018 offseason after their Game 6 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. Players and management will take a few days to digest the heartbreaking end to their season, but after that, it's back to work. Doug Wilson has an important summer ahead of him and can alter the franchise's next decade. Here's what...
Pavelski: Not Your Average Joe

Pavelski: Not Your Average Joe

May 6th, 2018 It was nearly 12 years ago when Joe Pavelski was called up from the AHL Worcester Sharks and inserted into the San Jose Sharks lineup as a 22-year-old. He scored in his first NHL game and never looked back at the minors. In that 2006-07 rookie season for Pavelski, he had 28 points in 46 games. His career has steadily risen ever since his...
