Sharks History

This date has given us a little bit of everything over the years, including some very late regular-season games as well as Stanley Cup playoff milestones. Also, one of the greatest blueliners in National Hockey League history is celebrating his 50th trip around the sun. Goalie Power On April 28, 1970, Jacques Plante recorded his 14th and final career postseason shutout. He led the way in the St. Louis Blues’ to a 5-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, in Game 5 of the Western Division Semifinals, with Frank St. Marseille scoring a hat trick. Plante’s 14 shutouts have him tied with Dominik Hasek for the seventh-most in Stanley Cup playoff history. Plante's final season in St. Louis proved he had something left n the tank. (THW Archives) Patrick Roy of the Colorado Avalanche became the first goaltender to earn 16 shutouts in the playoffs on April 28, 2001. He hit the milestone by blanking the Los Angeles Kings 2-0, in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals. Roy...

Sharks Management

As outlandish as an NHL season without the playoffs seems, that goes double for general manager Doug Wilson’s San Jose Sharks. Since Wilson took the reins of the franchise in 2003, they’ve just about always made the postseason, with only one non-playoff campaign up to now (2014-15). The Sharks then turned around and reached the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in franchise history in 2016.

Wilson remains one of the best GMs in the league. If he can address the following offseason priorities, the Sharks also have a shot to rebound next season: 3. Re-Sign Joe Thornton... or Not? It used to be a given Joe Thornton would remain with the Sharks up until the point at...

Sharks History

April 18 is a very historic date as the greatest player in National Hockey League history laced up his skates for the final time. In addition to a legend saying goodbye, there was a whole slew of Stanley Cup playoff firsts that happened on this date. The Great One Says Goodbye When the New York Rangers took the ice for their regular-season finale against the Pittsburgh Penguins on April 18, 1999, they were already eliminated from a Stanley Cup playoff berth. The sellout crowd inside of the Madison Square Garden knew the old arena was going to host another historic moment. Wayne Gretzky put on an NHL uniform for the final time in his legendary career on this date. The Rangers held a pregame ceremony to honor the Great One which included a video message from Gordie Howe. He picked up the 2,875th and final point of his career with an assist on the Rangers’ lone goal in a 2-1 overtime loss. Gretzky is the league’s...

San Jose Sharks

In today's NHL rumor rundown, the Calgary Flames have said they won't be looking at signing any deals on players during the NHL pause. The Winnipeg Jets could get a valuable player back if the season resumes and the San Jose Sharks seem to be leaning one direction with their coach. Are the New York Rangers still working on a Lias Andersson trade? Finally, could Donald Trump get involved in the NHL's decision to pause the season?
