Sharks Roster Blends Youth, Experience and Skill

Sharks Roster Blends Youth, Experience and Skill

October 7th, 2015 The San Jose Sharks missed the playoffs for the first time since 2003... yada yada yada...playoff collapse...blah blah...Doug Wilson... wa wa wa...John Scott. Myself, and most of the Sharks media, have started many of our articles discussing these things. But now that puck drop is upon us, we will soon be able to move on. Let this be...

10 Items to Look for Early in the Sharks Season, Part 1

October 7th, 2015 The San Jose Sharks' 2014-15 season was not defined early in the year, but by a February collapse and problems winning at home. It is difficult to determine the course of a season in the first month, but there are certain things that are likely to show up early with longer term repercussions. The Sharks have undergone major changes...
A Softer San Jose Sharks Team

A Softer San Jose Sharks Team

October 2nd, 2015 In the Pacific Division, the hits just keep on coming. The top teams are big and physical. If the Sharks had any doubt on what the style of play they can expect to face this season, they can look at their final game of the 2014-15 season. The LA Kings pummeled the Sharks 4-1. Quantitatively, the Kings outhit the Sharks 31-18....
San Jose Sharks Not Dead in the Water

San Jose Sharks Not Dead in the Water

September 23rd, 2015 Counting Them Out After the atrocious offseason of 2014, Doug Wilson and his San Jose Sharks bounced back with one of the better summers in team history. The club was active in free agency, found an experienced coaching staff and addressed key issues they had last season. It was a dream come true for Sharks fans. But despite all the...
Will the Sharks Penalty Kill Bounce Back?

Will the Sharks Penalty Kill Bounce Back?

September 17th, 2015 When it comes to special teams, we have seen great playoff teams get away with having a bad power play (see the 2011 Stanley Cup winning Boston Bruins), but having a bad penalty kill is nearly impossible to get away with. Winning a Cup with a bad penalty kill is much more difficult than winning with a struggling power play. As for the...
Sharks Power Play Should be Even Better This Season

Sharks Power Play Should be Even Better This Season

September 17th, 2015 There is no question that San Jose's deadly top unit power play carried the team last season. The Sharks' penalty kill and five-on-five play was absolutely dreadful. While Team Teal managed to find themselves in second place in the division at the end of January, it never felt like the same high level Sharks teams of previous seasons....
Sharks Likely Line Combinations to Start Season

Sharks Likely Line Combinations to Start Season

September 16th, 2015 If you call yourself a die hard hockey fan, you probably have at least a moderate curiosity towards line combinations and defense pairs. The start of training camp is when coaches like to try new combinations and mix things up to see which players might mesh well together. For veteran teams like the Sharks, the mixing and matching of...
Jason Chimera: Washington Capitals 2015-16 Player Preview

Jason Chimera: Washington Capitals 2015-16 Player Preview

September 9th, 2015 This is part of a series of Washington Capitals player previews heading into the 2015-16 season. Jason Chimera is the oldest Capitals player on the roster heading into this season, entering the year at 36 years old. His skills have certainly deteriorated, no longer a huge force on the forecheck, but he still brings some speed which...
