San Jose Sharks Coaching History

San Jose Sharks Coaching History

August 6th, 2020 Disregarding interim head coaches, the San Jose Sharks have only had 7 head coaches in their soon-to-be 29th season of existence. Considering that they have still yet to win a Stanley Cup, there isn't exactly a clear-cut answer to who the greatest coach in franchise history has been. I plan on answering this question by taking a look at...
The Career Year of Nazem Kadri

The Career Year of Nazem Kadri

March 8th, 2017 Back in 2009, the Toronto Maple Leafs had some big plans regarding the NHL Entry Draft. They were led by the outspoken Brian Burke who believed that the team should run on "pugnacity, testosterone, truculence and belligerence." With that philosophy in mind, Burke and his scouting staff, made Toronto's first selection of the draft,...
Anaheim Ducks History: Franchise Firsts

Anaheim Ducks History: Franchise Firsts

February 15th, 2016 Throughout our existence, our brains acquire a plethora of memories. Some of these recollections fall into a special category known as firsts. From the first time you road a book, to your first kiss, to the first time your wife yelled at you for making the bed wrong way. All of these firsts are engrained into our minds and have helped...
Interview with Kings prospect Alexander Dergachyov

Interview with Kings prospect Alexander Dergachyov

January 20th, 2016 The WJC ended a couple of weeks ago and the Los Angeles Kings had two silver medallists in Alexander Dergachyov and Damir Sharipzyanov. Especially Dergachyov had a good tournament, being iced in most key situations and earning good ice time, even if he wasn't a top scorer for his team. In this translated interview, originally appearing...
U.S. Coach Ron Wilson Says He Didn't Research Team Russia

U.S. Coach Ron Wilson Says He Didn't Research Team Russia

January 4th, 2016 We're going to file this under misleading and confusing: Team USA coach Ron Wilson said prior to Monday's semifinal match against Team Russia that he "couldn't tell you any players on the Russian team." It was something of a confusing statement and was the subject of ridicule before the game and even more so after the U.S. lost 2-1 to...
DeBoer Takes Over Sharks With Sky-High Expectations

DeBoer Takes Over Sharks With Sky-High Expectations

July 29th, 2015 Anyone who has followed me even somewhat frequently over the years knows I'm not a big fan of Todd McLellan. The former Sharks head coach and current head man of the Edmonton Oilers gets mostly praise around the league for his regular season record with the Sharks. While top players like Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau are nothing but...
Missing: Sharks Offense

Missing: Sharks Offense

February 27th, 2013 Anytime you mention the San Jose Sharks this past month you hear people ask what happened to them. Even casual NHL fans know about the Sharks struggles, that’s when you know it’s getting bad. The Sharks powerplay has crashed and burned so bad that it has almost become as laughable as a Ron Wilson led penalty kill (See Maple Leafs...
Brian Burke Firing: Is Dave Nonis The Right Replacement?

Brian Burke Firing: Is Dave Nonis The Right Replacement?

January 10th, 2013 Just days away from a 48-game season commencing, the timing of the firing is questionable. Why fire Burke now? Why fire him with the draft and free agency already behind him?
Expectation: Nazem Kadri - Part II

Expectation: Nazem Kadri - Part II

November 27th, 2012 Expectation: Nazem Kadri is a three-part series. Part I is available here. Part III is available here. Nazem Kadri's medial collateral ligament sprain during the 2011 Maple Leaf training camp had given the organization an out. The injury meant Kadri couldn't start the season with the NHL club, regardless of his play. But the...
Toronto Maple Leafs: The Complete Twitter Guide

Toronto Maple Leafs: The Complete Twitter Guide

November 26th, 2012 The Toronto Maple Leafs may have the largest impact of all NHL teams on Twitter, something that this full list of Leafs-related accounts will show you.
Expectation: Nazem Kadri - Part I

Expectation: Nazem Kadri - Part I

November 23rd, 2012 Expectation: Nazem Kadri is a three-part series. Part II is available here. Part III is available here.   It seems all peaks and valleys when it comes to the still-young career of Nazem Kadri. The now 22-year-old forward hasn't played a full season with the Maple Leafs, and yet since being drafted June 26, 2009 there's...

Sour Grapes: Don Cherry Is Biased Against The Maple Leafs

In a not so surprising move, hockey personalty and former NHL coach Don Cherry called out the Toronto Maple Leafs organization on Twitter Tuesday over the treatment of prospect Nazem Kadri. Kadri, 21, was drafted by the Maple Leafs in the first round (seventh overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. At the time he was drafted Kadri...
Is Randy Carlyle The Right Coach For Toronto?

Is Randy Carlyle The Right Coach For Toronto?

August 22nd, 2012 With his team sinking in the standings and rumors of unrest amongst his troops, Toronto Maple Leafs president and general manager Brian Burke made a tough decision when he fired close friend Ron Wilson in favor of hiring Randy Carlyle as the Maple Leafs head coach on March 3rd, 2012. For the most part it was a popular decision,...
Toronto Maple Leafs Will Make the Playoffs in 2013

Toronto Maple Leafs Will Make the Playoffs in 2013

August 11th, 2012 They may not have a number one centre or an experienced goalie, but the Toronto Maple Leafs will make the NHL playoffs in 2013.
Brian Burke Is His Own Worst Enemy

Brian Burke Is His Own Worst Enemy

May 18th, 2012 Brian Burke has never been the shy type. For some, that made him an ideal candidate for the general manager's job with the Toronto Maple Leafs — a no-nonsense guy who could handle the media and the fans' expectations. Being a Harvard-trained lawyer, former player agent, a general manager in Hartford, Vancouver and Anaheim, and...
