San Jose Sharks

By sslusser@sfchronicle.com (Susan Slusser) Twice in three days, the Sharks must face Stanley Cup Finals teams. They fell in a shootout at Detroit on Thursday and tonight they welcome the league champion Penguins to HP Pavilion. Fun scheduling. Along with having to contend with two of the toughest...

By San Jose Sharks Staff The San Jose Sharks success to start 2009-10 shouldn’t come as a surprise. They’ve got the big horses in Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, Dany Heatley, Dan Boyle, Rob Blake, Evgeni Nabokov and others carrying their weight. However, t...

By Nick Burger His first NHL goal came in his hometown against the Edmonton Oilers. With San Jose shorthanded, captain and veteran defenseman Rob Blake went down with an injury on the resulting penalty kill. Blake's vague upper-body injury has him sidelined for a week.

By Harrison Oztemel The Joe Louis Arena, one of the most prestigious stadiums in the league, has a grudge against the San Jose Sharks. For the past few visits to the Joe, the Sharks and Red Wings have been victims to blatantly terrible calls, ultimately costing the affected team a win.

By Jason Figueiredo-Dumpit Thursday night against the Detroit Red Wings, the void left by Blake’s injury immediately presented more ice time for Kent Huskins .  While Huskins is a great replacement for Blake defensively, leading the Sharks with a plus-8 +/-, he doesn't create much offensive noise. 

By PJ Swenson(jon@sharkspage.com) November 1st was the 50th anniversary of the first goalie mask worn in the NHL. Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jacques Plante forced the issue with head coach Toe Blake, and donned a mask against the New York Rangers November 1st, 1959. Sports Illustrated takes a team-by-team, goaltender...

By Darryl Hunt(noreply@blogger.com) GAME NOTES Defenseman Louis Liotti was Worcester's only healthy scratch. Both Mike Moore and Dean Strong didn't dress due to lower body injuries. Matt Jones was recalled from Kalamazoo for the game, and saw time on the first power play unit. Alex Stalock was the back-up goaltender.

By mj-kasprzak The San Jose Sharks are back on the road after a brief two-game homestand. Not that it matters—they just keep winning. After a slow start to the season (3-3-0-1), they are red hot, winning five in a row and seven of eight and moving up to the second best record in the Western Conference.

By Andy Bensch That isn't saying Patrick Marleau is bad. Far from it, the former Sharks captain is arguably the fastest player in the NHL and his ability to score on the rush and score simply based on his cannon of a shot are things Clowe simply can't do.

By Darryl Hunt(noreply@blogger.com) With the WorSharks missing Logan Couture, Jamie McGinn, and captain Ryan Vesce due to recalls to San Jose, the Worcester faithful were wondering who would step up to fill the void. It turned out to be everyone. Worcester outshot the Sound Tigers 16-4 in the opening stanza, and were it not for...

By PJ Swenson(jon@sharkspage.com) The Sharks poured it on to pop the Rangers 7-game unbeaten streak. A fan favorite among some in New York, Jed Ortmeyer scored his 2nd goal of the season, this time against his former team. Marc-Edouard Vlasic backed into a shooting lane on the PP, then set up Patrick Marleau for a point shot. Joe...

By PJ Swenson(jon@sharkspage.com) The Islanders carried a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes based on a power play tally from left wing Matt Moulson. San Jose Sharks head coach Todd McLellan dressed 11 forwards and 7 defenseman for the game, juggling lines on the fly based on performance. The top power play unit from last season, Marle...

One team was a trendy pick to win the Western Conference this year. The other club wasn't considered a good bet even to make the playoffs.

By PJ Swenson(jon@sharkspage.com) The goaltending change from Nabokov to Greiss sparked the Sharks lineup. Scott Nichol shoved Kings defenseman Davis Drewiske along the end boards, and right wing Brad Staubitz came in to finish the check up high. Staubitz was assessed a charging penalty, and among a spirited mutli-playe...

By noreply@blogger.com (MaxGiese) Nothing is ever certain in hockey, but whichever hand the 2009-2010 season deals Henderson, he’s sure to be ready for it. “Kevin is a great addition to our organization and we are looking forward to continuing his development as a professional hockey player,” said Sharks General Manger D...

By Andy Bensch No. 1: Christmas 2005, I got a Joe Thornton Jersey. Let's begin with why Joe Thornton should no longer be a San Jose Shark. Despite that, I have come to the conclusion that Nabokov is not the goaltender to lead the Sharks to their first ever Stanley Cup.

By Keith Shelton Mike Grier and Jonathan Cheechoo are both big physical forwards that can chip in here and there. Big man Christian Ehrhoff and Marc-Edouard Vlasic make up the second pairing and both are solid playmakers, though Ehrhoff is somewhat prone to defensive lapses. Edge: San Jose Edge: Anaheim

Sharks G Evgeni Nabokov -- Made a handful of huge saves after letting one squeak past him. 2. Sharks C Joe Thornton -- Set up both goals and was brilliant with the puck. 3. Flames Miikka Kiprusoff -- Kept it close and made an amazing save on RW ...

By rinkrat How thrilled is Canadiens defenceman Josh Gorges to be playing Detroit tonight? He's scored half of his career NHL goals against the Red Wings. One against Detroit on Jan. 4, 2007 in San Jose while he was with the Sharks, his other against the New York Islanders as a Canadien on Monday night.

Potentially disturbing news for the Sharks from last night’s game though, in that stud goaltender Evgeni Nabokov appeared to injure himself on the very last shot of the shootout. The San Jose Mercury News noted a possible twisted knee, but whatever the case he definitely was in noticeabl...

By jon@sharkspage.com (PJ Swenson) The San Jose Sharks vs Pittsburgh Penguins contest on Tuesday night was expected by many to be a heavyweight affair full of offensive fireworks. 2005-06 Art Ross winning Joe Thornton (29 goals, 96 assists) vs 2006-07 Art Ross winning Sidney Crosby (36 goals, 84 assists). Calder Memorial T...

The San Jose Sharks had just enough to stay perfect.

WESTERN CONFERENCE San Jose (2) vs. Anaheim (4): One of the hottest teams in the NHL against the defending Cup champs.

By Danielle Marchell However, that's not necessarily fair to say, since the post-trade deadline Sharks are a much improved team compared to most of the games the Sharks played against the Ducks before the trade deadline. The last time the Sharks faced the Ducks was way back in January.

By PJ Swenson Earlier today Joe was named as the Third Star for last week after tallying seven points in four Sharks victories.

By Jess Well, 2008 began as too many Sharks fans expected, with a loss at home. At least this time they got a point. Jarome Iginla scored twice, including the OT winner, and ex-Shark and constant reminder of a trade gone slightly awry, Miikka Kiprusoff stood large, making 34 saves for the win. Torrey M...

Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg each had a goal and two assists, leading the Red Wings over the Sharks 41 and to within a victory of reaching the Western Conference finals.

DETROIT Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg answered the call for the Detroit Red Wings top players to be at their best.

The San Jose Sharks silenced the fans at Joe Louis Arena while stunning the Detroit Red Wings with goals 24 seconds apart.

SAN JOSE The Sharks didnt need punches or power plays this time to get the upper hand against Nashville.

The San Jose Sharks may have lost top scorer Jonathan Cheechoo for the postseason. Then they blew a twogoal lead and watched the Nashville Predators dominate the final 48 minutes.
