San Jose Sharks

Typical of Doug Wilson's habit of showing restraint on July 1, the Sharks did not make a big splash in the free-agent market, rather secured two of their own and continued to look for ways to improve the roster. Veteran defensemen Rob Blake (one year, $3.5 million) and Kent Huskins (two years...

Winger Ryane Clowe signed a four-year deal for just over $3.5 million a season Thursday according to reports on ESPN and TSN. Clowe, 26, scored a career-high 22 goals and 52 points in 71 games last season. Clowe was drafted 175th overall in 2001 by San Jose....

SAN JOSE Sharks general manager Doug Wilson sees the opening 24 hours of free agency as the most expensive day of the year to go shopping for players, with no bargains anywhere.

The list is becoming long, but not particularly notable. It appears Marcel Goc, Mike Grier, Tomas Plihal, Brian Boucher, Lukas Kaspar, Claude Lemieux and Alexei Semenov will not be returning to the San Jose Sharks next season. Travis Moen and Kent Huskins could also join that list in the ne...

The Sharks are in contention for the services of Swedish goalie Jonas Gustavsson, thought of as the top net-minding prospect not currently under contract to an NHL team. Gustavsson was expected to make a decision between the Sharks, Colorado, Dallas and Toronto by June 29 or June 30. Gusta...

DRAFT PICKS OF NOTE: --William Wrenn, 6-1, 190, U.S. U-18 (USDP), second round, 43rd overall -- An excellent skating defenseman who moves the puck quickly and does not shy away from physical play and has good overall technique. Born in Alaska, he commuted to Los Angeles starting at the age of...

The San Jose Sharks are beginning a roster makeover by declining to make qualifying offers to forwards Marcel Goc, Tomas Plihal and Lukas Kaspar.

The San Jose Sharks are beginning a roster makeover by declining to make qualifying offers to forwards Marcel Goc, Tomas Plihal and Lukas Kaspar. All three forwards played much of last season for the Sharks, who finished with the NHL's best regular-season record before losing their firs...

The next six days from today's NHL draft in Montreal to the July 1 start of free-agent signings could provide the first insights into Sharks general manager Doug Wilson's plans to fix whatever ails his Hockey team once the playoffs begin.

By MaxGiese(noreply@blogger.com) A big, physical stay at home defenseman, Loprieno joins the Sharks organization after captaining Merrimack last season. “He’s a big, physical defenseman that shoots hard and has a physical nature to him” says Burke. Loprieno loves to look for big hits, is physical in the corners, and is to...

By John Morales With that said, Doug Wilson addressed the fans, ownership and the media explaining that changes will be made. To me it sounds like big changes are in store for this team. The aforementioned players, Jonathan Cheechoo, and Evgeni Nabokov can be the big moves.

Without a standout performance by Nabby in one of the final two games, the Sharks likely won't be able to move on. * Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau both stepped up in Game 5 with their best work this postseason. Thornton was in on all three Sharks' ...

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

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.

By Jim Neveau Overall, the team is off of a solid start, with a record of 10-4-5 this season, good for fourth n the Western Conference. They also have the fourth fewest losses in the league with four regulation defeats this year. They have the third most goals in the NHL, trailing only the Sharks and Red Wing...

By Greg Wyshynski Preview: Calgary Flames at San Jose Sharks (10:30 p.m. EST; TV: FPPV, CSBA). A rematch from last year's Western Conference quarterfinals, the Flames will see Brian Boucher between the pipes for San Jose. Dion Phaneuf's partner Jim Vandermeer will miss six weeks with a broken ankle.

The San Jose Sharks (12-2-0) have taken over the NHL’s lead since last week and now have a one-point edge on the New York Rangers (11-4-1) with two games in hand. The Sharks and Rangers, incidentally, are still the only teams to have passed the 20-point mark.

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).

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