But despite winning ...

After out-shooting the Colorado Avalanche 148-73 in Games 2 through 4, the San Jose Sharks finally got rewarded in Game 5, dominating on the scoreboard as well as the shot clock. Despite controlling the play throughout the majority of the first four games, the Sharks were only able to manage a 2-2 split heading into a pivotal game 5. But upon their return home, the dominance at ...

"It is a brand new series." "Best of 7 turned into a best of 3." San Jose Sharks center Joe Pavelski tied up San Jose's first-round series with the Colorado Avalanche at two games apiece on Tuesday night with a wicked wrist shot at 10:24 of overtime.

After last season ended bitterly for the San Jose Sharks (losing their first-round series to the eighth-seeded Anaheim Ducks) three pressing issues were evident on Team Teal's roster. 1) They lacked a pure go-to goal scorer. 2) They were missing "sand paper" role players. and 3) They were in need of better secondary scoring.

However, the way they have snapped out of their recent funk should start to put more fear into the minds of the rest of the Western Conference playoff contenders. Now two wins after a six-game losing streak (five straight in regulation) may not be enough to say the Sharks are completely back on track, but the ...

When it comes to losing streaks, sometimes coaches have to dig deep into the bag of tricks in order to get their team to snap out of a funk. San Jose Sharks Head coach Todd McLellan did exactly that on Tuesday night in Minnesota as he split up his team's top three scorers onto three different lines. By separating his star players, McLellan landed on the following forward combinations: Malhotra-Marleau-Pavelski Clowe-Thornton-Mitchell Heatley-Couture-Setoguchi McGinn-Nichol-Ortmeyer The Sharks may have ...

Here we go again. With 12 games remaining in the regular season, the San Jose Sharks are starting to slip. And while some fans will say I'm overreacting, the numbers simply don't lie. The goaltending has been far from adequate this month and the situation doesn't look to improve anytime soon. During the last five games, the Sharks have allowed a combined total of 23 goals, an average of 4.6 per game. Starting netminder Evgeni ...

Colin Campbell, the man in charge of deciding the "appropriate" punishment for transgressions in the NHL, is by far the most idiotic and unintelligent head of discipline. Now, there have been numerous instances to show why Campbell is such a lunatic when it comes to handing out suspensions, but no example is as crystal ...
