Are the San Jose Sharks Playoff Ready?
Not many people circled the game between the Chicago Blackhawks and San Jose Sharks on March 26 as a big game. For the Blackhawks, it was another game in a lost season. Key players, including captain Jonathan Toews and top goalie Corey Crawford, were missing. For the Sharks, however, it was perhaps as crucial a […]

Jonathan Cheechoo Calls It a Career
A couple of years ago, I sat in a diner in Montreal next to couple who hailed from a small town in Saskatchewan. They told me about their son. He had needed a more rural life, after struggling to adapt to life in the “big city” of Saskatoon, population about 250,000. For many, it’s difficult […]

Sharks Prosperous but Costly Road Trip
Throughout the season, every time the San Jose Sharks seem to take two steps forward, they always seem to take one step back. It is why they are still fighting for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Sharks three game road trip to western Canada, though, resulted in three steps forward and four […]

The San Jose Sharks’ Thin Margins
The San Jose Sharks just finished their last lengthy homestand of the season, six games in total, and did just enough to call it a success, collecting eight points. But this was the sort of opportunity which only comes along once in a season and well, it could have been better. The Sharks played a […]

At the Crossroads of Culture, Family, Science and CTE
One of the most complex issues facing sports, including hockey, is chronic traumatic encephalopathy, CTE, a brain disease associated with violent head trauma. It has been six years since John Branch’s seminal reporting on the death of hockey fighter Derek Boogard, at age 28, and the advanced CTE which was found in a posthumous study […]
Critical Date for the San Jose Sharks
On Mar. 9, 2017, the San Jose Sharks played their 66th game of the season when they hosted the Washington Capitals. The Caps would go on to win the Presidents’ Trophy as the team with the best regular season record. But, on this night, the game was controlled by the Sharks. Eventual Norris Trophy winner […]
The San Jose Sharks Power Up
With newly acquired Evander Kane, the San Jose Sharks can ice a formidable power lineup. Is this the right approach, though, for San Jose? Following the Stanley Cup Final loss to Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016, Sharks general manager Doug Wilson cited the need for the team to improve its speed. For many years, the California […]
San Jose Sharks Path to a Stanley Cup
The San Jose Sharks are not a sure thing to make the playoffs, yet this season might be among their best chances to win the Stanley Cup. Several things need to align for this to happen. Still, it is a strangely promising path. I’ve identified five keys to a Sharks playoff run to a Stanley […]
San Jose Sharks Answer a Different Question
As the San Jose Sharks headed into their home game against the Vancouver Canucks, the story line lasered in on the obvious: Brent Burns returns to forward. An injury to Tomas Hertl led to Burns playing a few shifts at forward late in the game against the Arizona Coyotes. With the injuries still in play, […]
Sharks Have a Difficult Night in San Jose
The San Jose Sharks missed an opportunity against the league’s last place team with a 2-1 loss on Tuesday to the Arizona Coyotes. It was a night where several of the Sharks competitors in the Western Conference playoff race also lost. A chance to put some distance between themselves and their close rivals disappeared in […]
John Tavares, Kirk Cousins and the Sharks
As San Jose Sharks fans keep a close eye on the insane race for playoff spots in the Western Conference, there are probably a few also keeping an eye on what is happening on the other side of the country. The Sharks management certainly is, with the Feb. 26 trade deadline quickly approaching. For the […]
Will Brent Burns Get Peter DeBoer Fired?
Following the 5-3 loss to their division rival, the Vegas Golden Knights, San Jose Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer held a testy postgame press conference. Already (rightfully) upset over both the officiating and an injury to Joel Ward, he was asked about Brent Burns ‘two-way game’ and responded, “he’s our most dynamic guy, there’s no doubt.” […]
Sharks Venture Through the Looking-Glass
The San Jose Sharks have no time to deal with the loss of Joe Thornton. The NHL, like other sports leagues, requires a “next man up” approach. If Joe can’t go, someone else will. It is about the team, not the individual. The Sharks have been among the league’s healthier teams this season. Many teams […]
Can All-Stars in San Jose Help the Sharks?
The NHL announced the 2019 All-Star Game will be held in San Jose. I expect the All-Star Game and related weekend events will be fun. It’ll look great both in the arena and on television. Any event with Brent Burns front and center is promising. For the hosting team, the San Jose Sharks, the question is […]
Small Silver Linings in Thornton’s Injury
The San Jose Sharks have been led, for the past dozen years, by future Hall of Famer Joe Thornton. He is in historic and elite NHL company. His place on the all-time assist list tells the story — the three guys immediately ahead of him, and not far ahead, are Mario Lemieux, Marcel Dionne and […]
Sharks Storylines: From Little to Jumbo
The games between the San Jose Sharks and Winnipeg Jets are sometimes referred to as the NHL’s version of West Side Story. The movie musical featured rival gangs named the Sharks and Jets. And like the movie, the latest contest between the Sharks and Jets provided drama, plot twists, disagreements, villains, victims, pain and anxiety. […]

As the San Jose Sharks head to the second half of the season, there are some notable milestones recently achieved or are likely to occur soon. We’ll cover some of these here. Joe Thornton The man who’ll deliver the most milestones is Joe Thornton. The future Hall-of-Famer is moving up the all-time lists for points […]
