San Jose Sharks

Late-night feeding frenzy: Caps beat Sharks 5-2

For the first fifteen minutes of Tuesday’s late-night game in San Jose, the Capitals seemed a bit rusty. But once the fourth line starting crashing the net, the flood gates opened. This was a clinic.

Melker Karlsson outraced Radko Gudas to put the Sharks up early in the first, but the Caps came back harder. Garnet Hathaway got one up close, then Jakub Vrana exploited some lazy defense, then John Carlson released a danger-close slapshot to make 3-1 after twenty minutes.

Hathaway scored his second goal of the game in the second period, taking a pass from Nic Dowd and paying the price for it. Jakub Vrana got jealous, so he scored his second goal of the game before intermission, making it 5-1 after two periods.

The Sharks pulled Martin Jones for the third period. The Sharks got one more past Holtby, but that was that.

Caps win!

In addition to being the first-ever woman to compete in the NHL All-Star skills competition, Olympic gold medallist, five-time IIHF Worlds Championships gold medalist, and Isobel Cup champion in the NWHL, Kendall Coyne Schofield can now add San Jose Sharks color commentator to her laundry list of accomplishments.

“I’ve always felt a part of the San Jose family since I left that moment,” Coyne Schofield told NBC Sports, referencing her time at the 2019 NHL All-Star weekend. “And everyone’s been so supportive, and the outreach from the San Jose community just to me as a hockey player has been unbelievable. So, I’m really excited to transition that into the broadcasting realm.”

San Jose Sharks get a puppy named Finn for the 2019-20 season

The San Jose Sharks have started the offseason with a bang. On Monday, they re-signed Erik Karlsson to an eight-year deal and Friday they announced their acquisition of a new yellow Labrador puppy named Finn for the upcoming season.

Finn measures one-foot, four-inches and weighs slightly more than a watermelon, eight pounds. He should be a great addition to the squad.

The Blues-Sharks game was a messy, injury-filled debacle

The Sharks and Blues entered Game Five of the Western Conference Final tied with two wins apiece. And while the game started off relatively evenly–the Sharks had eleven shots in the first period, but the Blues had one goal on four shots–the Sharks sank pretty quickly after that.

The Blues ended up with twice as many shots as the Sharks (40-21) while the Sharks had six times as many penalty minutes (36-6).

By the end of the game, the Sharks’ bench was six players short: Erik Karlsson, Joe Pavelski, Tomas Hertl, and Joonas Donskoi with injuries, and Micheal Haley and Evander Kane for misconducts.

Halfway through the third period the Sharks even tweeted out a picture of their depleted bench with an emoji version of the sarcastic “this is fine” meme.

San Jose Sharks beat Philipp Grubauer and Colorado Avalanche to advance to Western Conference Finals

The Colorado Avalanche came into San Jose’s Shark Tank (aka the SAP Center) for the finale of an intense, back-and-forth Second Round series. The Sharks ultimately proved triumphant, beating the Avalanche 3-2.

The game was intense and much of the pace dictated by close calls and injuries, but captain Joe Pavelski’s fairytale return was the story of the night. The Sharks’ captain was back in the lineup for the first time since Game Seven against the Vegas Golden Knights when he incurred a scary head injury. He opened the scoring in the first period and led his team to victory.

San Jose Sharks win Game Seven in OT after insane third period comeback

Chomp chomp: the San Jose Sharks won Game Seven of their series against the Vegas Golden Knights in one of the most surprising, eventful, and entertaining comebacks in the Stanley Cup playoff history.

The Sharks were trailing 2-0 entering the third period, lost their captain to injury, then scored four times on the ensuing five-minute powerplay to take things to overtime. Ultimately last year’s Stanley Cup runner-ups exited in the first round.

Knights’ head coach Gerrard Gallant said that this particular loss was worse than losing in the Stanley Cup Final, while Sharks’ head coach Peter DeBoer said it was “the craziest game I’ve ever seen.” Both coaches are right.
