Joonas Donskoi scored two goals and tallied a shootout marker in the Sharks’ 3-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks Tuesday night.
The team honored the Finnish forward the best way they knew how. Inspired by a viral video earlier in the day, the Sharks’ social media team edited a MARTA bus overtop Donskoi’s stunning first goal.
Friday afternoon, the San Jose Sharks made a temperature joke at the Vegas Golden Knights’ Twitter account.
The Bay area is having a heat wave and it was hotter in San Jose (104°F) than it was Las Vegas (102°F). That sounds tame, but they would immediately regret it.
The San Jose Sharks have already won best season ticket holder perk of the year. Before putting the ice back in SAP Center yesterday, the Sharks honored their season ticket holders in the coolest way.

Marc-Édouard Vlasic was set to have a relaxing Sunday after the San Jose Sharks chose to protect the defenseman in the expansion draft.
But instead of sitting back and putting his feet up, Vlasic worked up a sweat, saving his hot tub from bees. This is very important business, people.

A handful of NHL teams made last-minute trades before the NHL roster freeze went into effect Saturday.
The goal of most of these deals was to maximize assets, open room for players on certain teams’ expansion draft protection lists, and leave the Vegas Golden Knights with as little talent as possible.
Every team I've talked to the last few weeks is working on some variation of: "How do we give Vegas almost nothing?" Tampa pulls that off.

Thirty-seven year-old dreamboat Joe Thornton got eliminated from the playoffs when his San Jose Sharks fell to the Edmonton Oilers in six games. Thornton played in the final four of those games, and he did it with a significant knee injury.
As Coach Pete DeBoer put it, his knee was “just floating.”

Good morning, hockey fans. If you stayed awake into the wee hours of Friday, you got to watch a fast-paced, evenly matched game between two good teams. It would have been even nicer if the Caps had won. Or if you didn’t have work in like 5 hours.
Daniel Winnik started the scoring with a nifty assist by Beagle, but Thornton struck back not long after. The second period saw goals by Pavelski and Connolly, but a pair of power-play goals by Couture before and after the second intermission gave the Sharks enough margin for the win.
Sharks beat Caps 4-2. The Caps never win in San Jose. It is written.

The Capitals are kicking off their west coast road trip tonight against the San Jose Sharks.
Bad news bears, the Sharks are pretty good against the Capitals, who are 2-8-2 vs. San Jose in their last 12 meetings. So, I don’t want to say the Caps will probably lose this one…but the Caps will probably lose this one.
Get your nap in early because puck drop is at 10:30 PM on CSN.

The Caps lost to the San Jose Sharks 3-0 in a slow, painful battle. This stops their winning streak at five games.
The game started off with a slow paced first period ending in 0-0, despite some impressive hustle and penalty kill skills. The Caps finish the period with 4 shots to San Jose’s 9.
The scoring finally began to happen 12:23 into the second period where Joel Ward helped create a stream for Marc-Edouard Vlasic to score. The scoring for San Jose continued about five minutes later, with 17:26 left in the second period. Brent Burns ripped one passed Holtby and the second period ended with the Sharks on top 2-0.
The third period started off with a power play for the Capitals. Brenden Dillion with a holding against Evgeny Kuznetsov, but ending in a no score. With 6:12 left in the third period, the Caps had one more chance for a power play after newbie Kevin Labanc tripped Tom Wilson. The Caps were unsuccessful and Joe Thornton added an empty netter late to seal it.

Chomp chomp, the Caps are facing the Sharks tonight and y’all have BETTER voted. Not for the presidential election, I’m talking about the bobblehead election.
Happy Tuesday, the Sharks are not doing too well in comparison to how they stood at the end of last season. You know, the cup final and all. They’re sitting at .500 and I’m sure the start of this six-game road trip for them won’t help. The San Jose Sharks have also called up Kevin Labanc who is expected to make his debut tonight, who is apparently not looking too shabby (number wise).
Anyway, I still miss Joel Ward.
We begin at 7:00 PM on CSN. CHOMP CHOMP.
