San Jose Sharks

In the San Jose Sharks' post-game show, a graphic showed just how one-sided the team's series with the Dallas Stars has been: three wins, no losses, 14 goals scored and five yielded, 5-for-14 on the power play.

Against the rest of the division that the Sharks have dominated for four years running—including two teams lower in the standings than Dallas—they are 4-5-0 with 18 goals scored, 19 yielded and a 5-for-42 power play.

Ever since Doug Wilson took over as the San Jose Sharks general manager he has been trying to concoct a Stanley Cup champion.

I suppose every general manager does this. What separates Wilson from the majority is that he has been incredibly successful in most areas.

The San Jose Sharks suffered their worst home loss of the season Thursday.

They absolutely dominated the opening minutes with the first several shots and a goal. Great teams expose pretenders like this...sorry, Ottawa Senators fans, a team with a journeyman goalie and a single line worth worrying about is a pretender.

Dan Boyle broke his foot against Minnesota on November 10, but only the San Jose Sharks and Boyle's family knew that fact. In the month that followed, he had no goals, one assist and a minus-six rating in 12 games.

During that time, there were numerous calls for him to be traded, including from many of my colleagues here. He is washed up, he has lost a step, he is not good in his own end...

Finally, fans of the San Jose Sharks have seen the team at its best. Now the question is, will they play with this urgency moving forward?

Just 6:21 into the game, the Sharks had exorcised not only starting goalie Mathieu Garon, but their special-teams demons.

Every time I read an article or hear a broadcast that notes the Sharks' penalty kills are going well lately, it only takes one bad game to drop them right back to the bottom of the league.

I guess Todd McLellan's punishment for the Sharks worked. Or maybe it was the Sharks hatred of the Dallas Stars. Or maybe even both.

The Sharks snapped a two game losing streak with the 5-2 win last night over Dallas. Sure, two losses in a row doesn't sound bad, but in both losses, you could tell the Sharks looked pretty lackluster.

You know those people who have to top any story you tell? Or worse, every time you get or accomplish something, they need to do it better?

That was the San Jose Sharks on Thursday.

The San Jose Sharks will be hosting the Vancouver Canucks tonight, which will mark the first regular season meeting of these two teams since the Canucks banished the Sharks from the Western Conference Finals last year.

Hey guys, I know the season started already, but it's not too far in yet. That means there's still some time for some predictions about the team, and some of the players themselves.

After a shaky start, the San Jose Sharks are back on track, currently second in the division, and fourth in the Western Conference. They own a 9-4-1 record after going 1-3-0 to start the season.

Some of these predictions may be very bold, some a little bold and some not bold at all.
