Sharks Do Their Job, Get Some Help, And Eliminate The Avalanche In Game 7
It would have been very on-brand for the perennial choke-artist San Jose Sharks to blow it against the 8th seed in the second-round of what might be the most wide-open NHL playoffs of all-time. But to their credit, San Jose recovered from Gabriel Landeskog’s Game 6 overtime winner and got the win th...
The Golden Knights Are Furious Over How Their Season Was "Stolen"
Let’s get this out of the way right at the outset: Yes, the Vegas Golden Knights could have avoided all of this controversy—and their elimination—by simply not allowing allowing four goals in 4:01. One of the weirdest and wildest comebacks in recent memory, a Game 7 eventually won by the Sharks 5-4 ...
Sharks Avenge Joe Pavelski's Bleeding Head, Pull Off Wild Game 7 Comeback To Eliminate Vegas
The Vegas Golden Knights were cruising through the first 50 minutes of their Game 7 against the Sharks on Tuesday night, and then Joe Pavelski started bleeding on the ice. The Knights were up 3-0 and had completely sucked the life out of San Jose’s crowd, but with 10:47 remaining, a major cross-chec...
Sharks' Joe Pavelski Takes One On The Chin For His Team To Score Opening Goal
Once the Stanley Cup playoffs start, the debate over whether the structural integrity of your face is more important than a goal no longer becomes a debate. There are only two options that players have: give up your face, or let your team down. Less than 15 minutes into Game 1 of the Sharks-Golden K...
How Joe Pavelski Became A Tip Machine
It was, is, and will be for at least the next 36 hours the most important goal in Sharks history. Joe Pavelski’s redirection of a Brent Burns shot broke a third-period tie and stood up the rest of the way, the winner in a 6-3 victory that brings San Jose to within one game of the Stanley Cup Finals,...
The Sharks Thought They Got Screwed On Joe Pavelski's No-Goal
What would a triple-OT game be without some controversy? Two periods before Mike Fisher won it for Nashville to knot up the series, San Jose’s Joe Pavelski thought he had finished things off, scoring from his belly (and with Pekka Rinne pinned beneath him). It was a mess....
Yeah, OK, I'm All About The Sharks
The NHL’s playoff bracket is a little bit broken when each conference’s best two teams are playing each other in the second round, but a nice side effect is that we’re getting close series—and through two games, they look close all around. That includes Sharks-Predators, even if San Jose is up 2-0. ...
How The Sharks' Power Play Will Bite You From Any Angle
If you had the entire NHL to draft from, you might not be able to construct a more logical top power-play unit than the one the Sharks can ice every night. Maybe not the “best”—third best in the NHL this year, though—but there’s not another that’s so well-defined, that offers such weapons from every...
Joe Pavelski Muscled The Sharks To A Series Lead
Sucks for those of us on East Coast time, but the three most intriguing first-round playoff series are out West. The West has most of the best teams this year, and the best storylines, and for now the best match-ups, and none better than this year’s (first, maybe) California series. And if you went ...
T.J. Oshie Beats Russia In 4-3 Shootout
T.J. Oshie's four shootout goals proved the difference as the United States beat Russia 3-2 (4-3). It took eight rounds of penalty shots before the right combination of Jonathan Quick save and Oshie goal could be properly paired up....
