Sharks Buzzer Beater Helps Net Them A Crazy Win Against The Capitals
The San Jose Sharks and Washington Capitals both decided not to play defense on Tuesday night, and we were all better off for it, as their game ended in a thrilling 7-6 overtime Sharks victory.

NHL Player Safety announced on Saturday that Vancouver Canucks forward Antoine Roussel would be fined $5,000 for biting San Jose Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic during a scuffle in Friday’s game.

Erik Karlsson Is Finally Free
It comes about a half-season too late, but longtime Senators blue-line rock Erik Karlsson is finally getting the hell out of the ruins of Ottawa.

Alleged Cyberbully Fiancé<em></em> Mike Hoffman Laundered Through Sharks To Panthers
In an obvious, inevitable move, the Ottawa Senators dumped longtime forward Mike Hoffman this morning in a trade to the San Jose Sharks. In the deal, the Sens got a replacement winger in Mikkel Boedker, defensive prospect Julius Bergman, and a late draft pick. More importantly, they also got the cha...

Okay, Confirmed, Evander Kane Is A "Playoff Player"
In his ninth season, in his fourth city, Evander Kane had played 574 games without ever making the playoffs. (That was just five games shy of Carolina’s Jeff Skinner, who now has no real challengers.) So when Kane earlier this week called himself a “playoff player,” he was talking style, not experi...
Sharks Players Make The Mistake Of Badmouthing City Of Winnipeg
Ahead of the San Jose Sharks’ trip to Winnipeg on Sunday, NBC Sports California tweeted a video that appears to be culled from a larger one asking Sharks players their least favorite road trip destination. Three players—forward Tomas Hertl and defensemen Justin Braun and Tim Heed—picked Winnipeg, an...
Nazem Kadri And Joe Thornton Get Mad, Get Thrown Out Of Faceoff Circle, Fight
The Leafs’ Nazem Kadri and Sharks’ Joe Thornton got chippy with each other about as fast as possible tonight—sniping at each other in the faceoff circle to the point of getting kicked out of the circle before dropping gloves to start fighting, all of two seconds into the game. ...
Henrik Lundqvist Really Blew It This Time<em></em>
Hockey dude Henrik Lundqvist literally fell flat on his face on this play that gave the Sharks their fourth and final “goal” last night....

This Chris Wondolowski Whiff Is A Crime Against Soccer
Remember when Chris Wondolowski was presented with a golden chance to put the USMNT through against Belgium at the 2014 World Cup and proceeded to completely screw it up? This is worse. ...
Oilers' Leon <em></em>Draisaitl Tossed For Crotch Spearing As Sharks Take 6-0 Lead<em></em>
About midway though the second period of the Edmonton Oilers game against the San Jose Sharks, Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl was ejected for spearing the Sharks’ Chris Tierney right in the dick and balls. Edmonton was down 5-0 when Draisaitl lashed out....
Logan Couture Ate A Puck And Lost A Tooth

Big Dustin Byfuglien Takes Out Three Dudes At Once
Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien is listed at 6-foot-5, 260 pounds, and depending on the time of year, even that might be severely underselling it. The point is you don’t want to be in his way when his brakes go out. ...
Chris Stewart Punches Teammate, Corrects Situation By Punching Opponent
Hockey scrums can be a chaotic mess of limbs, so it’s understandable that the Wild’s Chris Stewart would accidentally biff teammate Zach Parise in the face during Sunday’s game. What’s better is that Stewart tried to play it off by smacking someone else....
Martin Jones's Collar Made A Lucky Save
The Wild beat the Sharks 3-1 last night, and it would have been worse if not for Martin Jones’s totally accidental, totally unrepeatable save on a Chris Stewart shot. The Wild players threw their arms up as if Stewart had scored, but you can’t see what happened till you check the replays:...
Matthew Tkachuk Snags Brent Burns's Stick, Takes It To Bench, Gets Penalty
Calgary Flames rookie Matthew Tkachuk caught the stick of San Jose’s Brent Burns in last night’s game, but didn’t drop it on the ice. The 6-foot-2 Tkachuk nonchalantly skated to his bench with both twigs as the 6-foot-5 Burns followed. Doesn’t he know it’s not wise to upset a Wookiee?...
This Is Cute
Getting Sharks wingers Tomas Hertl and Tommy Wingels to throw on noise-blocking headphones and try to read each other’s lips is a good bit to begin with, but the real star here is Hertl’s giggle....
Sharks Sign Brent Burns To Massive Contract Extension
Brent Burns and the San Jose Sharks have agreed to an eight-year contract extension to kick in next season, which will pay the blueliner a reported $8 million a year....
Where Can The Sharks Go From Here?
The pessimists’ view—the Sharks fan’s view, perhaps, by this point—is that after all this, after two fantastic months, San Jose merely found a brand new form of dickpunch. They’ve lost every other way before, in every other round, but not until 2016 did the Sharks and their fans discover what it’s l...
