Jason Demers return for Sharks in Game 4 and play forward
Sharks defenseman Jason Demers has been out of the lineup since April 18 with a sprained left ankle, but he could return to the ice for Tuesday’s Game 4 against the Kings.
Demers says he’s ready to play, but the ultimate decision is with the coaching staff. If he is inserted back into the lineup, it may be at forward, with Adam Burish still unable to play, Raffi Torres suspended...
PLAYOFF PREVIEW PARTY - KNOW YOUR 2ND ROUND OPPONENT: SAN JOSE SHARKS
*THE FOLLOWING BELOW IS NOT WRITTEN BY THE ROYAL HALF,
BUT RATHER OUR RESIDENT CREEPER AND OPPONENT-PREVIEWER, ONE GIRL, ONE PUCK*
Let's do this one more time shall we? So much has already been said about the Sharks, but there is something that has always been kind of creepy about them. I'm not talking creepy, like me creeping on the Red Wings in Anaheim, I'...
It Is Gameday Vancouver! Game 1 Sharks vs. Canucks
It Is Gameday Vancouver! Game 1 Sharks vs. Canucks
Are we ready Canucks fans? Jump on the bandwagon and enjoy the ride.
The Canucks played their final two contests without Cory Schneider, who is sidelined with an undisclosed injury. Will they get him back tonight? He's practicing so most will assume...yes!
Chris Tanev remains out indefinitely with a leg injury, while...
Brent Burns back to blue line for now with Jason Demers out
After taking a big hit in Thursday’s win over the Red Wings, Sharks defenseman Jason Demers will miss Saturday’s tilt against the Coyotes.
With no other defenseman remaining on the active roster after the team shipped Douglas Murray to Pittsburgh, that means Brent Burns, the Sharks’ hottest forward for the past two-and-a-half weeks, will have to slide back to the blue line...
Demers on the Ice
Thank you to Ron Kaplan for confirming that San Jose Shark, Jason Demers is Jewish. Excited to have him on the time. Click HERE for more.
The Sharks’ missing Ds
The Sharks were missing a couple of Ds last night. Both Jason Demers and Andrew Desjardins missed all or part of the game for no good reason. Is it any surprise then, that the team allowed more goals against than they had all season? The NHL rescinded the match penalty against Andrew Desjardins before the game even ended. I'm sure the Blues know how the Sharks feel....
LEFTGOVERS: Preds vs Sharks – Game 8
Here are your “Leftgovers” from the Nashville Predators game on Saturday night against the San Jose Sharks…

LEFTOVER THOUGHTS:
* Nashville defenseman Jon Blum finally got into the lineup.
* Saturday night was the first time Blum had dressed in an NHL game since December 30, 2011.
* San Jose had a season debut as well. Jason Demers played in his first game since game...
Dan Boyle returns for Sharks vs. Oilers Thursday; Jason Demers still out
The Sharks blue line is getting a boost Thursday vs. the Oilers, but it won’t be the double boost they had hoped for.
Dan Boyle will return to the team’s defensive lineup, but Jason Demers will still be held out after returning to the team’s active roster on Wednesday.
Boyle missed Tuesday’s shootout win over the Ducks with some type of undetermined illness. From David Pollak...
All good things
Jason Demers is ready to play. He took slapshots Tuesday and Wednesday, and spent some extra time working with both Larry Robinson and Jim Johnson after Tuesday's practice. Wednesday, he was practicing with a power play unit. That would argue for Demers being in sooner than later. My guess is that sooner would be even sooner if Boyle is still out Thursday. Today, Frazer...
Pre-game notes, Ducks @ Sharks 1/29/13
The reports about Jason Demers and Brent Burns should be considered positive developments. The reports I mean are things like:
Jason Demers practiced with the team and took line rushes with Matt Irwin this morning while Nick Petrecki and Brent Burns skated together. Still, McLellan stopped short of declaring Demers good-to-go. -Working the Corners
Even if Demers isn't expected...
Sharks here and there
Where are the Sharks? Of course they are in Calgary, about to play a game.
But where do they stand now, with camp all wrapped up? It might have something to do with where they have been. I asked several players over the course of the week about the pros and cons of playing overseas during the lockout. There seems to be a consensus from observers, myself included, that those...
Demers and Braun on Finland
Two Sharks defensemen went to play in Finland during the lockout. Oddly, they both returned with hand injuries and probably won't be available to start the shortened season. The only thing that would make it more odd would be if it was the same hand. It isn't. Jason Demers has a soft removable cast on his right hand, Justin Braun has a cast with a port hole for...
Sharks injuries: Brent Burns’ status uncertain; Jason Demers’ wrist not as hurt as thought
Now that the start of the season has become a very real thing in sight with the lockout tentatively coming to an end Sunday, the Sharks have some very real injuries they need to deal with now.
And as it turns out, all of those hit by the injury bug are defenseman.
First there’s Brent Burns, who had had surgery in May to correct a sports hernia and groin injury that hobbled him...
Enough lockout non-news
There's a theory that refusing to give voice to your dark thoughts is more productive than letting rants run riot. I'm going to try that. The NHL CBA negotiations are going nowhere, both sides look kind of stupid, childish and not the least concerned with whether or not we see any NHL hockey this season. That wasn't a rant, just a brief statement of fact. A...
Stars fall out of playoff spot in loss to Sharks
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- Joe Pavelski scored two goals, Antti Niemi earned his sixth shutout of the season and the San Jose Sharks moved back into playoff position by beating the Dallas Stars 3-0 on Saturday night.
Jason Demers also scored for the Sharks, who rebounded from back-to-back losses at Anaheim and Phoenix to close within one point of Pacific Division-leading Los Angeles...
Sharks 3, Stars 0

Jason Demers and other game day thoughts
This morning, Brent Burns was skating with Colin White. No one skated for long, but that’s what I saw. Predictably, the other two pair were Boyle with Vlasic and Braun with Demers. Forward lines pretty much the same as in the last game. From David Pollak’s observations, don’t expect to see Douglas Murray. Niemi starts. I mean, I assume he will. He left the ice first...
Know Your Opponent: San Jose Sharks 3-20-12
As we head into the final 10 games of the 2011-2012 NHL season, I thought that we should take a deeper look at the big opponents each week. I'm too busy writing brilliant satire to do this... so I thought I'd ask one of my favorite new bloggers, Brigitte from One Girl, One Puck to take an in-depth look at the opponent that the Los Angeles Kings will face 3 times in the next...
NHL Trade Rumors: Updating the San Jose Sharks' list of possible targets
'Tis the season for trade rumors aplenty and San Jose Sharks GM Doug Wilson seems to always be at the forefront of trade deadline deals. It has become customary for Wilson to seemingly improve his team's playoff chances with a pick-up at the end of February to help boost their specific weakness at the time.However, as history shows, it has yet to get the franchise past the...
The Ballad of Jason Demers
As many of you know from this posting, I try my best to stay sane, coherent, and as creep free as possible when spotting players in the wild. I started my working life in Hollywood, and have literally rubbed elbows with some big names, all of whom I might have been somewhat excited by, but was able to keep a cool, mostly professional demeanor around. Not so with hockey players...
NHL Trade Speculation: 3 Players the San Jose Sharks Will Inquire About
San Jose Sharks' GM Doug Wilson always seems to come alive this time of year. With a little over a month before the NHL Trade Deadline, rumors of Wilson on the trade prowl have crept into the Twitterfeeds, blogs and rumor mills of Hockey Nation.Wilson's reputation as a trade machine even garnered the attention of NBC Sport's Pro Hockey Talk, as he recently explained...

Defensemen Jason Demers, Brent Burns and Marc-Edouard Vlasic also scored for the Sharks, who have not lost at home to the Capitals since October 1993. Torrey...
