LATEST STORIES FROM SHARKS HOCKEY ODYSSEY

10/3/09 Sharks @ Ducks 7p

So, put simply, Thursday sucked. Evgeni Nabokov looked rusty, the offense looked off-kilter, and the defense looked, well, I don't know how it looked, because most of the game I couldn't really see it.Colorado, full of energy from their 5 day Joe Sakic slurpathon (might be...

Opening Night Sharks @ Avalanche

After a summer of waiting that began way too early AGAIN, the day is finally here. The San Jose Sharks, revamped over the off-season, begin their journey that can't possibly end more disappointing than last year...can it?For us SF Giants fans, today is poetic. The Giants were officially...

Catching up

San_jose_sharks_a6bc
Ok, so its been about 7 months, a gap that won't be kept up following this post.Quick hits:- The Teal won the Obama Trophy and were McCained in the opening round of the playoffs by that Disney team in the outskirts of LA.- Changes were promised by then GM Doug Wilson (still GM...

2/9/09-2/13/09 sharks 5-2 and Boston

Phoenix_coyotes_v_5dae
First, the city. Many of you may know this, but Boston is a great sports town. Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and while I was here, college hockey as well. There's a ton of history in this town, a lot of it devoted to those teams, the rest of it devoted to this country. While here,...

How they're doin

San_jose_sharks_c771
No Nabby, no Cheech, and up until last Sunday, no problem.The Teal are clearly motivated to do something this year, because they're playing strong, 60 minute contests. They're hitting, forechecking, shooting, crashing the net, anything it is taking to win, they're doing...

Games 4-7

Picimg_nhl_mar_05_6297
Anyone who has been following the Sharks recently knows three things: 1) The offense is pretty good, 2) the defense is iffy, and 3) us here at the Odyssey (me) haven't been doing a great job at keeping you up to date on all of that. But, just like the Sharks, business here is just...

San_jose_sharks_2baa
I've been incredibly busy recently, and the blog has suffered a bit. But have no fear, the resurgence of the blog is here. I got three games to cover, so let's start there.But first, an incredibly sad piece of news out of Russia yesterday. Rangers prospect and current KHLer...

Dear SWA

As some of you may remember, or most of you won't, I was on TV in March of 2007. I was interviewed during the 1st Intermission of the Sharks game from Raleigh against the Carolina Hurricanes. While being interviewed, I was asked to give a travel horror story that one such as myself...

Blake, Boyle, and Lukowich, oh my!

San_jose_sharks_3c21
Its been a little while, so lets catch things up, shall we?July 3rd, I'm sitting at my computer, and what do I read, but that the San Jose Sharks have signed longtime really old guy Rob Blake. Back in the 60s (or something), Blake was a feared defender, with a strong right-handed...

Free Agency Frenzy

Hossa
First day of unrestricted free agency is in the books, with a lot of activity to talk about. After Christmas itself, the start of free agency in the NHL is as close to Christmas as you can get. As has been aptly described by the folks over at HF Boards, July 1st for Sharks fans however...

The draft, she's a comin'

Friday night is the first round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, held in Ottawa this year. Sharks fans know the draft as Doug Wilson season, when the SJ GM wheels n' deals more than a pizza delivery guy on SuperBowl Sunday. The future of the NHL will be present, however, it won'...

And the new Sharks Head Coach is...

Atlanta_thrashers_v_cd5e
Who?!?Yeah, that's pretty much how most Sharks fans feel right now, as the search is over for a new skipper, and the results yielded are just a tad anonymous in nature. Todd McLellan becomes the 7th Head Coach of the Sharks, and will be entering his first year as an NHL Head Coach...

Oh Canada (or at least the closed-minded towards warm weather hockey cities part)

DISCLAIMER: I'm going to reference Canadians a bunch of times, and am not intending to lump every Canadian together. But to save myself and you from having to wade through explanations whom exactly I'm objecting to, I'm pointing it out now. If you are a Canadian and you...

Ron Wilson fard and other type news

San_jose_sharks_c771
So, unless you've been under a hockey based impenetrable rock the past two weeks, you probably know that...- Ron Wilson got fired. I like that complacency isn't covering it anymore, however, I feel this was a move that made sense after last year's exit, but that he wasn...

5/4/08 DALLAS 2, sharks 1 4OT (Dallas wins series 4-2)

San_jose_sharks_c771
Took a real long time, but that's how it ends, in Game 6 of the second round. Again.The Sharks 2007-2008 season came to a disappointing end Sunday night, albeit in a new and different heartbreaking fashion. A tremendous Game 6 saw the Sharks and Stars battle for more than double...

5/2/08 SHARKS 3, dallas 2 OT

Calgary_flames_v_d1e8
Ok, forget about last game, this was your stereotypical Sharks elimination game. Sharks kinda show up until they get scored on, then disappear into the summer skies, and lose by a 2-0 margin...wait, they did what? AGAIN? No ****ing way.Well, it took a third period Dallas meltdown,...

4/30/08 WCSF #4: sharks 2, DALLAS 1

Yeah, your stereotypical Sharks elimination game, they show up until they get scored on, then fold up and prepare for the sum... say what? They didn't lose? Well, hey, that's cool.The Sharks staved off elimination last night, something they're gonna have to do a few more...

4/29/08 WCSF#3 DALLAS 2, sharks 1 OT

Before each home playoff game this year, the Sharks have put a heart beat on the jumbotron and ring around the lower bowl, synching it to exciting music and video. Ladies and gentlemen, the Sharks are 60 minutes from flatlining.On a night that started pretty well, with a pp goal that...

4/27/08 WCSF #2: dallas 5, SHARKS 2

Phoenix_coyotes_v_50e6
Hmm...sucks.On the bright side, Game 2 was not like Game 1. Unfortunately, that's because the Teal made more mistakes, and Dallas played much better. Despite a 2-1 lead going to the third thanks to goals by Joe Pavelski and Milan Michalek, the Stars decided to play three periods...

4/25/08 WCSF #1: dallas 3, SHARKS 2 (OT)

Picimg_nhl_mar_17_e7b4
Much hyped series, Sharks come up flat in the waning moments, and lose Game 1. I've seen this before.Despite a strong effort by the Sharks on Friday, the Stars showed up when it counted, and came away with first blood. Brendan Morrow had a pair of goals, Mike Modano had the other...

4/22/08 WCQF #7 SHARKS 5, calgary 3 (SHARKS WIN SERIES 4-3)

Jeremy Roenick is God. That is all. The notion of Sharks/Flames Game 7 throws back to '95, the first time these teams met in the post season, when it was #2 vs #7, albeit in the other direction. Interestingly enough, the difference makers last night were two guys who were playing...

3/11/08 sharks 2, NASHVILLE 1

Its been a couple days, and it's still a little weird to look at that L10 in the standings and see the Sharks as 10-0-0. But I'll take it.In yet another game that seemed like a playoff atmosphere, the Sharks eked it out, getting a goal from Milan Michalek, and another from...
