Posted on 1 Sep 2010 by Alex Wasserstrom.

Posted on 26 Aug 2010 by Alex Wasserstrom.
After the San Jose Sharks exited the 2009 Playoffs in a first-round upset to the Anaheim Ducks, the message around the Bay Area for 2009-2010 was clear: Stanley Cup or bust.

An improvement wa...

Posted on 9 Jul 2010 by Marvin Miller.

Evgeni Nabakov said good-bye to the Sharks in favour of heading to the KHL for some tax-free money that he could not get in the NHL. While Nabakov, Ryan M...

Manny Malhotra performed well in the playoffs last year and was a bargain at $700,000. But three years and $7.5 million was too rich a contract for the Sharks, so he signed with the Canucks. It looks like Logan Couture is now ready to have a larger role at center behind Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski. That is if he stays healthy, which he had a hard time doing in Junior with the Ottawa 67s. ...
