History was made (likely short lived) in the tank tonight as the sharks piled up 15 goals in a 15-1 win over the visiting lightning. All three forwards for the sharks had atleast a hat trick, Turgeon with 6, Recchi with 4, Carson with 3, and Bourque pitched in a couple from the blueline. "Things clicked, not much else to say about what happend tonight, we wanted to relax, but we didnt know the tiebreaker rules so we just had to keep going, its not something we are proud of at all," said a remorseful Mark Recchi. Defenseman Darius Kasparitis was the only player to not take part in the perfromance only adding a single assist. "I just kind of laid back tonight and made sure someone was playing d, also i dont feel as bad as the other guys,i put up an assist, what did i really do to score all those goals? if anything im worth 50 goals a season as long as i stay the hell away from the offensive zone," joked a jubilant Kasparaitis. In his first appereance of the season, backup goalie Darren Puppa got the nod for the third period and was impressive in making 2 saves on big slappers from the other side of the ice. "It felt good to go out there and be a part of the team, just the fact that the manager knows im alive and i can put these big pads to use is a relief. Hopefully with my performance will warrant me some more ice time in the future, i mean i like to play hockey, its a pretty cool sport," said Puppa. With 31 points in 21 games the Sharks are nearing the midway point of their goal. "With the way i see things we need 70 points at the least just to make the playoffs in this division, at 31 in 21 games were on pace, we still have a lot more division games left so that will decide this teams fate," said Angryjay.

in the league with toronto i had... borshevsky-gilmour-clark macoun-ellett I dont realyl have a team i use a lot, i kind of threw myself into the fire with Toronto. My LA Kings combo is worth noting tough robatille-carson-sandstrom zhitnik-blake Notice that sandstrom is at wing and gretzky is riding pine? im sure you did, i catch a lot of grief for that.

my first comparison to KGman, ill take that as a huge compliment, thank you Deer, feel free to message me anytime for more games.

Congratulations on the performance in the Stanley Cup finals, you have gotten your revenge on KGman. A deserving champion to say the least, good luck next season in defending your crown.

i talked to the LA manager, hes gonna start playing his games, so i dont think we need to worry about him anymore.

Jimmy Carson is experincing his best season ever, and the dream ride isnt about to stop yet. Carson potted home 8 goals in 2 games as the San Jose Sharks handle the Oilers 5-2 in Alberta and 6-0 at the tank in San Jose. Captain Pierre Turgeon pitched in 6 points to help aid Carson in his razzle and dazzle show. With these 2 victories the Sharks are now racking up the wins in games they need to win. "We are doing what we set out to do, beat the teams that are below us, we need to keep beating these teams because we cant be giving up ground to anyone. We got some tough games tonight from the Oilers, they are a solid team, they shut down our one timers completly and thats our main weapon. If it wasn't for Carson's antics and his crazy dekes we would have been in a pair of dogfights. We have to tip our cap to the Oilers, they played tough and we wont be taking them for granted in the two games we have with them later on in the season," said a complecent manager AngryJay. Carson has been getting fan mail left and right about him finally giving his first interview of the season, but the respectful winger declined all attempts to get some words out of him. "He's just a quiet guy you know, he likes to slap on the gear and go out and play, hes not much for words. Hes more of a silent killer, youll never hear him get too high or low, he just goes out and does his job," stated Ray Bourque when asked about Carson. With or without the Carson interview the Sharks are still playing well and with 14 wins in their first 20 games, they dont have much to complain about.

A new theme has emerged this season for the San Jose Sharks, it is balanced scoring. Pierre Turgeon and Mark Recchi each had 2 goal, 3 assist nights while Jimmy Carson notched another hat trick for his breakout season in a 7-2 win over the Nordiques. Carson and Turgeon paired up to score the games first 5 goals and create havoc for the other team all night. "We faced some pretty tough defense tonight, but we just worked through some checks and made the plays when they were there. It feels good when you see everyone on the team contributing, its hard to stop a team when anyone can score at anytime," said the Captain. Goalie Tommy Soderstrom has picked up his game as of late with a strong 7 save performance tonight. "Things are starting to look a litle bit bigger, i just need to take this performance and gain some confidence from it, hopefully more games like this are to come," said Soderstrom. Next up on the schedule for the Sharks is a trip to Alberta to face the Oilers with the return match in San Jose coming immedeatly after.

i saw roccopan on this afternoon, but then he went awol on me after we agreed to play. so your guess is as good as mine on the where abouts of these guys.

The San Jose Sharks stepped onto home ice for a complete performance, it may not have been ideal, but the end result was a 5-3 win over the visiting senators none the less. The Sharks took 4 penalties including a roughing call on Mark Recchi during an Al Iafrate breakaway led to two power play goals for the Senators. But the sharks were able to out do the sens with a power play goal of their own and 3 shorties. Captain Pierre Turgeon capped off a wonderful night with his second short handed goal in the second period to cap another hat trick. The Sens were competitive all night long but couldnt manage to break through the sharks defense in the latter stages of the game and ended up taking the tough 5-3 defeat. "we took a lot of penalties tonight, but instead of letting it kill us we decided to man up and play hard, it turned into 3 shorties and proved to be the reason why we won," stated Turgeon. Leading scorer Jimmy "six pack" Carson didnt factor much in the game tonight by scoring the insurance goal late in the third period. His performance this year has still been spectacular and he continues to lead the league in points, but that lead may not last long as the rest of the teams in the league catch up in games played. With a record of 11-5-0-1, the Sharks are starting to find their groove again after an ugly losing stretch earlier in the season.

I dont know how many people usually vote, but when less half of the people in the GENS A league vote for awards its a major dissapoinment. If awards are given out on 8 votes, how valid are they? I dont know if a deadline will be extended, but i just thought i would voice my feelings.

The Sharks were able to fix half of their problems against the Penguins tonight, and it turned out to be enough of a tweak to manage a 7-5 home win. In a back and forth game, Mark Recchi was able to slam home a blistering slapper past the stick side of Patrick Roy early in the third period to give the Sharks a lead they would never lose. "I just wound up, closed my eyes and shot the puck as hard as i could, i manged to find a hole and slipped it by," said a relieved Recchi after the game. Jimmy "six pack" Carson continued his strong play with a 4 goal performance that helped keep the Sharks in the game when they were taking penalty after penalty. But on the flip side of the coin, goalie Tommy Soderstrom is continuing to struggle with his duty of stopping the puck. "The puck is small enough as it is, but right now it just looks like the size of a pea, i cant seem to find it, even when my technique is good and im in the right spot im just letting the goals in still. A pair of Kirk Muller's goal tonight did that very thing to me, hes a great player, but when im in the position to stop the shot, i need to do it. Im letting this team down and they bailed me out, i need to start bailing them out," said a demoralized Soderstrom. Some fans have been starting to call for backup Darren Puppa, but it seems to be falling on deaf ears. "Hey, Tommy is our man. Darren has been working hard in practice just incase we need him and i hope that work ethic carries on. But for the forseeable future, tommy will be our man in the pipes," stated Sharks manger Angryjay. With the win in tonights game the Sharks have climbed back atop the division, but with everyother team in the division having games in hand, that position at the top is shaky at best.

The San Jose Sharks are in the midst of their first slump of the season now losing 4 out 5 and are struggling with their play on both ends of the ice. Even though the sharks handled the flames 5-4 in the first meeting, games of 9-7 and 5-4 went against the Sharks as they are frustrated with their play. "When you score 16 goals in 3 games, you should win each one, instead we only won one of those games. Its totally unacceptable, our defense was pathetic, especially in game 2 and our offense was not clicking at all believe it or not. We had so many missed chances it was sad, we cant win games like this, if we dont put our chances home, we have no shot at making the playoffs," mumbled a frustrated Angryjay. "I take responsibility for our inability to win lately," said Captain Pierre Turgeon. "Right now were just going through the motions it seems, we played horrible in those three games even though our offense was put up a lot of goals. It seemed like a lot of the time wed have our play going or wed have a break and then the puck takes a bad bounce off our stick and it ends up 200 feet away in our own net, were not playing any sort of d what so ever, we gave the other team too much space. We can play in shootouts and we can play in defensive battles and everything in between. But with the way were playing were just gonna drop in the standings and fast. We need to look at ourselves and see how we can get better, we have the guys and we have the manager, we have the gameplan as well, but the execution is way beyond lacking, its pathetic. We arent playing orurgame at all and that needs to change fast," said Turgeon in the post game conference. The Sharks will now look to regain their winning ways, but the schedule doesnt get any easier.

Coming into their two games against the blackhawks, the Sharks were leading the league in goals per game, that is no longer the case. After a 6-3 beating and a 1-0 OT loss, the sharks have some regrouping to do. In the first game the sharks were in a quick hole as Russ Courtnall and Derek King put home 3 goals in the first period. Pierre Turgeon though put home a big slapper past Belfour to make it 3-1 before the end of the period. In the second the Sharks were able to slam home a pair of one timer beauties past Belfour for a decisive thrid period. In the third Courtnall opened the socring up in the first minute with a nasty deke that sent Soderstrom reeling for the rest of the period. After a bothced penalty shot by Turgeon, the Sharks were never the same and the Hawks tacked on two more for a big 6-3 win. In game 2 the sharks came out with a different game plan. contain Russ Courtnall. It worked for the entire game, but the sharks were unable to capatilize on numerous one timer opportunitites as missed shots and amazing defense kept the sharks at bay. In the first minute of overtime though Mark Recchi had a yawning far side of the net after dekeing belfour to sleep,but he missed the net. This caused a breakaway chance for Sergei Federov who was hauled down by Ray Bourque. Fedorov made Soderstrom look like a fool with a big deke, but he missed the net as well leaving the game at a scoreless tie. After multiple chances for each team, a two on none deep in the sharks zone isolated Soderstrom and Derek King slammed home the easy one timer goal to seal the deal for the Hawks. "Im very dissapointed with our results we worked hard and gave this team everything they could handle in both games, but we just fell apart at the wrong times and didnt take our chances to be in control of either game. This was a good team we played and there is no shame in losing, but when we play like we did, especially in the second game, we need wins," said a disappointed Angryjay. With these two losses the sharks fell into second place in their division and are now 3 points behind the blackhawks, the only saving grace of these two games was the one point earned in the OT loss. By the way backhander, you played amazing, game 2 was another one of our classics, i hope to have more of those in the future.

well im not a big fan of people killing the clock but i wont sit here and say i never do it. Today in my game against new york i ended up trying to kill the clock by just clearing the zone a few times when i was down 2 men in the third period. Its not something i wanted to do or am proud of, but i just didnt want my 3 guys to be beaten by mario's skill, eklund's hardiness or courtnalls speed. I did open my attack back up though when i was back to even strength. Also i must note some guys playing style is like killing the clock, habs loves to hold the puck with one guy and skate around or do some timely passes and im somewhat similar, sometimes our styles lead to killing the clock without doing it on purpose. So saying people kill the clock on purpose isnt much different in execution than some other peoples game plans.

In a game that took 4 days to complete (thanks to controversies and technical difficulties) the Sharks finally faced off in full agains the Blueshirts. It was well worth the wait as the Sharks escaped with a 5-3 victory. Captain Pierre Turgeon was able to get back on track with a hat trick against Mike Richter who looked a bit overmatched at various points in the game. "It's about time i started scoring again, we've been struggling a little bit lately with consistency and hopefull this performance is a step in the right direction for me as a player and us as a team," said Turgeon. Jimmy Carson also stepped up with another big performance by producing a goal and 3 assists, his move to San Jose has launched his career to the next level. Tommy Soderstrom provided another night of solid goalkeeping by keeping the dangerous Ranger forwards like Mario Lemieux and Geoff Courntall at bay with onle one goale a piece. "We were just able to put a real solid game against one of the beasts from the east, if we can play like this every game, were gonna be dangerous, real dangerous, teams need to start looking out for us because were very hungry," exclaimed and excited Soderstrom. While the Sharks have had a quick start to the season, they are tied in first place with 3 other teams atop the western conference, performances like these must be commonplace if they hope to sniff the playoffs.

Contuining their hot start, the Sharks were able to wrestle away two tough games from the LA Kings. Game one went into overtime as Jimmy Carson was able to score the game winner off of a sweet feed from Mark Recchi to win 5-4. In the second game at the shark tank, the Sharks jumped out to a 4-1 lead and were able to preserve it by winning 4-3 Goalie Tommy Soderstrom kept the dangerous Kings forwards at bay with his sharp goaltending in both games. "Sometimes you have to be a little lucky and other times you just need the other team to shoot the puck right at you to keep the game close. Luckily for me i had a little bit of both working for me in these games," said an exhausted Soderstrom. Leading scorer Pierre Turgeon didn't provide much offense in the two games by providing only a goal and an assist. But Jimmy "Six pack" Carson was able to pick up the slack with 5 goals and an assist while Mark Recchi decided to get in on the action wtih 2 goals and 4 assists. "When you play with Turg and Mark your bound to get bundles of chances, lately ive been finding a way to light the lamp on those chances at an alarming rate," proclaimed an excited Carson after the second game. The Sharks have now won a season high 4 games in a row and sem to be riding their high, but they still have some tough matchups with Philadelphia and the Rangers coming up on the schedule. "The success we've had so far has been nice, but we still have a lot of things to work on, consistency is the main one. Too many times i see us digging holes or letting teams back into the game, we need to work on playing a full 15 minutes of hockey," stated the mild mannerd coach, Angryjay.

I, Angryjay apologize on the behalf of the San Jose sharks organization for what took place in tonights game. It is never our intention to go out and put teams through the experience we have just put the New Jersey Devils through. We respect their organization and the players (especially Doug Gilmour, hes a swell fellow) and hope that they are able to recover from what has happend tonight. Also on a less somber note, the San Jose Sharks are going to reward their 3,332 diehard fans that attended the Devils game by allowing post game interviews for their players once more starting with their next game.

After being so close in the last game you played, its unfortunate to see this happen to you. Hopefully though you can play some more games like you did against Tampa, if you can do that you will surely win some games. By the way i love the vintage photos, i have no clue where you find them, but they are awsome. Also how long is Tom Delgado's leash?

Ive played both of these guys and without these teams they are top talents, the fact that they have detroit and chicago has very little to do with the fact that they are there in the finals. Teams matter, but not as much as a lot of people like to make it out to be.

that 5th goal in game 2 was sick,ive only seen it once 10 years ago when i did that to Mike Vernon,i never thought id see it again.

thats a lofty predicition, itd be a miracle if it came true/

The San Jose Sharks came into the Pacific Coliseum looking to start the season off on the right foot with a win over the hometown Canucks, but they paid the price in doing so. The Sharks were able to walk away with a 6-4 win, but they were crushed by numerous body checks from Canuck players. Although the Canucks outhit the Sharks 48-15, the Sharks managed to stay on their skates long enough to jump out to a 4-1 lead after Mark Recchi goal midway through the second. Vancouver managed a late rally to make it 5-4 just a bit past midway in the third, but Pierre Turgeon capped off a great night with his hat trick goal on a onetimer goal set up by Jimmy Carson while shorthanded. "Vancouver was coming on hard not only with their big hits but some timely goals, luckily though we got a break shorthanded and i was able to provide some insurance," said Turgeon in his post game interview. After tonights game it is unclear who the Sharks will play, but it is clear that the Sharks will need an extended rest to heal their aching bodies.

97 goals? call me what you will, but im a tad bit sketpical about that one.

controllers, thats a mugs game.
