angryjay93 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 No one saw more goals this season than San Jose Sharks fans, in 56 games there were 531 total goals, 331 by Sharks players. This style of play was able to lead the Sharks into the 5th seed of the playoffs with a 38-15-3 record. The highlight of the season was a 15 game winning streak that catapulted the Sharks into playoff contention, but inconsistent play the rest of the season marred the Sharks ability to content for a top spot in the West. Pierre Turgeon, Mark Recchi, and Jimmy Carson all had incredible seasons to lead the Sharks potent offense. On defense Alexei Gusarov was a huge suprise with a massive offensive production and solid defensive play. Ray Bourque had a mostly up and down system but is among defensive leaders in points and penalty minutes. Tommy Soderstrom epitomized the up and down play of the Sharks the entire season but was able to do just enough to be the anchor in the back for a contending team. The reward for the Sharks is a matchup with Mike Gartner and the Boston Bruins in the first round. The season series was a close one being a 2-1-1 advantage for the Sharks. Both teams feature offense heavy styles and could provide an intriguing matchup that includes a ton of goals.

IAmFleury'sHipCheck Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I look forward to the first round of the playoffs against such a formidable opponent as AngryJay. I have a feeling that it will be a grueling series drenched in a bloodbath of offense. Good luck to you man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
