Epic Fail
Presidents Trophy winners go down in flames
With the
ghosts of playoff failures past circling the rafters of the Honda Center, the
Sharks nightmare series against the Anaheim Ducks came to an uninspired end on
Monday night as the home team dispatched the underachieving visitors in a 4-1
laugher. Anaheim employed a familiar game plan that sat back and let the Sharks
try and scratch out goals with long range shots that consistently proved
ineffective, then pounced by sending people to the net and converting big goals
when it mattered most. The great disappearing act of 2009, marks what can
arguably be called the biggest disappointment in franchise history for the
Sharks.

Sharks
live to see another day
Marleau's OT winner sends series back
to Anaheim
If you were anywhere in the vicinity of downtown San Jose on
Saturday night and didn't know who won the Sharks Western Conference Quarter
Final game against the Anaheim Ducks, the roar that enveloped the city streets
solved that mystery. Cheers and honing horns could be heard for blocks after
the Sharks rallied in overtime to knock off Anaheim 3-2 to force a game 6 in
Southern California on Monday. Patrick Marleau scored 6 minutes into the extra
frame, saving the Sharks who squandered a 2-goal lead in the 3rd period.

Ducks push Sharks to the
brink
Rookie Ryan man handles San Jose
A lack of
urgency and numerous defensive breakdowns have the Sharks teetering on the
brink of elimination from their quarter finals playoff series with the Anaheim
Ducks. Anaheim ’s top line of Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Bobby Ryan
continue to lead the way, while the Sharks top players have gone AWOL. Patrick
Marleau failed to generate a single shot on goal and Joe Thornton played one of
his worst defensive games in teal as the Sharks were shutout 4-0.

Boyle's offense does the
talking
3-point night for defenseman as Sharks take Game 3
With the power play finally clicking, the Sharks rebounded in Game 3 of
their Western Conference Quarter Final series with the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday
night, taking a 4-3 nail biter at the Honda Center. Defenseman Dan Boyle scored
a pair of goals for the Sharks and added an assist on Patrick Marleau's game
winner midway through the 3rd period to pace the Sharks.

Fear the
Reaper
No more room for error
What is going on here?
The Sharks are down 0-2 and their President's Trophy looks a bit tarnished. Of
course we're all pissed. Two losses in close games would be hard enough to
take, these were two games where the Sharks looked totally outclassed, and
against those sucky Ducks from Anaheim. The reaper is ready for a kill Thursday
night!

Deja vu
again
Two games played. Two games lost
Unfortunately
this year's version of the San Jose Sharks is looking more and more like every
other year's version. The one big exception is that this team is likely bowing
out in the very first round of the post season. Normally the Sharks tantalize
their fans enough to get them into the second round. This season the Sharks
earned the NHL's best regular season record by virtue of flying out of the gate
like 23 men on a mission (those of you who attend the game's can attest to the
irony of that much used HP Pavilion playoff slogan).

No answers for Hiller or
Ducks
Ducks take 2-0 series lead after winning 3-2
If
the Sharks are trying to dispel the notion that they’re playoff
pretenders, they’re either setting us all up for one of the greatest
con-jobs of all time, or the notions are true. Another offensive drought cost
San Jose in game 2 on Sunday night, as the Sharks dropped their second straight
to the Anaheim Ducks at HP Pavilion. Home ice advantage is a mere afterthought
after the Ducks scored twice in the 3rd period to take a commanding lead in the
best-of-seven series.

Paranoia
or cognitive analysis
Are fans wrong for worrying?
To
say that the San Jose Sharks initial foray into the 2009 Post-season was
disappointing would be the understatement of the year. Sharks fans all across
the Bay Area have been swept over with a wave of zombie-like depression after
one lackluster performance. Local sports radio has been besieged with calls
from local hockey fans venting and expressing their frustration and
disappointment to a degree never seen prior in these parts. The fact that so
many people seem to care does show that the team is growing in popularity. That
is a good thing. The fact that so many are voicing their angst is a sign that
the team is not playing very well and that is not a good thing.

Not the start Sharks were
looking for
Ducks unphased by San Jose's home record
So
much for that President's Trophy. So much for the best home ice record in the
NHL. With home ice on their side, the Sharks kicked off the 2009 Stanley Cup
Playoffs the same way they ended the regular season. With a thud. San Jose's
high energy offense opened the game with after burners on full, but a failure
to score would doom them in a 2-0 loss the 8th seeded Anaheim Ducks on Thursday
at HP Pavilion. The Sharks top line of Patrick Marleau, Joe Thornton and Devin
Setoguchi went AWOL, including misfires on 6 power play chances.

Let the second season
begin
SJ needs to be aggressors vs Anaheim
The
NHL’s second season is here. For the Sharks, this is arguably the most
important post season in franchise history. Outside of a Stanley Cup
Championship, anything else will classify the 2008-09 season as a failure.
Those were the expectations that this franchise hoisted upon its own shoulders
when they fired Ron Wilson last summer.
