Most
important
Game 7 may very well be the most important Sharks
game ever
Tuesday night's contest is a big game for the San Jose Sharks.
In fact, it just might be the biggest game in the team's history. The Sharks
have won Game 7's before. They've even won conference semi-final series before
as well. But that's where the Sharks legacy ends. The Sharks have played in the
Western Conference Finals three times in their history, falling to the Calgary
Flames, Chicago Blackhawks and Vancouver Canucks. On Tuesday night, they will
either extend their run to the Stanley Cup Finals, or once again become a
stepping stone for another team's glory.

Clutch Game 6
Win
Sharks force a Game 7 with LA after 2-1 win
With
their season on the line, the Sharks used home ice to buckle down and take Game
6 of the Western Conference Semi-Final series with the Los Angeles Kings on
Sunday night. San Jose scored a pair of goals then hung on to extend the series
to a decisive Game 7 on Tuesday night in Los Angeles. Every game in the series
has been won by the home team, which is a trend that the Sharks will need to
end in their next meeting with the Kings.

Pushed to the brink after
falling flat
Quick shuts-out Sharks for Game 5
win
Spring rings eternal, as well as some traditions of the season. If
it's Spring, you can count on gardens blooming, graduations, and the Sharks
playing for their lives in a playoff elimination game. After dropping Game 5 in
dismal fashion on Thursday night, San Jose limps home with its season on the
line, down 3-games-to-2 in their best of 7 game series with the Los Angeles
Kings. San Jose failed to score at Staples Center for the second time in the
series en route to a 3-0 loss to Los Angeles, and now find themselves in the
precarious position of having to win the next two games or say goodbye to the
season.

Sharks dominate, then hold
on
Series tied after 2-1 SJ win
The Sharks did what
needed to be done on Tuesday night. They dominated the opening 20 minutes,
jumped out to a two goal lead, then held on for a 2-1 win, knocking off the Los
Angeles Kings 2-1 in Game 4 of their Western Conference Semi-Finals at HP
Pavilion. In doing so, they've seized the momentum in the best-of-seven series,
which heads back to Southern California on Thursday. Brent Burns and Logan
Couture scored for San Jose and Antti Niemi made 22 saves for his 6th win of
the playoffs.

Sharks take Game 3 with OT
winner
Sharks turn the tables with first win of the
series
If the plot lines of the Sharks playoff series with the Los
Angeles Kings weren't already intriguing enough, Game 3 threw in a few more
twists and turns to spice things up. Fresh off the travesty that was the
officiating blunder in Los Angeles on Thursday night, the officiating played a
major role in the outcome of Saturday night's contest, which marked the first
game at HP Pavilion in the series. This time it was the Sharks who had the
luxury of a two-man advantage to end the game.

Kings cash in on officials
gifts
LA stuns Sharks with two late goals
There are
losses, and there are losses that you'll remember for the rest of your life.
Game 2 of the Sharks Western Conference Semi-Finals will go down as one of the
latter, after the San Jose surrendered two goals to the Los Angeles Kings in
the last two minutes of regulation in a crushing 4-3 defeat. The Sharks
outplayed the Kings most of the evening, but fell victim to fate as the Kings
took advantage of the charity of referees Tom Kowal and Brad Watson in the
games waning moments.

Sharks not good enough in
series opener
Jonathan Quick makes the easiest 35 saves of his
career
The Sharks kicked off their Western Conference Semi-Final series
with the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night with a resounding thud. After
starting the game like a bat out of hell, San Jose fizzled over the last 40
minutes of play and succumbed 2-0 to a Los Angeles Kings team that took
advantage of opportunities and muzzled the Sharks in the best-of-seven series.
Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick made 35 saves for his 2nd shutout of the
playoffs.

Marleau's winner ends
Canucks season
Sharks win thriller 4-3 in overtime
The
San Jose Sharks have never won a Stanley Cup. They also never swept a playoff
series heading into Tuesday night's Game 4 showdown with the Vancouver Canucks.
You can strike the playoff sweep off the team goals list, after San Jose
knocked off Vancouver in an exciting 4-3 overtime win at HP Pavilion. Patrick
Marleau jammed home a loose puck 13:18 into the 1st overtime session, setting
the arena into a frenzy, and pushing the Sharks into the 2nd round of the
Stanley Cup Playoffs. Twelve wins now stand between the Sharks and a date with
the big shiny trophy that every professional hockey player covets.

Sharks push Canucks to the
brink
Couture and Pavelski power SJ to a Game 3
victory
The big question on everyone's mind heading into Game 3 of the
Sharks Western Conference Quarter Finals matchup with the Vancouver Canucks,
was if San Jose would play as well as they did on the road during their playoff
series. San Jose didn't exactly set the world on fire while on the road during
the regular season, so their fantastic 2-0 start in Vancouver was a
contradiction to their regular season performance. The Sharks lost only twice
at home during the regular season, but could they be as dominant during the
playoffs. Sunday night's 5-2 shellacking of the Canucks at HP Pavilion made it
clear that home is still a safe haven for the 6th seeded Sharks.

Canucks looking for answers down 2-0
If you
were poised to rip off a "Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" every time the Sharks score

Vancouver Canucks, you're out of luck. Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault
announced through the team's Twitter account that Cory Schneider will get the
nod in net tonight at HP Pavilion.

Torres stakes SJ to 2-0
series lead
Sharks overcome 3rd period deficit to force
overtime
Winning one of two games on the road to open a playoff series
is considered successful in the NHL. Winning both games is essentially putting
a stranglehold on your opponent. San Jose returns home on Friday night with a
foot firmly pressed on the throats of the Vancouver Canucks after taking Game 2
of their Western Conference Quarter Final series with a thrilling 3-2 overtime
win at Rogers Arena in British Columbia. Former Canuck forward Raffi Torres
scored one of the biggest goals of his career 5:31 into overtime to propel the
Sharks to a 2-0 series lead.

Sharks grab series opener
in B.C.
SJ takes 3-1 decision over Canucks
The Sharks
opened the 2013 NHL Playoffs the way everyone in the Bay Are hoped they would.
With a win. The 6th seeded Sharks grabbed a 1-0 lead in their best of seven
series with the Vancouver Canucks by scoring a pair of 3rd period goals en
route to a 3-1 win at Rogers Arena. San Jose played a solid all-around game and
took advantage of their opportunities when it mattered. The Canucks, who
entered the series as the 3rd seed in the Western Conference, have 48 hours to
regroup and try to find a way to gat pucks past Antti Niemi. The Sharks
goaltender made 29 saves and only surrendered a goal when Raffi Torres pushed a
puck into his own net.

And the winner will
be...
Don't even bother trying to call this one
If
there's one thing I've learned over the years is, don't even bother to try
predicting a playoff series that involves the San Jose Sharks. It will only
drive you mad. When they're favored, they get bounced early. When they play the
underdog, they somehow find a way to get it done. Inevitably, they always find
a way to break your heart. Then they qualify for the playoffs and hope springs
eternal. This could be the year…or not. Who knows.

Sunday,
Sunday
Odd timing set for Sharks first home playoff
game
The Sharks will play their first home playoff game on a Sunday
evening in this post-season. Not Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon but
Sunday evening. This is a minor inconvenience, since it kind of rules out
bringing school-age children to the game since as we know, playoff games can
take a long time to finish if the game goes into overtime. I'm trying to think
of any Sharks Sunday evening home games played in the past but I can't seem to
remember any.
