141106 – postgame Canucks @ Sharks

Pregame news

Back and forth game, mainly dominated by the team in black, but Sharks denied “puck luck” when the tying goal crossed the line after the final horn sounded.

Miller saved more the 30 shots, while Niemi gave up three goals on 19 shots.

Tyler Kennedy returned to action; had an assist on Sheppard’s goal.

141106 – pregame Canucks @ Sharks 7:30pm

TV: CSN CA

Sharks have their longest break of the season to date — with four full days off between games.  A chance to practice, reconnect with families, before the final (of two) homestand game and heading out on the road for seven (in less than two weeks).

Meanwhile, the Canucks are surprising some pundits with how their season has turned around (after last year’s disaster).  On Tuesday, they’re in Arizona to play the Coyotes before heading to San Jose to play Thursday.  Former Sharks prospect Nick Bonino was acquired in trade this summer and is doing well for the Canucks.

Niemi looks to get the start for the Sharks.

Burnzie’s Buzz Cut

Last year, Brent Burns had his teammates shave his head and beard.  He raised nearly $25,000 for two charities.

This year, Burns recruited a few of his teammates (Pavelski, Mueller, Goodrow, Tierney, Sheppard) and some professional stylists to shave their hair.  Through Saturday night, more than $15,000 was raised (you can still donate for the rest of this week).

SF Zoo had a guest introduced to the fans in attendance (who preferred the warm, rather than the cold rink). Monies raised for the zoo will be used for special hammocks for the gorillas.

The fans were trying to get Brodie to grab a chair to join the cause.  (Maybe next year.)

Lots of smiles and fun.

141101 – postgame Islanders @ Sharks

Pregame news

Sharks celebrated Hannan’s 1000th game before the puck drop.  Nice ceremony. But, Hannan was knocked out of the game before the end of the first.

Sharks did not score first, and they got and held a lead in the third.  Hertl broke his goalless drought, and Couture must have been inspired by the Giants to bat in the game winning goal from a bomb from the blueline.

141101 – Pregame Islanders @ Sharks 7pm

TV: CSN CA NBCSN

Sharks are coming back from a (relatively) short 3-game road trip, where they earned 5 of 6 points.  But they’re hungry for more.  They had the day off Friday/Halloween (so perhaps there will be some tweets of some of the costumes they’re having fun with). (As of Thursday night, the Sharks were one of two teams in the league who have played 12 games.) They’ll get a bit of a break with this game Saturday, and then time of practice before their next game on Thursday, and then heading back on the road (for seven games!). They lead the league in goals against in the third period, so that is definitely something to work on. (And overcome the TWO denied goals from incidental goalie contact.)

Islanders are 30th in PK, but are sitting 2nd in the Metropolitan division.

Sharks lost in a shootout when visiting the Islanders a couple of weeks ago.

It’ll be Tomas Hertl’s 50th NHL game. But he’ll be playing on the bottom 6.

Niemi scheduled to start for the Sharks (3rd in a row).

Pregame notes

Sharks had a 3-1 lead, but the Wild came back to tie it 3-3.  And the Sharks lost in the shootout.

Goodrow made his NHL debut. Mueller scored his first goal.  Thornton’s goal tied him with Damphousse on all-time points list.

Sharks are coming off a tight-defensive win in SO at Colorado.

The Wild are returning home after games in New York (Rangers) and Boston. Against the Rangers, they had a lead and lost it. But with the Bruins, they came from behind to win.

Niemi starting vs Keumper for Wild.

141028 – Sharks @ Avalanche postgame

Pregame notes

(Had to miss part of the game live for a meeting.)

Seemed to be a high defensive, goalie-dominated game.

Came down to the shootout, and the Sharks scored twice, while none of the Avalanche shooters got past Niemi.
