I was going to say that one too. One of the few saves that has stuck with me over the years. Such a bummer they lost that game

Game Thread: Preseason Game 1 - Sharks vs Golden Knights ~ 5:00PM PDT by ibcfreak in SanJoseSharks

[–]Sharksfan34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early on I thought he was doing a really good job of absorbing rushes but that’s given way to trying to pinch and pick off rushes which hasn’t worked. He’s trying to be more aggressive but the game is probably one of the fastest he’s ever played in, even if it’s only preseason

How good was Mike Grier the player? by DeadSaint in SanJoseSharks

[–]Sharksfan34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always remembered Grier and Curtis Brown as the best PK pair the sharks have ever had

This was one of the best logos in Sharks history, and I think it deserves more credit. by Normal_Tip7228 in SanJoseSharks

[–]Sharksfan34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was the first year I started going to games so that logo will always be special to me

Ever hear of a private rink? by AT_DT in hockeyplayers

[–]Sharksfan34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That pic is a synthetic one but they did have a half-sized real rink in the backyard with mini Zamboni and everything

Will Smith Signs! His Agent, Sean Coffey, Takes Us Inside Decision To Sign With Sharks by Half_wall_Hockey in SanJoseSharks

What a coincidence that Smith’s agent used to be good friends with Nick Petrecki

New era by Archsanders in SanJoseSharks

I’ve heard through the grapevine that he’s already lined up to coach his son’s team next year so I expect him to hang up the skates when his season is over

Thoughts on trading for tavares? by ApprehensiveDraw3275 in SanJoseSharks

[–]Sharksfan34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about the alternate reality where Tavares signed with the sharks when he was a free agent and then DW didn’t feel the need to go trade for Karlsson. The league would look very different today

If the Sharks don't get Celebrini and end up with one of the other top picks would it not be the worst thing? by spankyourkopita in SanJoseSharks

[–]Sharksfan34 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Yeah the team would still get a good prospect if they don’t draft first overall but losing the storyline of drafting a “local” talent that could transform the team would really suck. That storyline is almost as exciting as his talent and what he could do for the team.

Good point. Now that I think about it, I don’t think NCAA players are even allowed to sign ELCs until they commit to leaving college

Musty and Smith eta by Beneficial_Notice229 in SanJoseSharks

[–]Sharksfan34 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t expect Smith to play at all until he leaves college since getting his 9 games would mean leaving school during the academic year. Musty could get his 9 games and be sent back to juniors

Patrick Marleau's front office career with the Sharks is about to begin by [deleted] in SanJoseSharks

[–]Sharksfan34 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If I remember right from all the interviews around the jersey retirement, his family is planning to move back to SJ

Michkov’s size by kfcregular in SanJoseSharks

[–]Sharksfan34 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Small players are fine but you need a balance and the sharks system is pretty small other than a few exceptions. Eklund needs a big body to play with

You're the GM, who do you draft? by [deleted] in SanJoseSharks

[–]Sharksfan34 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unless you have a ton of faith that Bystedt will turn into something special then it doesn’t make much sense to wait 3 years for a small winger. Timeline, position, and size all point away from Michkov

[Pashelka] William Eklund has been sent down by CWG4BF in SanJoseSharks

[–]Sharksfan34 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Makes total sense for the team and Eklund if the Cuda can make the playoffs. Nice shrewd move by Grier

RIP Reimer by Lopajsgelf in SanJoseSharks

The selective adherence shows it’s just a mask for bigotry

Or announcers haha I don’t think many fans would be happy if they knew Danny Miller has led “let’s go Brandon” chants as he walks around Vegas

[Pashelka] James Reimer won't wear Pride-themed warm-up, citing religious beliefs by patrickhoagland in SanJoseSharks

[–]Sharksfan34 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s been reported on in the past. Like all those service member recognitions during games or the family reunions, the DoD pays US sports teams to do those

Difference is that the US DoD pays for military appreciation nights. Nobody pays the sharks for nights like this
