Ron Wilson fired

It was announced today that Ron Wilson had been relieved of his head coaching duties for the San Jose Sharks. The only thing surprising about this move is how quickly it happened and not the move itself. In past years, Team Teal's management team usually took a number of weeks off after a playoff elimination before making any moves or announcements. However, this time around, President Greg Jamison didn't wait to pull the trigger.

Sharks not as healthy as we'd hoped

I thought that the San Jose Sharks were generally healthy going into the playoffs and I still believe they were. However, after a grueling series with Calgary and then Dallas, Team Teal was banged up. Some of the reports released weren't surprising, while others were. Regardless, injuries are a part of the game and they shouldn't be viewed as excuses to a disappointing early exit. However, it is somewhat satisfying to know that a number of guys were hurt and not just lacking in heart.

Sharks faceoff against Flames

Well, the post-season is finally here and it's going to be a tough one. The Flames have had San Jose's number this year, beating Team Teal three times out of the four games played during the regular season. But as one Sharks fan reminded me, Calgary has yet to face the "new" Sharks...a team with a brand new All-Star defenseman and a whole lot of confidence (thanks to an 11 game winning streak).

The young Sharks are hungry

Preseason is a great opportunity to test line combinations, give rookies a taste of the NHL, and work off the summer rust. Unfortunately, the Sharks lost in a shootout last night, but after reading notes about the preseason opener against the Kings, one thing stood out in my mind: the Sharks organization is really deep.

Back-to-back shutouts bring no guarantees

David Pollack's article, in today's Mercury News, takes a look at Coach Ron Wilson's current goalie situation. Even though Evgeni Nabokov has posted over 126 minutes of shutout hockey, it does not mean that he is the new official starting goalie...nor should it. Granted, Nabby has been hot lately, but he is still only 4-5-1 in his last 10 games. Even Nabokov himself said, "It's only been a few games or whatever...let's not rush to make any conclusions."
