A San Jose Sharks Blog

Well, I'm sure that a lot of you have heard, the San Jose Sharks are planning to release yet another third jersey. This alternate jersey will be a co-sponsored effort between Team Teal and Seagate. In fact, the new San Jose Sharks jersey will be named "BlackArmor"...just like Seagate's new portable hard drive. Given the name, I'm guessing that burnt orange will not be the primary color.

The San Jose Sharks are looking pretty good so far this year and a lot of thanks goes to the newly formed defense. However, good D isn't cheap. Along with Blake, Boyle, and Lukowich came a $13.3M price tag. So, how much are all of the Sharks making this year? Well, take a look below and you'll see that Team Teal is just under the salary cap this season...making San Jose one of the highest paid clubs in the NHL.

According to the Mercury News, a number of San Jose Sharks are already dinged up. We all know that Torrey Mitchell is going to be out of commission for at least 8 weeks (which sucks) due to a broken leg, but apparently there are a few other players not at 100% as well. Not a great way to start the season.

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.
