A look at how the Canucks somehow got both Daniel and Henrik Sedin and also all their other players, in a fun chart form.
A look at the voting history of the Vezina Trophy and what it means for Antti Niemi. By the way, did you know that only three Western Conference goalies have won the Vezina?
Sharks and Kings battle in a potential playoff preview, only to end in a manner not allowed in the playoffs, thank goodness. Sharks top Kings 3-2 in the shootout.
Sharks have been one of the most consistently successful teams this past decade, making the playoffs every year. The Kings have not, but they won the Cup last year, so they can kind of throw out all the losing years and declare themselves winners.
Sharks trade conditional 6th round pick to the Nashville Predators for Scott Hannan
Logan Couture shows off to Canada by scoring two goals and adding one more in the shootout to lead a come-from-behind victory over the Edmonton Oilers.
I'm not sure if those here have heard, but the Chicago Blackhawks have been pretty good this season. Obviously not as good as the Miami Heat, but good nonetheless. The success and crazy point...
In a game that had no redeeming qualities except for, um, nope, no redeeming qualities, the Sharks are embarrassed by the Columbus Blue Jackets.
In their fourth game of the season the San Jose Sharks host the Colorado Avalanche in an afternoon game at the Shark Tank.
The NHL lockout meets one of the greatest trilogies of all time: Back to the Future. A parody that poses one solution for fixing the lockout.

Marc-Edouard Vlasic from Miikka Kiprusoff. Logan Couture from Vesa Toskala and Mark Bell. Joe Thornton, Dan Boyle, and Martin Havlat from ...Not Mike Craig? Fear the Fin's third annual examination of how the current Sharks roster came to be.
Last Wednesday, Sharks alumni faced off against Russian legends in a charity game to benefit the Jr. Sharks Scholarship fund. Sharks fans were so hockey-starved that tickets sold out in 30 minutes, leaving some people (including myself) out of the fun. So in case you weren't able to go, or even if you were (jealous), here are some post-game interviews with Curtis Brown, Kyle McLaren, and GWG scorer Owen Nolan. Click here for some photos of the event. The third one is my favorite.
Fear the Fin takes a look at what kinds of moves Doug Wilson has made during the draft for the past nine seasons, and whether or not they have produced NHL players.
First tweeted by the Mercury News's David Pollak, the news that the Sharks were expected to announce this afternoon was revealed to be the acquisition of Brad Stuart's rights. In return, the Sharks send Andrew Murray and a conditional 2014 7th round pick to Detroit (the condition being, of course, signing Brad Stuart). Brad Stuart, the Sharks' 3rd overall draft pick in the 1998 draft, was traded away from the Sharks on November 30, 2005 along with Marco Sturm and Wayne Primeau in the famous Joe Thornton trade. He scored 6 goals and 15 assists last season, as well as led the Red Wings in hits. Stuart's family has remained in San Jose since the trade, and he was reportedly looking to sign with a team in California once he became a free agent. This means that it is almost certain that Brad Stuart will sign with the Sharks, which now raises questions about the fates of the other San Jose defensemen.

The second part of the Conference Finals roster history series, an analysis - complete with flow charts! - of how the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers built their rosters through free agent signings, draft picks, and trades.
For the first time ever, two Pacific Division teams face off in the Western Conference Finals. In a special preview that has nothing to do with the play on the ice, we look at how the Los Angeles Kings and Phoenix Coyotes rosters came to be through drafting, trades, and signings.
As you all know by now, I am a San Jose Sharks fan. And as you probably should know, I am one of the writers at the SBN Sharks blog, Fear the Fin. One of my favorite (and most time-consuming)...
The San Jose Sharks meet up with their quite confounding Pacific division rival Phoenix Coyotes in a game that could have big implications for the playoff picture.
The San Jose Sharks fail to overcome a lackluster start and fall 3-2 to the Carolina Hurricanes.
During pre-season, some of the San Jose Sharks went to the Spin-A-Yarn restaurant in Fremont for a taping of Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. Last night, the episode finally aired. And as a reluctant avid viewer of Kitchen Nightmares, I can say that the Sharks got more air time and importance given to them than other big names that have appeared on the show. Link is to the Hulu stream, which will be available for non-plus subscribers in a week. If you don't care about the show other than just seeing the Sharks, skip to around 35 minutes in.
Tonight, the San Jose Sharks take on their Eastern Conference doppelganger Washington Capitals.
It has come out today that the NHLPA has refused to agree with the realignment proposal the NHL had come up with earlier in the season. This means that there will be no realignment next season, and the current division and playoff format will remain. As this is the final season of the current CBA, I would guess that the NHLPA would like realignment to be in the discussion of the next CBA, or is using it as a bargaining chip of some sort. Of course, it could just mean they disagree with the return to divisional playoffs, unequal conference sizes, increased travel for the Eastern teams, or the issue of the Florida teams in the same conference as the Northeastern teams.
Ryane Clowe's unexpected forehand shootout move gives the Sharks a 2-1 win over the rival Los Angeles Kings.
Many of you have already seen this, but here's the annual San Jose Sharks holiday video. I must say, it's fabulous!
Want to know what Grier's First Law of Hockey is? How about the various nicknames the players have? The FAQ is everything you'd need to know to comment at Fear the Fin.
After losing to the Blues in a game whose level of excitement rivaled that of the Seahawks-Browns game, the San Jose Sharks gear up for a game against the Chicago Blackhawks. A brief look at the effectiveness - or lack thereof - of the special teams for both squads.
Turnovers and defensive miscues sink the Sharks as they lose 5-3 to the Florida Panthers.
