This was a tough season for Sharks fans and that 5-1 loss to the Calgary Flames in game 82 certainly didn’t help. The loss kept the Sharks just below that 20-win mark, a number that didn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things, but somehow felt like a moral victory. That said, in spite of all the losses, the mission of this season was accomplished. The Sharks put the team in the best…

We made it Sharks fans! Game 82 of the season and we’re still standing. We’re still here. This is a meaningless game with no playoff implications or, in the case of the Sharks, no draft implications either. Win or lose, the Sharks are locked into the 32nd spot in the league.

The Sharks made plenty of errors and Edmonton seemed to capitalize on each and every one of them. What resulted was a 9-2 final score that could have been a lot worse. One of the biggest issues in the game was the breakdown of…

With Boston College losing in the NCAA Championship game, the season is over with for the Eagles. That means it’s time for top Sharks prospect Will Smith and Sharks management to make a decision. Does Smith leave college and join the Sharks, or would it be best for him to stay another year at Boston College before he jumps to the NHL? Maybe this isn’t the popular opinion, but the Sharks should...

The Minnesota Wild visit the Shark Tank tonight for the San Jose Sharks’ final home game of the season. This is the third and final meeting between these two teams this season.

San Jose Sharks prospect Will Smith opened the scoring for Boston College on the team’s first shot. He took a feed from Ryan Leonard, waited just a split second for the University of Michigan’s Jake Barczewski to commit to the save and then lifted the puck over the sprawling goaltender for the first goal of the game. It was just 1:20 into the game. Smith threatened several times after that opening...
