San Jose Sharks 5-0

[jrice9]

Its early but the Sharks look unstoppable right now.

In a short season, a 5-0 start is huge. They've won every game by at 2 goals.

They also if you havn't noticed have a pretty awesome team.

Last year's Sharks were 11th in goals for and 9th in goals against.

Thornton, Marleau, Pavelski, Couture, Clowe, Havlat as their top 6 forwards

Meanwhile the defense includes Boyle, Burns, Brad Stuart, Vlasic and Douglas Murray as their top 5 defenseman.

Niemi in net.
To give a sample in PSD's NHL redraft thats currently going on:

The Sharks core has players who went:

24th overall, 52nd overall, 55th overall, 70th overall 80th overall 85th overall, 87th overall, 117th overall 169th overall 192nd overall, 213th overall

According to PSD then, the Sharks have 7 of the 90 most valuable players in the league and 11 of the most valuable 215


Underrated powerhouse.



Obviously, some of it is unsustainable but the results plus the talent level makes me think this could be one of the top 3 teams in the NHL this year

The Blackhawks are 6-0...

It's not like they are playing the elite teams of the west. CGY & EDM are both bottom 10 teams, PHX has been flat to start the season and Mike Smith looks like the Smith of old. Colorado and Vancouver are the 2 best teams they've played and Colorado is .500 team, however the win over Vancouver is impressive.

Marleau only scored once so im unimpressed

[Boom!]

4 straight one goal games.

Sharks have yet to play 1

Sharks in a span of 8 days...

At Calgary
At Edmonton
Vs Phoenix
Vs Calgary
Vs Vancouver

Blackhawks...

At Los Angeles
At Phoenix
Vs St. Louis
At Dallas
At Columbus
Vs Detroit

I know what schedule I rather play...

Great start by both teams, but if you give love to a 5-0 team and leave out the 6-0 team, people are going to say something.

That power play spits hot fire. Every time I watch one of their games they have 2 goals in the first five minutes.

[OptiMized]

Marleau going beast-mode. SJS has 3 of the top 4 scorers. That team is out to prove doubters wrong.

I know its been said for the last 6 years but "this could be the year for them"

I have to agree with BOOM! on this one. The Hawks are 6-0 so far and have faced a lot stiffer competition than San Jose has played. Can't take anything away from players like Jumbo Joe, Marleau and Antti Niemi, they've played lights out. We'll see coming up next Tues when we play at the Shark Tank. It should be a interesting game.

I just feel that we've heard this all before with the Sharks. They start out hot or are finishing strong through out the year and then poop the bed just before or during the playoffs. How many times have the so-called "Knowledgeable Analysts" picked the Sharks to either make it or win to the Cup....and no dice! Lets face it boys Hawks are 6-0, SJ is 5-0 and STL 5-1 and that's it we're ONLY 6/7 games into a season. Lets give it time and let the season play out before we start thinking about lining up for a parade.

A Hawks thread can be created as well. its not like I'm a Sharks fan I just felt they deserved recognition

[RedWings13]

He started this thread to talk about the Sharks. Why did the Hawks have to come into this? He didn't say they were better than them.

When the Sharks acquired Burns last year I thought that was the final piece to them going really far. They have basically the same team this year and with a healthy Havlat and Thornton looking like he's on a mission, they will do it this year imo. I almost want them to win the Cup to shut up the people who call them chokers.

Well when you start a thread talking about a team being 5 - 0, naturally people are going to bring up a 6 - 0 team.

Oh no doubt Jrice, I don't think anyone one here was bashing you for creating this thread. It's just just a friendly reminder no matter who you root for, you never want to get too high or too low on a team when it's only 6 games into a season.
