Dudes On Hockey

The Sharks continue their postseason roll by winning the first two against the Predators- at home no less. The Dudes break down those games and try to identify keys as to why the Sharks are beating the team that dispatched the Ducks.

The Sharks do what they couldn’t do two years ago- close out the LA Kings. After losing game 3 in OT at home, the Sharks dusted themselves off and won tough in games 4 and 5.  The Dudes break it down, and talk about who the Sharks (and the rest of the NHL) might face […]

The Sharks win the first two games of round 1 in Los Angeles, but the Dudes can’t help but draw parallels to the terrible series only two years ago.

The Sharks will face the dreaded Kings in the first round, and the Dudes are trying to avoid the flashbacks of two years ago.

With the playoffs clinched with a good win against the Kings, the Dudes look at possible playoff matchups, and the likelihood of the Sharks moving up in the standings.

The Sharks handily beat the Rangers in what was likely Dan Boyle’s last game in San Jose.  Of course he scored. And the Sharks continue to nip at the heels of both the Ducks and Kings, it will likely come down to the last game or two before playoff position is set.

The Sharks beat the best team in the NHL, the Caps, and a division leader, the Bruins, this week.  They show they are capable of being the best, but what about the loss to the Devils?

The Sharks added James Reimer and Roman Polak at the deadline, with Raffi Torres, Alex Stalock, and Ben Smith exiting stage left.  What does this mean for the Sharks now, and how did the other playoff teams do?

The Sharks, due to their recent good play and the demise of Vancouver and Arizona, should make the playoffs.  What should they do now, with the deadline approaching?

The Sharks go only 2-2 on the road trip, but they beat both St. Louis and Chicago.  With all the activity elsewhere in the NHL, what might the Sharks do next?

The Sharks go 8-0-2 in their last ten, and turn it around before the All-Star break.  Can they keep it up in February against tougher competition?

With Logan Couture back in the lineup, and Raffi Torres on a conditioning assignment in the AHL, the Sharks are basically a healthy team again, and have won four straight.  How are their chances to make the playoffs?

The Sharks now have the best road record in the NHL, which is just good enough to put them in playoff position in the worst division in hockey.  Can they win at home against bad teams?

The Sharks have followed up their perfect road trip by losing 7 of 8, and the last six in a row.  Are there any positives for this team?

The Sharks only win one at home, but they are still in second place in the division.  With some very winnable games coming, and the possible return of Logan Couture, the Sharks might see an uptick soon.

The Sharks were perfect on the recent road trip, winning all six games in various fashion.  Some were come-from-behind, others low scoring; all were impressive.

The Sharks drop a home game against the Isles, but start the road trip off with two wins against Detroit and Buffalo.

The Sharks fall to two struggling teams this week, and the Dudes are looking for answers.

The Sharks lost to two pretty good teams this week before beating the terrible Avs – barely.  Will they rebound and win more against some bad to mediocre teams this week?

The Sharks dropped two more games, but when Paul Martin comes back, they win.  Plus, Joel Ward gets a hat trick!
