The San Jose Sharks preseason schedule is official.

They will play two games on the road and two games at home, spanning from Sept. 20-26.

The home games will come on Sept. 22 and 24, against the Vegas Golden Knights and the Anaheim Ducks, respectively. Meanwhile, their away games will be at Anaheim on Sept. 20 and Vegas on Sept. 26.

This season the Sharks will play just four preseason games – down from six in past seasons – to account for the two-game increase to the regular season from 82 to 84.

Information about the regular season schedule is yet to be released by the San Jose Sharks. Last year the schedule was announced on July 16.

The GMMG story about who he wants sunburned on this trip … he doesn’t joke much with the media, but there’s a sense of humor somewhere in there!!

Players used to say what a great teammate he was. You don’t get that without a sense of humor.

Unfortunately, without major individual awards to his name, Marleau’s HOF chances are not good without a Stanley Cup win. It’s unfortunate because 566 goals is legitimately impressive given he spent a lot of his career in a relatively low scoring era. There are some fringe talents inducted but they tend to have at least one cup win to their name.

Keith Tkachuk was just inducted

Let’s be honest, Keith’s profile got a massive boost thanks to his kids, especially Matthew. Keith had been retired since 2010 and the HOF conversation really took off in the last few years as his sons gained a lot of profile. Suddenly a de-aged Keith is on the cover of the video game. TV cameras pan to him when Matthew was playing in the Stanley Cup finals. Media is trying to get quotes from Keith all the time…not so much because of his own career or his scouting job, but because he is Matthew and Brady’s dad. Maybe if Marleaus… Read more »

I mean, that’s just moving the goalposts here. KT didn’t get in because of his kids or Mogilny would have been in way sooner due to, basically, every reporter and talking head saying he was robbed or Jagr getting a special exemption due to why he was still playing.

Patty does have a couple of NHL records that may never be broken:

Most NHL games played (might not be broken)
Most NHL games played without ever winning a Stanley Cup (Will NEVER be broken)

Don’t know if those are records that get you into the HHOF.

The second one probably not. I do think longevity counts for something. Not sure it’ll be enough.

I think the Matthew Tkachuk, Quinn Hughes, and Brady Tkachuk trades, and the Dylan Larkin trade demand suggests that impact players in their prime can come onto the market at unexpected times. And even team captains can end up elbowing their way out. I think there is a lesson here: GMs for contenders and aspiring contenders should be smart about not blowing cap space and assets on low impact adds just because nothing better is available on the market at the moment. Granted, Florida lucked out a bit here because they just happened to be bad at the right time… Read more »

So big money Mike turns little Willie Eklund, skate in the mud big tuna, and Svoboda for the 9OA!. Master stroke. Now package that 9OA for Werenski, and we are definitely taking Stenberg

Are you going to cover the Elland trade ?

I guess Zeke has a crystal ball after all. Eklund plus company traded for 9th overall.

I still think Grier may be selling off Eklund when his market value is a little low. On the other hand, I’m sure Eklund is happy to be reunited with Zetterlund.

The problem for Marleau is everyone in the NHL world knows the most games played is because he was rarely injured and that was because he rarely ever hit anyone. Gordie Howe played 2,421 games if you include his WHA games and won so many accolades it is hard to count them all. While Marleau won two gold medals with team Canada he was never on their top line and he was only a 3 time all star over 23 seasons and was never considered a top 10 forward in the league. Many felt his offensive skills were top notch… Read more »
