San Jose Sharks play-offs round Two

Adversity, thy friend is a Shark.






How exciting: San Jose BEAT the Los Angeles Kings in five games during the first round of the 20-15-2016 play-offs. Those of us who bleed teal had no doubt the Sharks would move on and leave the Kings wondering what happened. Game five, in Los Angeles, was a blow out win (6-3). It was clear the Sharks were out for blood. Donskoi scored twice,  along with Tierney, Nieto, Pavelski, and Karlsson for the added to the total goal tallies. It should be noted that the games in which Pavelski scores were the games the Sharks won (the only loss he didn't).




What happens next?

My favorite San Jose Sharks players

Next week the National Hockey League playoffs begin. Unlike last year, the San Jose Sharks clinched a spot in the Pacific Division this time around. They won’t know their opponent until the end of regulation play on Sunday, 4-10. 

 

To get in the play-off mood, I thought I’d review my top ten favorite All-Time San Jose Sharks players.  As the team is celebrating its 25^th anniversary, selecting only ten was tough but I managed.

 

Here are my choices (not in any particular order):

 

Arturs Irbe (G) played five seasons with San Jose, 568 games winning 236 from 1991 through 1996 season. ‘Like Wall’ was his motto and he stood tall in goal leading the team to the play-offs for the first time in the 1993-1994 season. Irbe set records: first shut-out and most minutes played by a goaltender but it was his charisma that made him a favorite.

"You're not a real cop."

There are many types of law enforcement officers (LEOs) working to keep America safe. Most of you are familiar with the traditional street cop, sheriff's deputy, and highway patrol officer. How many know about the countless other forms of LEOs?
