#SJSharks
captain Bob Errey wrote “16 Points For Playoff Success” on a napkin just before the team’s first-ever playoff series. Pay close attention to Number 14 tonight:
How rare was
@MeierTimo
’s 5-goal game? Well, he scored all 5 in the first two periods, and that’s only happened 5 times in the last 50 years, and for the first time in almost 28 years. Check out the other names on this list:
THIS JUST IN: Melinda and
@ErikKarlsson65
have named their daughter Harlow Rain Karlsson. She was born on Oct. 3. When asked by
@SanJoseSharksPR
what time she was born, his response was: “The time [she was born] was the time of my life.” Well put!
#Congratulations
#BestWishes
SPECTACULAR. INCREDIBLE. SHARKS WIN GAME 7! On the radio in moments: Gus Nyquist comes by to talk about the amazing comeback victory and win. Tune in!
@KFOX
Per Coach DeBoer:
#SJSharks
RW Gus Nyquist and his wife celebrated the arrival of a newborn baby. He will be here this afternoon and is in action tonight.
#Congratulations
All of us at the
@SanJoseSharks
are sad to hear about the passing of legendary
@Athletics
player and broadcaster Ray Fosse. He always made me feel welcome when I made my way to the Coliseum during baseball season. Condolences to his family and colleagues.
#BayAreaUnite
There are a lot of leaders on this team. So we needed a lot of letters.
Introducing the new
#SJSharks
captain and alternates, led by Captain
@Logancouture
!
🦈:
RECORDS ARE TUMBLING:
@MeierTimo
becomes the first player in
#SJSharks
history to score 5 goals.
@TomasHertl48
picked up his 4th assist to tie a club record, and
@ErikKarlsson65
got his 3rd assist, giving him a milestone 500 in his
@NHL
career. There's still one period to go!
WHAT HOCKEY IS ALL ABOUT:
@HumboldtBroncos
bus crash survivor Ryan Straschnitzki, native of
@ADell32
hometown of Airdrie, AB, is a guest of
#SJSharks
and gives out lineups to the team. He is inspirational to all of us.
#HumboldtStrong
Jamie is a true friend, a great broadcast partner, a top teammate, and an all-around caring individual. He is a
#SharkForLife
, and a family member forever. We will all miss him in the booth, and wish him the absolute best, always.
The Growlers are proud to announce today that the
@MapleLeafs
have named Ryane Clowe as the first Head Coach in Growlers franchise history.

Thank you to all
@SanJoseSharks
fans for listening so loyally to our
@SharksAudioNet
broadcasts this season. Lots more to come over the summer, so stay tuned:
WHAT A NIGHT:
@evanderkane_9
has just scored his 4th goal of the night. That ties an all-time
#SJSharks
record for most goals in a game (4th time ever, MR-Patrick Marleau at COL 1/23/17).
#Amazing
.
LEGENDARY WIN: SJ 2 VGK 1 in 2nd OT. ON THE RADIO NOW: goaltender Martin Jones, who set a
#SJSharks
playoff record with 59 saves, joins us to talk about the win. Join us now!
@KFOX
Awesome story: Born in San Jose, Reese Laubach played for
@SanJoseJrSharks
and
@VCHS_IceHockey
programs, and was a
@jpav8
fan growing up, as you can tell by the photo. Now, he’s been drafted by
#SJSharks
(7th round, 217th overall) as his hockey hero (7th round, 205th overall)
Sidney Crosby didn’t record any points tonight, so
@ErikKarlsson65
now leads the
@NHL
with 11-24-35 even strength points. He has points in 10 straight games.
Nice to see speedy Ozzy Wiesblatt selected 31st overall by the
#SJSharks
. Really special to see Doug Wilson, Jr. use sign language, announcing the pick, as Ozzy’s Mom is deaf.
WHAT A WAY TO GET A MILESTONE:
@Burnzie88
had a broken stick. It appears that he was handed one by
@rudolfsbalcers
, who is a left shot. Burns, a right shot, managed to get the puck to Balcers (who got a new stick), and picked up his 500th career assist on the ENG. Nice going!
GAME NOTE:
#SJSharks
are the only team in
@NHL
with five 20+ goal scorers. According to
@EliasSports
, it's the first time SJ has accomplished that in just 57 games.
Our congratulations to Joonas Donskoi for his many great accomplishments in a
#SJSharks
uniform. We’ll always remember OT in the 2016 Stanley Cup Final. Best to him and his family for good health and happiness in the future.
Via Instagram, Joonas Donskoi — who played 474 NHL games for San Jose, Colorado & Seattle — announces his retirement. Donskoi suffered a concussion in the 2022-23 preseason and did not play in the regular season.
CONGRATULATIONS TO JUMBO: Joe Thornton just became the 7th player in
#NHL
history to play 1500 games, score 400 goals, and record 1000 assists. Goal
#400
put the
#SJSharks
in front, 5-4 in the third period.
GOOD TO SEE:
#SJSharks
D Radim Simek is on the ice with his teammates this morning skate, in an orange jersey but getting closer to being ready for the year.
ON THAT LAST
#SJSharks
goal: Martin Jones records his first-ever SJ assist in his 222nd game in Teal. It's his 3rd career assist, with the other two in a
@LAKings
uniform.
LAST NIGHT:
@Logancouture
became the first
#SJSharks
player in team history to score two penalty-shot goals in the same season. Patrick Marleau is the only other Shark who had two penalty shot attempts in a season: in 2002-03, Marleau scored one goal and was stopped on the other.
#SJSharks
hit the 100 point mark for the 8th time in history, and first time since 2013-14, when they had 111. Martin Jones gets his 30th win. Kudos to
@jpav8
for an amazing game ending block on Nathan MacKinnon
It’s September, and I’m very excited to bring you another great season of
@SanJoseSharks
radio broadcasts. Whether you’re listening on
@KFOX

BELIEVE IT OR NOT:
#SJSharks
have now faced
@Avalanche
in 30 playoff games, more than any other team. Sharks have played STL and DET 29 times, LA 25 times in playoffs. SJ-COL Game 31 will be in Denver on Monday.
#SolidRivalry
To my beautiful wife for doing everything in her power to bring our beautiful little baby girl in to this world, never have I met a more determined or stronger person than you. It hasn’t been easy but after the rain…

MOMENT OF SILENCE: Before the game vs.
@BlueJacketsNHL
,
#SJSharks
had a moment of silence for all-time great
@SFGiants
1B Willie McCovey. Many people forget that in the very 1st year ('91-'92), he was a Sharks Honorary Ambassador. He looked great in Teal, too.

Congratulations to

#HHOF2020
With his 61st career playoff goal,
@jpav8
passed 2
@HockeyHallFame
members, Mike Modano and Joe Mullen, into 1st place all time among U.S. born players. He’s also tied for 29th among all players with Phil Esposito, Jacques Lemaire, and Mark Recchi, all in

We are relieved to hear that our organist
@sharksorgan
is okay after an apparent reckless driver incident after the game. Please stay safe out there, everyone.

Just been told that Guy Lafleur went to get his heart checked this morning. DR told him he needs to have Quadruple Bypass Surgery. The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Best of luck to my childhood idol.

✍️This might be our biggest "signing" since 1997✍️
The
#SJSharks
have hired Patrick Marleau as a player development coach and hockey operations advisor!
Every game and every point is important. One way to look at today: DET had a 4-0 lead on SJ on Dec. 7th.
#SJSharks
roared back to win in OT on a goal by Mikael Granlund. That one point lost actually cost DET the playoffs. Other ways to calculate it but that’s one way.
Congratulations to
@TBLightning
for winning their second straight
#StanleyCup
. Special shout-out to the former
#SJSharks
organization members who won:
@bgoodrow23
and Yanni Gourde on the ice, and especially to original Shark

on the coaching staff.
Born in

@NHLFlames
goaltender Dustin Wolf makes his NHL debut tonight against the
#SJSharks
. He’s already in a zone on the bench, getting his stick ready for action.
The 2019 Masterton Trophy goes to Robin Lehner. Congrats, and what an amazing story!
And we will forever be inspired by Joe Thornton's perseverance and dedication to hockey over the past few seasons.
