San Jose Sharks - NHL Hockey Returns to the Bay Area
The San Jose Sharks are a professional ice hockey team based in San Jose, California. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). They play their home games at the HP Pavilion at San Jose.
George and Gordon Gund, whose 1967-68 NHL Expansion Oakland Seals proved nonviable resulting in the sale and eventual merger of the team with the Minnesota North Stars, wanted to bring hockey back to the Bay Area and asked the NHL for permission to move the North Stars there in the late 1980s, but were vetoed by the league. Meanwhile, a group led by former Hartford Whalers owner Howard Baldwin was pushing the NHL to bring a team to San Jose, where a new arena was being built. Eventually a compromise was struck by the league, where the Gunds would sell their share of the North Stars to Baldwin's group, with the Gunds receiving an expansion team in the Bay Area to begin play in the 1991-92 NHL season. In return, the North Stars would be allowed to participate as an equal partner in an expansion draft with the new Bay Area team.
In May 1990, the Gunds sold their share of the North Stars to Howard Baldwin and were awarded a new team to be based in San Jose. For their first two seasons, the Sharks played at the Cow Palace in Daly City, just outside San Francisco. The Sharks were one of the worst teams in the NHL, quite common for expansion teams. The Sharks amassed an NHL record 71 losses in 1992-93, and they also suffered a 17-game losing streak, while earning a mere 24 points in the standings and winning just 11 games. San Jose fired coach George Kingston following the end of the 1992-93 season.
The Sharks opened the 1993-94 season in their new home, the San Jose Arena (now the
HP Pavilion at San Jose
). Under new head coach Kevin Constantine, the Sharks pulled off one of the biggest turnarounds in NHL history, finishing with a 33-35-16 record and making the playoffs with 82 points-a 58-point jump from the previous season. They were seeded 8th in the Western Conference playoffs and faced the
Detroit Red Wings
, who were favored to win the Stanley Cup. However, in one of the biggest upsets in
Stanley Cup
Playoff history, the underdog Sharks shocked the Red Wings in seven games. The Sharks were eliminated in the second round.
The Sharks have reached the playoffs twice more (in 2003-04 and this year, 2007-08) under current head coach Ron Wilson. The
2003-04
season saw another turnaround for the team, resulting in the team's best season ever. An injection of youth, with players like
Christian Ehrhoff
and
Tom Preissing
, and the influx of energy with
Alexander Korolyuk
jump-started San Jose. They posted the third-best record in the league with a team-record 104 points (31 more than the previous season, and the first time the team had earned 100 points), won the Pacific Division championship, and were seeded second in the Western Conference. The Sharks defeated the
St. Louis Blues
4-1 in the conference quarterfinals and stopped the
Colorado Avalanche
4-2 in the conference semifinals. The Sharks, in their first conference finals, fell to the
Calgary Flames
4-2. This year, in their 3rd playoff appearance San Jose lost to the Dallas Stars in round 2.
