San Jose Sharks Tickets

San Jose Sharks Tickets

San Jose is very much so acquainted with the postseason and will once again end up working its Shark mojo after the 2012-2013 NHL regular season has come to a close and the Stanley Cup playoffs have begun. The HP Pavilion at San Jose will be looking upon familiar faces as well as enjoying familiar results with San Jose Sharks tickets for a team built around a pair of star forwards.

Those star forwards are left wing Patrick Marleau and center Joe Thornton. Marleau is always putting up excellent goal totals while Thornton puts up impressive assist numbers. However, the rest of the forward rotation has been increasingly underwhelming. Center Logan Couture and center Joe Pavelski are better setting themselves up than the wings, which has been one of the reasons the team has gone from the Western conference finals to a disgraceful first round exit in a couple seasons. The addition of right wing Adam Burish adds some muscle to the outfit.

The return of Brad Stuart to the blue line is going to add toughness to the group. Dan Boyle and Douglas Murray are a great pair for the first line of defensemen. Boyle is man to move the puck to the forwards and Murray is the stay at home defender to help goalie Antti Niemi to bounce back from the slight statistical drop off he endured last season. If Brent Burns and Marc-Edouard Vlasic are another mix of talent and position, then the Sharks are well on their way to returning to the postseason.

The San Jose Sharks are obviously going to be killer on power play finishes, but they struggle when asked to kill the opponent’s power play. If the playoff experience is going to go beyond a series, then this has to change. Luckily the team will have a long regular season to fix the issue with current personnel or with some midseason replacements. Either way, the SJ Shark tickets are going to land a chance to check out a winning team in the regular season and possibly a run in the playoffs.
