San Jose Sharks History:

The Sharks started the 2005-06 season slowly. Vincent Damphousse, Mike Ricci, Mike Rathje, Todd Harvey, Brown, and Marshall were no longer on the team, and the team had a hard time adjusting. Inconsistent goaltending and an inability to score goals dropped the team to last place in the Pacific Division. Forwards that had had career years in 2004 went into slumps, and the defense corps, filled with rookies and sophomores, crumbled. San Jose's only free agent signing, Josh Langfeld, was eventually placed on waivers and lost. On November 30, 2005, after losing their 10th consecutive game which dropped their record to an 8-12-4, the Sharks traded winger Marco Sturm, defenseman Brad Stuart, and center Wayne Primeau to the Boston Bruins for star center Joe Thornton. Thornton had two assists in his first game as a Shark, a 5-0 win against the Buffalo Sabres, which broke their losing streak. San Jose won Thornton's first seven games with the team. With Thornton as his new teammate, up and coming sharpshooter Jonathan Cheechoo went on a goal scoring spree. The Sharks started the 2005-06 season slowly.

With Thornton as his new teammate, up and coming sharpshooter Jonathan Cheechoo went on a goal scoring spree.

On February 7, 2006, the San Jose Sharks signed two of their brightest young stars, seemingly securing their future. Jonathan Cheechoo, the 25-year old right wing, was signed to a 5-year deal worth US$15 million. 30-year-old Evgeni Nabokov, the 2000-01 Calder Trophy winner, was signed to a 4-year deal worth US$21.5 million. Nabokov holds virtually every major Sharks goaltending record. Ville Nieminen was acquired from New York for a third-round draft pick. A slumping Niko Dimitrakos was also moved to Philadelphia for a third-round pick. The Niemenen trade seemed to pay off down the stretch, as the Sharks went 16-5 with him in the lineup.

The line of Ekman-J.Thornton-Cheechoo became one of the best lines in the NHL. Steve Bernier was recalled from the AHL and led the NHL in goals scored during the month of March. Since being recalled, he has scored the same number of goals as rookie sensation Alexander Ovechkin. Bernier, along with Marleau and Milan Michalek became an excellent secondary scoring threat. Nieminen, along with McCauley and Scott Thornton formed an excellent checking line, providing energy the Sharks desperately needed. Since the arrival of Joe Thornton, Scott Hannan, who before was last in the league in plus/minus, leads the league in the same category. With the maturation of Tom Preissing and Christian Ehrhoff into top four defensemen, and with Vesa Toskala replacing the oft-injured and inconsistent Nabokov, San Jose forged ahead. San Jose signed 2006 Hobey Baker Award winner Matt Carle to an entry-level contract in March, and Carle provided an immediate boost to the Sharks blueline. On April 15, 2006, the Sharks clinched the fifth spot in the Western Conference, meaning they would face the Nashville Predators in the 2006 playoffs.

The Sharks' quest for the cup began with Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals in Nashville. Although Mark Smith gave San Jose the early lead, Nashville proceeded to score three goals of their own before the end of the first period and won Game 1 by the score of 4 to 3. All four of Nashville's goals came on the power play. The second game of the series was also held in Nashville and San Jose scored three goals in the first period. The penalty kill for the Sharks solidified in game 2 and the three first period goals held up as Vesa Toskala earned his first career playoff shut out as the Sharks won 3-0 to even up the series at one a piece. The site of the third game was HP Pavilion in San Jose and through the first two games, the Sharks had not allowed a goal in a 5 on 5 situation. The Sharks gave up a shorthanded goal early in the first period, but proceeded to score the final four goals of the game to take a 2-1 series lead over the Predators.

Game 4 took place two days later and it was a high scoring affair. Nashville took a 2-1 lead at 5:45 of the second period, but the Sharks stormed back and scored the next four goals to take a 5-2 lead in the third period. The Predators would score two goals late in the third but it was too little too late and the Sharks won Game 4 by a 5 to 4 marker, moving Nashville to within one game of elimination.

Nashville hosted Game 5 and the first period featured very good defense from both sides, but in the final second of the first period, Steve Bernier tapped the puck past Chris Mason with .3 seconds left on the clock to send the Sharks into the locker room with a 1-0 lead. Midway through the second period, the Sharks added another goal, this one from Patrick Marleau on the power play and took a 2-0 lead into the second intermission. Nashville came out flying in the third period, playing with their postseason on the line. Midway through the third period Paul Kariya broke through to tally Nashville's first goal of the game on a power play. The San Jose defense killed off another penalty three minutes later and held off the Predator onslaught in the final minute of the third to win Game 5 by the score of 2 to 1, eliminating the Predators and moving on to the second round of the 2006 Stanley Cup Playoffs, where they faced the Edmonton Oilers.

The series was marked by brutality and extreme forechecking by both teams. The Sharks defeated the Oilers in Games 1 and 2, latter game featuring one unusual highlight when the Sharks, down 3-on-5 after two penalties, successfully defended their goal despite not clearing the puck once and two of their penalty killers breaking their sticks, making it effectively a 1-on-5 for 30 agonizing seconds.

The Sharks dropped four straight games and were eliminated from the playoffs, 4 games to 2. Of note, some San Jose fans loudly booed the Canadian national anthem prior to game 5, which was widely reported and commented upon within the Canada media. In response, Oiler fans loudly cheered the American anthem before game 6, drowning out the Oilers' anthem singer. The booing of the Canadian anthem is attributed to what San Jose fans perceived was a booing by Edmonton fans of the American anthem in before game 4, which was a reaction to an image of Sharks' forward Joe Thornton being displayed in Rexall Place. The Oilers' Dwayne Roloson effectively held off Cheechoo and Thornton.

At the 2006 NHL Awards Show at The Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts, Joe Thornton was awarded the Hart Trophy as the league's Most Valuable Player, as well as the Art Ross Trophy for leading the league in points, with a total of 125 points, the most ever by a player playing for two teams in the same season. Thornton is also the third player in three years to win both the Hart Trophy and the Art Ross in the same year, following Peter Forsberg in 2003 and Martin St. Louis in 2004. Thornton is the first Shark ever to be the league MVP. Jonathan Cheechoo also received the Rocket Richard Trophy for netting the most goals during the regular season, with 56.
