Sharks

As the National Hockey League season nears its midway mark, the league standings are an appealing sight to any Sharks fan. Having accrued the best 26-game start in the NHL’s illustrious 91-year history, San Jose has steamrolled over the competition, boasting the league’s best record, goals per game average, goal differential, shots per game average, shots against per game average and shot differential heading into their Dec. 11 tilt with the Anaheim Ducks. Suffice to say, it’s been a good year. But it makes little difference if the Sharks end the season 55-0.
