Start of something new update
New Fear the Fin Logo Here’s the direction Fear the Fin is headed Hi everyone! If you’ve tuned in over the last few weeks, you’ve noticed that we’ve tried our best to ensure that you have somewhere to keep up with our beloved Sharks. We wanted to give you a quick update on where things stand on our end. As you see, we’ve worked with a graphic designer and come up with a kick butt new logo. (I may be biased.)

Sharks at Flames: Lines, open thread and how to watch
Stan Szeto-USA TODAY Sports Plus, San Jose is last in the league! A quick update on the league standings before we jump into today’s game. The San Jose Sharks are now 32nd in the league! Thanks to a 5-4 Columbus Blue Jackets win over the New York Islanders last night, the Sharks and Blue Jackets both have 53 points on the season. Since San Jose has played one more game than Columbus, the Sharks are last in the league. For those of you keeping track, the lottery odds that the team that places last in the league gets the number one pick in the draft are 25.5%. While the...

Eklund returns to the Barracuda
Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports Why that’s a good thing Over the weekend, the San Jose Sharks sent William Eklund back to the AHL. The idea is he’ll play for the San Jose Barracuda for the rest of the season. While it’s tough to watch when you think about how well Eklund acquitted himself throughout his eight game stint with the Sharks this season, it makes sense from a business and development stance. This decision had nothing to do with Eklund’s play and everything to do with the future of the Sharks. The Entry-Level Contract (ELC) Through his short tenure...

“He’s just a little water bug out there”
Neville E. Guard-USA TODAY Sports Plus, Quinn talks about whether Eklund will stay in the NHL The San Jose Sharks lost last night, but it was one of the team’s better games of the season. For me, it’s the kind of loss you can accept when you know there’s a draft around the corner and a potential team changing player in your future. It makes you feel like the team’s not as far away from being competitive as it looks. The 2-1 overtime loss to the Seattle Kraken helps San Jose hang on to 31st in the league.

Jabber Jaws: Evgeni did nothing wrong
Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports Karlsson on enforcers in the league Another loss at SAP Center is in the books, this time with Sharks’ owner Hasso Plattner in the crowd to see it all go down. The San Jose Sharks fell to the Minnesota Wild 5-2 and dropped to 19-36-12 overall for the season. The saddest part, the Sharks have only won 6 games in front of home fans this year. That said, there were a few bright spots. Erik Karlsson registered his 84th point of the season with an assist on the Sharks’ first goal of the game. Logan Couture got the goal. Karlsson now...

Jabber Jaws: Karlsson “disrespected”
Robert Edwards-USA TODAY Sports Quinn buries the hatchet with ref Another tough go of it for the San Jose Sharks, who looked slow even at the start of the 6-0 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. The deck was stacked against the Sharks from the beginning. Not only was it the second night of back-to-back games, but the Sharks went from playing at 784 feet above sea level in Winnipeg to playing at 5,280 feet above sea level less than 24 hours later in Denver. That’s not an easy switch for even the fittest of athletes. Add in the fact that the Sharks faced a rested Avalanche...
