San Jose Sharks: morning cup of java

Anne-Marie Sorvin-USA TODAY Sports

Another day, another impressive victory for the San Jose Sharks. They defeated the Vancouver Canucks for the second time in seven days, improved to 4-0-0 on the season, scored at least four goals for the fourth consecutive time…and did it all without getting a goal from Tomas Hertl.

This has been an exciting few days to be a Sharks fan. Between the fallout over Hertl’s (ridiculously) controversial goal, to Joe Thornton’s off-color comments, there’s been a lot to keep up with.

The Sharks don’t play this evening, but do play tomorrow night against the Ottawa Senators. Here is some mandatory reading to get you through your morning. Cheers.
