It is an unprecedented lose-lose scenario for the San Jose Sharks. They could be the first professional sports team in North America to have their season severely altered as a precaution against COVID-19.
And in the process they’ll have to appeal to a spectrum of fans, players, politicians, local government, the NHL, its teams, its schedule, and even non-sports pundits.
Not only that, plans they make will likely need approvals at the highest of levels, well outside their own control.
On Monday night Santa Clara County (which has surpassed 40 cases of coronavirus) put a three-week ban on gatherings of 1,000 people or more, which begins on Wednesday. Within two hours the Sharks responded in a statement saying they would “adhere to the mandated guidelines”.
The next NHL game at SAP Center is scheduled for March 19. Two additional games also fall into the three-week window, and only five in total remain before San Jose’s season ends April 4.

The Sharks have won 3 in a row, distancing themselves from a span of 7 losses in 8 games. Just like the common cold, hockey "illness" comes on quick, but takes a while to get healthy again.

It's been a frustrating and sometimes confusing campaign for the San Jose Sharks so far. Inconsistency has been a unfortunate theme, with the team losing 4 straight, then winning 3 straight, and now having dropped 7 of their last 8 - including 5 in a row. Here's 7 things the Sharks need, ASAP.

It's scary times in Northern California, with high winds fueling huge wildfires... but, how can we stop this from becoming an annual occurrence? Also (11:44) it's MLB's awards season coming up, and the A's are deserving as ever for individual recognition. And (21:17) the Sharks -- how can they respond after already hitting a low note just 12 games into the season?

As regular season games go, this one was about as "storybook" as they come. San Jose was winless in four tries, until Patrick Marleau's two-goal debut with the Sharks helped them to a 5-4 victory in Chicago. Are the Sharks turning an early corner in the season?

Scott Hannan had a long and successful career in the NHL, starting in 1998 with the Sharks, and also ending with San Jose for a second tour from 2013-2015. This season he'll begin a new role, joining our Pre & Postgame coverage from the studio. I wanted to pick his brain about several Sharks topics, including: - relying on more younger players this season - the intimidation factor coming off a long playoff run - the potential of strategically resting Joe Thornton - Logan Couture as the new captain - a healthy Erik Karlsson as the x-factor

Despite back to back walk-off losses, the A's still went 4-2 against the Yankees this season, and could have realistically won all 6 games. In a New York weekend with a sour taste, there are plenty of good items on Oakland's radar: including some call-ups, the return of Sean Manaea, and the hope for a group which still likely has 'another gear' in store.

It's been a good season for the Oakland A's thus far, but one that has already seen a significant share of adversity. At present, their prime starter and premiere closer are shelved. And one of their biggest hopefuls to return - Sean Manaea - was just shut down in rehab. That being said, there's still a lot of promise for this team, one that looks like they could permanently break away from the .500 neighborhood soon.

It was exactly one year ago, when the A's started their tremendous push to contend for the division and earn a playoff spot. As of right now, they are the only MLB team sitting exactly on a .500 record - a place they've been 8 different times in the last 16 days alone. This episode discusses 1) Why they could be positioned to make a second-half run, and 2) What should define "success" for the 2019 A's?

The St. Louis Blues went from worst in the NHL on January 1st, to Stanley Cup Winners by June 12th. In the process they also eliminated San Jose in Round 3. What comes next for the Sharks now that "this season" has turned into "next season"?

The A's are more than 60 games into this season, with about 100 left to play on the schedule. It's not getting late by any means, but it's also well past early -- to the point where we can make some observations, evaluations, and most importantly: predictions.
He's about to be 40 years old, and likely play his 22nd NHL season. In my opinion, there's no question Joe Thornton is back with the San Jose Sharks for 2019-20, and his "new role" is a main reason why.

Martin Jones was spectacular in Game 6, setting a new team record with 58 saves, which has never been done in the regular or post-season.
