20 years of blood, sweat and teal
With the San Jose Sharks celebrating their 20th season in the NHL, I wanted to do something different to highlight the Sharks throughout the years. Instead of doing a “best of” list or a “Top-10″ list, I sat down with my “20 Years of Teal” publication from Magcloud and came up with four “All-Sharks” teams similar to how the NBA has their “All-NBA” teams. All the photos, except Niemi’s, which came from the San Jose Sharks website, were scanned from that publication for this post. I hope you all enjoy.

Very well done! Congrats for this beautiful page!
Awesome post Jon! Love to see some of the originals.
Wooot! Awesome post! I’ve never seen most of these lines playing, since I’m a kinda “recent” fan, so I’ll spend some time looking for videos. Keep up the good work!
Nice, Although first team goalers IMO, Vernon, #1 and Niemi #2.
Vernon got a sorry bunch to make the playoffs and Niemi is just flat out good under pressure. Both Stanley Cup goalers.
