Offseason

[edit]

Connection to Minnesota

[edit]

The Gund family had been partners in theOakland Seals franchise which was moved to Cleveland to become the NHLCleveland Barons. This franchise was merged with the North Stars franchise and the Gunds became partners in the North Stars' franchise. The Gund family had long wanted to bring hockey back to theBay Area, and asked the NHL for permission to move the North Stars there in the late 1980s, but were vetoed by the league. Meanwhile, a group led by formerHartford Whalers ownerHoward Baldwin was pushing the NHL to bring a team toSan Jose, where a new arena was being built. Eventually a compromise was struck by the league, where the Gunds would sell their share of the North Stars to Baldwin's group, with the Gunds receiving an expansion team in the Bay Area to begin play in the1991–92 NHL season.[1] In return, the North Stars would be allowed to participate as an equal partner in an expansion draft with the new Bay Area team. Neither team retains the history of the Seals/Barons franchise.

On May 5,1990, the Gunds officially sold their share of the North Stars to Baldwin and were awarded a new team in the Bay Area, based in San Jose. Over 5000 potential names were submitted by mail for the new team. While the first-place finisher was "Blades", the Gunds were concerned about the name's negative connotations (weapons, etc.) and went with the runner-up, "Sharks". The name was said to have been inspired by the large number of sharks living in thePacific Ocean. Seven different varieties live there, and one area of water near theBay Area is known as the "red triangle" because of its shark population. The team's first marketing head, Matt Levine, said of the new name, "Sharks are relentless, determined, swift, agile, bright and fearless. We plan to build an organization that has all those qualities."[2]

Drafting

[edit]

On top of the normal expansion process, the Sharks participated in a draft to select players from the North Stars. The Sharks and Stars then participated in an expansion draft. Both teams selected in the NHL Entry Draft. The Sharks selected second-overall in the first round, and then first-overall in the following rounds. The Sharks selectedPat Falloon with their first pick, regarded widely as a draft bust.

Captain

[edit]

DefensemanDoug Wilson was acquired from theChicago Blackhawks. He was named the franchise's first team captain.

Regular season

[edit]

The Sharks played their first ever game on October 4, 1991, against theVancouver Canucks atPacific Coliseum inVancouver, losing 4–3 to the Canucks.Craig Coxe scored the first goal in team history. The next night, on October 5, the Sharks played their first ever home game at theCow Palace, losing 5–2 to Vancouver. The club earned their first victory during their third game, on October 8, asKelly Kisio scored the game-winning goal at 16:45 of the third period, leading the Sharks to a 4–3 win over theCalgary Flames. GoaltenderBrian Hayward made 36 saves to earn the victory.

After recording their first win, the Sharks lost their next 13 games, falling to 1–15–0, before putting together back-to-back wins over theEdmonton Oilers andNew York Islanders. The team earned their first ever tie against theDetroit Red Wings on November 14, as the teams skated to a 3–3 score. On November 29, after losing their first 13 road games, the Sharks earned their first ever point on the road, as San Jose tied theEdmonton Oilers, 4–4, atNorthlands Coliseum inEdmonton,Alberta. The next night, on November 30, the Sharks held off theCalgary Flames for a 2–1 victory at theSaddledome inCalgary,Alberta, earning their first ever road victory.

Throughout the season, the Sharks allowed 10 or more goals in a game three times, which included a club-record 11 goals allowed against theDetroit Red Wings on February 15, 1992, as Detroit defeated the Sharks, 11–1.
