Sharks Defeat Stars, 4-1 April 9, 2006
Returning home for one game before embarking on their final road five game-in-seven-nights road trip to end the regular season – and earn their way into the play-offs, the San Jose Sharks played host to the Dallas Stars Sunday night at HP Pavilion. Vesa Toskala, winning his last four games, manned the net for the Sharks, while the always tough, Marty Turco, opposed him for the Stars.
The Sharks extended their second period 2-1 lead when superstar centerman, Joe Thornton, forced a turn-over and skated around the net to fee the always ready right winger, Jonathan Cheechoo – who is heading for a 50 goal season - with a perfect pass. As usual, Cheechoo knew exactly what to do, and sent a one-timer past Turco for a commanding 3-1 lead.
The fan favorite Cheechoo, now with 49 goals for the season (3rd overall in the NHL goal-scoring category), needs only one more to obtain the highest San Jose Shark goal-scoring milestone ever the rarely seen NHL 50 goal season. Player of the game, captain, Patrick Marleau, stated after the game that Cheechoo “would get his 50th the next game”, which is April 10th in Phoenix against Gretsky’s Coyotes.
Cheechoo is 15th overall in entire NHL in total points so far this season and 6th in power play goals. He nearly achieved his fifth ‘hat trick’, scoring two goals against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night – where he has amassed quite a following of fans in LA – the Sharks California rival.
San Jose maintained their stifling defense through the final stanza as the Stars were limited to 15 shots with just six minutes left in regulation. The final minutes of the clock expired without the Stars being able to solve Toskala, as the Sharks skated off with the 4-1 victory.

Jonathan Cheechoo made good on captain Patrick Marleau’s prediction in Dallas Sunday night after Cheechoo scored his 49th goal of the season by notching his 50th and 51st goal of him most impressive season – scoring the game winning goal in the process to defeat the Phoenix Coyotes.
The upcoming superstar Cheechoo (no more than four players are expected to reach 50 goals this year – an amazing feat in the world of sports) accomplished his personal best and team record 50 goals in front of quite an audience. On hand to witness the feat was hockey great legend, Wayne Gretsky – Mr. Hockey himself.

Also on hand to view the scoring machine – nicknamed “The Cheechoochraan” were the infamous “The Hanson Brothers” of the famed 1970’s hockey movie “Slapshot”, who were in attendance to watch the phenomenal Indigenous hockey player from “Moose Factory, Ontario Canada.”

“Cheechoo – he da man!” Said Dave Hanson after Cheechoo scored two goals against the Coyotes.
Cheechoo, an indigenous “Cree First Nations” citizen from Moose Factory Ontario, nearly tallied his fifth 3-goal hat trick (he notched four within a two a half month period, a feat nearly unheard of in professional hockey) as he fired a shot off the goal post in the third period.
Cheechoo now leads the entire NHL in game winning goals with 10. He is 2nd place overall in goals scored with 51 (with four games remaining in this year’s regular season), fourth in power play goal scoring with 21, and 12th overall in total points for a remarkable season, brought on in part by a mid-season trade for Boston Bruin’s great centerman, Joe Thornton, who now centers the talented Shark’s “Cheechoo-Ekman-Thornton” Line.
