The San Jose Sharks have been in the NHL for 25 years but have never played in the Stanley Cup Final.
That changes Monday.
For the first time in their history, the Sharks are four wins away from winning the Cup. Their pursuit continues in the Final against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
It will be a thrilling time for the Sharks, particularly veteran forwards Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton. Marleau has been in San Jose since he was the second player selected at the 1997 NHL Draft; he has played 1,411 regular-season games with the Sharks and another 165 games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
