Patrick Marleau's Top 5 Moments as a San Jose Shark (The Hockey Writers)

The San Jose Sharks will retire Patrick Marleau's jersey tonight. Here are the five moments that define his time with the franchise.

But the most important thing is that Marleau broke the record in a Sharks uniform. It was as if he wanted to tell the up-and-coming players of the league that their time was soon, but for the moment, he was still capable of some magic every now and then. He then returned to San Jose for another half season, then spent a bizarre few months with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The goal certainly would have meant more if the Sharks had managed to win the series, but it still helps memorialize Marleau’s career in San Jose. It didn’t hurt that the goals brought him right up to the edge of an incredible milestone. Given that they now play in different conferences, it’s easy to forget that the Sharks had a fierce Western Conference rivalry with the Detroit Red Wings for several years, and Marleau was right at the center of all of it. In that moment, a goal in the Stanley Cup Final was more than just a goal. He’d been in the league for 19 seasons, and he had finally made the championship series. With those two Marleau goals, the Sharks finally got their first playoff breakthrough in the Thornton era and proved they could win when it mattered. Just four days later in Game 5, he fired a perfectly placed one-timer past Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard seven minutes into the third period and put the Sharks up in the game, 2-1. He played the vast majority of his career with the Sharks, serving as captain for five years and becoming the team’s all-time leader in a number of statistical categories. In Game 3, Marleau turned a 2-on-1 breakaway into an overtime winner, capping off a two-goal third period comeback to give the Sharks a 3-0 lead in the series and shocking the Detroit home crowd.

Patrick Marleau reaches Sharks immortality: “Thank you for this ... (The Mercury News)

Patrick Marleau on Saturday had his number officially retired by the San Jose Sharks, the organization with which he made NHL history.

“He’s been such a big part of the San Jose area and San Jose sports,” Thornton said Friday. He enjoyed coming to the rink, sweating, trying to get better, having fun with the guys and that was every single day with Patty.” Marleau played 910 straight games, the fifth-longest ironman streak in NHL history, from April 9, 2009, to his last game on May 12, 2021. “I really don’t know what I did to deserve someone like you,” Marleau said as he spoke to Christina. “I was living my dream every day, and I got to do the majority of that right here in San Jose.” His franchise-leading 522 goals are 167 more than anyone else in team history, and the 566 goals Marleau scored for his career put him 23rd on the NHL’s all-time list.

Sharks retire Patrick Marleau's No. 12 jersey: What's next for San ... (The Athletic)

Marleau played 21 of his 24 seasons in the NHL with the Sharks and holds the franchise record for most career games with 1779.

There was plenty of chatter this weekend about the next number to go in the rafters, which will certainly be Thornton’s No. Celebrating Marleau and the past greats is about to give way to a busy week, with multiple potential franchise-altering trades on the horizon. 12 is the first number to go into the rafters at SAP Center, and this weekend felt like a much-needed boost of positive feelings for a franchise that is going through it’s most fallow period in club history. Tech CU Arena was sold out for the alumni game on Friday night, and this has been the hottest ticket at SAP Center all season. He said he wants to find something he “will be good at” and ended his remarks with “we’re in talks.” During the event, Marleau said he would love to be involved with the Sharks organization in some way moving forward.

Thank you for choosing me to be your linemate for life,” Marleau said. The San Jose Sharks legend embraced his family and watched as his no. “Instead, [you] asked to come to my games, my practices…You supported me and cheered me on every single day. “I wasn’t the dad who could coach or go on field trips, so there was countless events I missed: Concerts, plays, hockey and baseball games.” Marleau took time to thank his family, especially his parents Denis and Jeanette for helping him play hockey as a child in Saskatchewan. “Tony has been not just a rock to me, but to my family.” Marleau shared that one year during the playoffs, Mohagen left his home in Edmonton to help care for Patrick’s sons and pregnant wife. Patrick also thanked his siblings Denise and Richard for helping with his chores while he was busy with hockey. “Richard, thank you for making me tough. “Mush” was a longtime teammate of Marleau and also helped in Patrick secure his first date with his eventual wife, Christina. I am beyond privileged to have been part of so many great locker rooms and amazing teams,” Marleau added. “He was not just my agent, but my confidant, a friend, and trusted adviser.” On these individuals, Marleau said: “Both of these men are truly missed here, tonight.” Marleau would later reveal a fun story about the two: Hrudey convinced him to purchase a Corvette instead of an SUV during that rookie season.

Marleau: 'That's the greatest honor, to be able to be the first one up ... (San Jose Hockey Now)

Patrick Marleau is the 1st player in San Jose Sharks history to get his jersey retired. I talk to Shane Doan, Denis Potvin about that honor.

“Just all flashed before me, all that hard work finally paid off to be able to be the first to have the jersey retired in San Jose Sharks history.” In 1997, Marleau came to a franchise that was just entering its seventh season of existence and coming off back-to-back years out of the playoffs. In the community, who he is as a person, [that’s] the type of people that you want to be around,” Doan said. “It’s a hockey town, for sure.” “That added to it quite a bit for me.” Just flashes before your eyes, everything I did led up to that moment,” Marleau said after his jersey retirement. A complete player and a complete person and there isn’t anything that you kind of want [more].” 1992 was certainly a testament to establishing something long-lasting from the ground floor up. “I didn’t know much about San Jose,” Marleau recalled, when the San Jose Sharks selected the teenager second-overall in the 1997 NHL Draft. The hard-working and loyal Doan, whose number was retired by the Arizona Coyotes in Feb. “It was one of those things that I’m like, that’s not fair. “Nobody else is gonna have that honor.”

NHL: What Doug Wilson, Sidney Crosby and a San Jose Sharks fan who is delaying brain surgery to attend Saturday's ceremony said about Patrick Marleau and ...

Chances are the Sharks will be able to draft a player this summer that can help them in the near future, perhaps right away like Marleau did over a quarter-century ago. As a teammate, he was one of the best.” But the beginnings of a plan were in place, as Lombardi had signed veterans such as Bernie Nicholls, Kelly Hrudey and Tony Granato to help establish a culture that the younger players, such as Jeff Friesen, Viktor Kozlov, and later Marleau, would follow. But when we think of him, we always think the great years that he had here.” 12 as a star player for the Seattle Thunderbirds of the Western Hockey League, and wanted to keep that number for the start of his NHL career. Since former Sharks forward Ron Sutter, younger brother of former Sharks coach Darryl Sutter, already had that number at the time, Marleau wanted to wear No. “I know the team wasn’t very good for a while there, but he was one of the beginning pieces that started to get it going and making a bunch of playoff pushes,” Ricci said. “Obviously, we never got to exactly where we wanted to go, and that’s disappointing, but I think for sure he was the one that started it. “I’ve been going through my mind pretty much my whole career and my childhood about how I ended up at this spot,” Marleau said at the event. In 2021, Marleau finished his career as the NHL’s all-time leader in games played with 1,779, one spot ahead of the legendary Gordie Howe. “There have been a lot of good players who have played in this organization,” Vlasic said. The 39-year-old San Jose woman delayed her brain surgery so she can be in attendance when Marleau becomes the first player in Sharks history to have his number retired.

"He's more on the quiet side but when you get the chance to talk to him you can feel the energy he has for the game, the love he has for the game of hockey, his family. "It's an adjustment, but I like being able to help the kids out." He means a lot, I think, to a lot of guys that are still here." Every guy in the room pulled for 'Patty.' He was a guy you wanted to be successful, so nice of a guy he was. "He's one of the first guys you think of when you think of San Jose," Sharks captain Logan Couture said. "He was just dialed in, working out every day," Hertl said. "I was fortunate that I was able to sit beside him at home in (in the locker room) for a lot of years," he said. He was also known for his ritual of taking an ice bath between periods. After two seasons in Toronto, he was traded to the Hurricanes on June 22, 2019, but his contract was bought out five days later, allowing him to re-sign with San Jose on Oct. The 43-year-old former center said he's planning on saying a lot of "thank yous" Saturday when the San Jose Sharks retire his No. He played his first 19 seasons with the Sharks, then signed a three-year contract with the Maple Leafs as a free agent on July 2, 2017.
