Rodeo FROM PAGE 1 The Sharks had quite the bounce back after hitting what they had described as rock bottom the previous year when they missed the playoffs for the first time since 2003. That followed a play- off collapse in 2014 when San Jose became the fourth NHL team to lose a best-of- seven series after winning the first three games in the first round against Los An- geles. But with a new coach in Peter DeBoer and a top-flight starting goalie in Martin Jones, added depth with players such as Joel Ward, Joonas Dons- koi and Paul Martin, and the usual strong play from mainstays such as Thorn- ton, Burns, Joe Pavelski, Logan Couture and Marc- Edouard Vlasic, the Sharks got back into the playoffs as the third-place team in the Pacific Division and exorcised some demons in the postseason. "It's a tough day because there's so many mixed emotions," general man- ager Doug Wilson said. "The one that resonates though is how proud we are of them. We shared that with them as a group, what they've accomplished, the work they've done, taking care of each other to get to this point, players, coach- ing staff, trainers, every- body." The run started with a five-game series win against the Kings, who had knocked San Jose out in seven games in both 2013 and '14. The Sharks then sur- vived a seven-game se- ries with Nashville in the second round before win- ning the Western Confer- ence final for the first time in their 25-year history in six games against St. Louis. San Jose's first trip to the Cup Final didn't go as planned as the Sharks had few answers to Pittsburgh's superior speed and strug- gled to generate any consis- tent offensive attack. Only strong play from Jones kept the Sharks in the series and allowed them to take the Penguins to six games before faltering. Jones posted a .932 save percentage in the series, justifying the first-round pick the Sharks gave up to acquire him last summer. "He's a special goalie," Thornton said. "You saw what he did in the post- season. This guy is spe- cial. I can't say enough good words about him. He's the real deal that's for sure."The Sharks have most of their core under contract for next season. The only unrestricted free agents who dressed in the Final are forwards Nick Spaling and Dainius Zu- brus; defenseman Roman Polak and backup goalie James Reimer. Forwards Tomas Hertl and Matt Nieto are restricted free agents. "We made no secret of how much we enjoyed this group," DeBoer said. "I thought they had great chemistry. I thought they worked well together. Sharks FROM PAGE 1 The course has lived up to its reputation as the toughest champi- onship test in golf over the last couple of days of dry weather. Spieth was among those who pre- dicted no one will finish the week under par, as was the case in 2007 at Oakmont when Angel Ca- brera won at 5-over 285. Rain could change that. But rain won't make the rough shrink. The density of the grass is as fearsome as the speed of the greens. Graeme McDowell had a bet with his caddie on Sunday in which the for- mer U.S. Open champion would get $30 for every birdie, and he would lose $10 for every bogey. He played the back nine and lost $50. The wind was so strong Sunday that Spieth said he would have shot some- where around 75 or 76 at best, and he would have been happy with it. "But today, with less wind, I thought that it was more playable," he said. "Still extremely challenging, where par is a great score, but I thought if you hit the ball where you were look- ing you could have birdie opportunities on quite a few holes. At the same time ... I'd sign for even par. I don't think anyone is going to be in the red come 72 holes. So it will be a challenge. But I'm looking forward to it." Spieth is coming off a stretch of playing four straight weeks, with one very important tourna- ment. He missed the cut at The Players Champion- ship, his first tourna- ment back since losing a five-shot lead on the back nine at the Masters. He lost a good chance to win in his hometown at the AT&T Byron Nelson when he shot 74 in the fi- nal round. The important week was Colonial, where Spieth birdied his last three holes to win. He started well at the Me- morial until fading badly on the weekend, but that win in Texas was big for his morale. And it eased some of the sting from Augusta. "That was a huge week for us, especially to win before any of the next majors," he said. "If we can get ourselves in con- tention here, I can draw back on Colonial, what happened at the end there. I think it would have been that much harder." The really hard part is winning at Oakmont — not just because it's Oakmont, but the his- tory against him. Curtis Strange is the only player in the last 65 years to win the U.S. Open in back-to- back years. Strange won in 1988 and 1989. No one has come par- ticularly close, either. Re- tief Goosen was defend- ing champion in 2005 and took a three-shot lead into the final round at Pinehurst No. 2 only to close with an 81 to finish eight shots behind. Different about this major title defense is that Spieth doesn't go to a special locker room for champions. He doesn't have to host a dinner for past champions. "It just honestly feels like a normal week that I got here earlier for and I'm preparing harder for," he said. "I feel very confi- dent about my game right now. I wish the tourna- ment started tomorrow." US Open FROM PAGE 1 PHOTOS BY GENE J.
