If Vegas loses, is it fair to say the Sharks core of the ‘10s is cursed?

[TheBeard]

I was thinking back on all the studs on the sharks roster and how the only player that actually went on to win cups is Barclay Goodrow. This year Brent Burns leaves Carolina to go to Colorado only to be swept while his old team finally broke through to the cup finals. Meanwhile Hertl has a chance to win but if they don’t the drought continues.

Pavelski could never get beyond the conference finals, Thornton and Marleau both brought in to help and couldn’t reach the promised land. Couture, Vlasic, heck even Karlsson has only made the playoffs once since the run in 2019.

Are they the team equivalent to modern day Corey Perry?

Delete this nephew!

I don't even want to think about this stuff.

Sometimes the truth hurts.

You have said some things today that have been very painful indeed. You mentioned in the Roster Discussion thread that Nurse and Mcdavid realize that they cannot be best friends anymore if they want to be contenders. But I don't agree with that. I believe in the power of friendship!! The friendship between Patty and Jumbo in particular sustained me throughout the years.

I heard Patty secretly hated Joe because he stole his thunder.

McDavid should have picked a best friend that can play hockey

 

[Jo Hammet]

Never thought of this, but now that you said something oh my god those former Sharks players can't buy a cup lmao.

Pavelski made the cup final with the Stars in 2020.

Pavs played in the Stanley Cup Finals

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I think the funniest thing here was all the Hertl to Carolina rumours. Also how he begged the owner to trade him to a winner because he wanted to prove to everyone he was a winner because he had too many injuries.

I mean he already is a winner, has a better career than most players.

Yeah but did he?

Marner also rejected a trade to Carolina and signed with Vegas because they were a ‘contender’. Would love to see them both lose to the team they thought they were better than.

Are they just out of stock or something? I heard they only cost ten guineas if you want to buy one.

Don’t hijack my awesome thread plz.

 

[Shark Finn]

It's always about the Sharks, isn't it?

 

[24 others]

I thought this was a silly idea but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Someone cursed the end-of-the-2010s powerhouse Sharks and all the players are carrying the curse with them.

Add to this Timo Meier whose Devils go nowhere, so he travels to represent his country at the WCs... and the Swiss team loses in the finals 3x in the row, scoring 0 goals across the three matches.

Sharkbitten.

 

[Nosferatu]

Is this a joke of a post? Yeah and evil witch put a curse on the Sharks.

 

[NYRnine94]

No, they just weren't good enough to beat the other teams they played against. Simple concept

 

[ShootIt]

Jumbo Joe joined the Panthers on their Presidents run.
The next 3 years they reach the Stanley Cup after he wasn't re-signed.

 

[Voight]

 

[Primary Assist]

Yes especially since Pavelski is about to win like 15 straight Cups as head coach of the Leafs

Didn’t Perry win a Cup with the Ducks?

Yeah, but let's be honest, his reputation now is being the ideal player to take you up until a certain point and that's it.

It's really the same as Burns who was on Carolina for 2 of the past 3 conference finals before moving on and now Carolina is on the precipice.
