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

[Fatass]

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.

Perry is old and plays only a supporting role. He won the Cup as a young core piece. Isn’t it the core players who determine a club’s success or lack there of, referred to in this thread?

As a Ducks fan I would argue Perry never won a Cup as a core player. On the 2007 Ducks team he was at BEST the 8th most important player.

Handzus was on the 2012 Sharks team.
The following season he won the Cup with Chicago.

Desjardins was with the Sharks from 2011 - 2014.
The following season he won the cup with Chicago.

Not "core" players though.

In 2036 there will be a thread about the curse of the 20's Oilers.

Handzus was in SJ for like 2 seasons.

 

[Golden_Jet]

No, there is no link to SJ performance, different makeup of players. One or 2 players don’t make a trend.

Shouldn't have said Lil B was a wack rapper.

He was a member of our young core who was tied for 2nd most points and most even strength points from our Stanley Cup championship team. We still needed him for our Cup win.

It’s kinda perplexing to me the random irrelevant data points people will assemble to present nothing important.

It’s like finding a random correlation with positioning of the sun to your bowel movements

I don’t recall Herts prime overlapping with Thornton/Marleau/Pavelski/Burns but even if, it’s kind of a useless argument tbh

 

[Jag68Sid87]

If Vegas loses it will be because a great TEAM defeated a greater collection of individuals.

The change in gravitational attraction pulls it out of you.

This reeks of this thread.

I thought I read ages ago something like only 18% of NHL players win the cup.

It's a feat to win it, not a fail to not, and not weird a group of players haven't.

Idk man. I ALWAYS poop when the Earth is rotating around the sun, and the moon around the Earth. ALWAYS. Seems fishy.

It's no coincidence that they haven't won a playoff game or even made the playoffs ever since the hand pass.
