The San Jose Sharks are horror-bad

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

This franchise deserves nothing more than dropping to the #3 pick in the lottery. Don't reward this shameless behaviour.

I don't follow the Sharks that closely but has their tanking been any more obvious than what the Blackhawks did?

 

[Dave92]

Sounds like a guaranteed loss when we face them.

They're not breaking any rules lmao

They're just bad

i said that in my post

 

[TMLegend]

Starting to get genuinely curious if we're going to be looking at the worst team post lockout by seasons end.

22-56-4 for 48 points is the mark to beat post lockout.

My money is on this Sharks team finishing with less than 20 wins.

This isn’t exactly a bold take.

 

[karltonian]

Ironically this is the result of the salary cap, which was supposed to make things more competitive. Instead, teams locked into bad contracts become uncompetitive and have no way to improve.

 

[TheBeard]

They composed a team full of forwards who can't defend and defensemen who can't move the puck. And McKenzie Blackwood. I mean.

Can’t blame Blackwood. The defense is the primary root cause of this debacle.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Obviously they’re tanking, why not trade Hertl while you still can? Contenders would love him on their team.

The Blackhawks dumped all their good young players, the Sharks just never had them.

Unless it was a master 5-year plan from Doug Wilson to have the best tanking year ever, it definitely isn't intentional.

You need a trading partner, nobody can take that cap hit and length without taking something back

 

[Romang67]

We might not need that bigger boat after all.

Not to mention he’s got a full NMC, and why wouldn’t he want to be part of history??

 

[Jts4thgoal]

Honestly, giving up 10 goals a game isn't that bad when you don't have any defensemen in your lineup.

 

[ijuka]

TBH they should be demoted to AHL. There should be some standards in this league.

Blackhawks were tanking last season, sure, but they still were somewhat competitive and pulled off quite a few upsets. This Sharks team is just an embarrassment on the league.

 

[karltonian]

Two goals! Plan the parade.

 

[Jee]

Incredible feat of suckage, wow

 

[Skeksis25]

I hope we give up 10 goals every game just to piss off the people doing the "Oh noes, my poor league is so embarrassed" bullshit. Get over yourself.

Blackhawks weren't that bad of a team, even.At least compared to this.

 

[Block]

The worst part is the ticket prices. Being this bad and charging as much as they do is a crime.

 

[powerbomb]

Second tally by the Sharks prove Jarry is not a legitimate NHL caliber goaltender.

 

[red devil]

We have another 10 spot

No they certainly weren't but they made pretty obvious moves to trade away as much talent as possible.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Back to back 10 spots, when was the last time a team has given up 10 in b2b games?
