The San Jose Sharks are horror-bad

[TheStatican]

The Sharks season in a nutshell:

How it started...

How it's going...

 

[CanadienShark]

Holy shit. That's honestly incredible.

Heads are going to roll for this and rightfully so. this is simply inexcusable and embarrassing. I don't think Quinn is every going to coach another NHL team after this, I think Grier is gonna get shown the door as well. When you have a product this bad you can't have your name anywhere close to it because this is the kind of crap that ruins careers. Players and staff.

Quinn i agree because he can't get the shitty roster to even try anymore just 10 games in but Grier ? Sure he build probably the worst defensive core the league has seen in decades but a new GM isn't fixing this mess either.

They really should get any player(Eklund) that they view as a long term piece the f*** clear of this team even if they think he is ready for the NHL. Nothing good coming of this season for a players development.

The Sharks mega sucks a year too late. Celebrini is no Bedard

The crazy part is they could wind up sucking this bad only to lose the draft lottery like Columbus and Detroit have.

For real. Also zadina not looking the brightest tossing away millions to go to this tire fire to try and prove himself

Jinkies, what’s the record?

Also, I love how this thread starts, then they give up back-to-back 10 goal games. Didn’t know the sharks could do worse, damn have I been corrected.

Worst +/- in a season is -82 during the Washington Capitals 1974-75 expansion season.

I think that record will never be broken.

 

[Macbanan]

Any team that wins less than 20 games should have their GM forfeit their salary

How are they so bad? They have some decent players on the roster. On paper, they should be at least competitive.

The defense has no players better than a 5/6, and that's being charitable.

Well OK maybe Rutta, but he's about a 4 at best.

 

[eco's bones]

They don't have a power play quarterback on D since Karlsson was moved. It's a team built to not win. Missing Couture from their offense isn't helping either. They can fire Quinn but I don't think that's necessarily going to turn anything around. A new coach is going to have the same handicaps. It's going to be a tough season.

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

I've been a Pens fan for 30 years. I don't remember them being this bad even tanking for Sid lol.

The Mario tank was a few years before I was born so i didn't experience that one. But the pre Sid teams were woeful....but man. This team SJ team is on par with them perhaps

Sid wasn’t a tank. It was a post-lockout unweighted lottery. Even odds for all teams. They lucked into the first pick.

That was just 1 game. Now show the season.








I kid...

 

[GeeoffBrown]

The Sharks are making their tank too obvious. They're embarrassing the league, not that league needs any help with that.

Still, at what point does Bettman and league step in to put an end to this farce? Could see him fining the team their first rounder if they keep it up.

The Oilers were like this for 10 years, so the Sharks have some rope left

 

[Noble]

They're going to be bad for a really long time.

Pretty impressive to do it in just 59 games as well. Imagine what he could've done with a full season.

Actually never mind, look at that Jack Lynch statline. -54 in just 20 games, damn.

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

Back to back 10 goal games is insane.


100% sure they beat the Flyers Tuesday

I thought for sure that they would beat the pens. And it would be funny. Im starting to lose confidence in the Sharks ability to win a game. Even for funnyness.

 

[hi]

The Sharks mega sucks a year too late. Celebrini is no Bedard

Are you telling me that they won't be celebrining winning the lotterini?

 

[Necrobutcher]

I love it. There's always talks in the offseason how some teams will be just horrible and historically bad but they never actually are and end up winning like 28 games. Not this Sharks team though! They're the real deal and have even exceeded the expectations on how shitty they'll be. I find it really refreshing actually. Thank you San Jose for sucking ass. <3

I'm taking all of this back after seeing the Kähkönen injury scenario. Sharks you're beyond pathetic and i hate you. Embarrassment isn't a strong enough term to describe your so called "team".

 

[MakoSlade]

Blackwood looking alright tho

MBW played his best when the Devils were at their worst. I legit thought he would be the third best goalie in NJD history after he took over for Cory Schneider. Covid and injuries derailed that for NJD, but I'm not surprised he's playing better in SJ.

 

[blundluntman]

If they get the #1 pick this coming draft, he should 100% pull a Lindros. These guys are the Michael Jordans of shitting the bed

Huh?

This roster has a single bonafide top line player, Hertl, and some people would argue if that is even true at this point. Duclair you might be able to argue is a another, but realistically he's more of a 2nd line player, and so far is not even playing like one for us.

On paper our defense is the worst iced that I can ever remember since watching hockey. Literally not a single player that would be on anything higher than the 3rd pairing on any other team, and several that probably should not even be in the NHL at all.

Who are the other decent players? Even if you name a couple more decent players, like maybe Eklund and Granlund or something, none of them of bonafide top six players at this point, and are unfortunately being counted on to be that at this time.

Not really sure how you look at our roster and say "yeah that should be competitive" with anyone besides the bottom 3-5 or so teams in the league.
