The San Jose Sharks are horror-bad

[Mike Liut]

The St. Louis Blues are horror-bad?

nope, just a .500 caliber team like last year. In a 3 year re-tool.

This thread dropping to page 5 is a reflection of the Sharks only playing decently bad recently.

But tonight, it’s time for a bump

Kraken have 6 goals, Sharks have 8 shots midway through the third.

 

[Bizz]

oh no we suck again!

 

[Xelebes]

Let's see if they get their tenth shot of the game.

Edit: It just happened.

Blackwood must have heard the Oilers rumors and thought to himself: „No, no, no, I like to be part it THIS tirefire“

 

[weastern bias]

Get these bullshit Jackets, Habs and Oilers threads off this page

You're regular-ass bad teams, these Sharks? This is ART

 

[CaptainShark]

Sharks now 0-9-0 on the road. They have scored a total of 6 road goals and never more than 1 in a game.

I mean who wants to go to Edmonton? Its freaking minus tirty too there.

Only seems to happen on the nights that I don't bet on them in fantasy.

Kind of a bummer to see David Quinn's team struggle so much. I liked him when he was the Rangers' head coach and thought he would do well with some more experience and a change of scenery.

Cut to the present day, and it looks like the Sharks are consistently showing up to games unready. Poor starts was a common theme for the Rangers during his tenure too.

Are his days as an NHL HC numbered?

 

[GeeoffBrown]

The San Jose Sharks are an intentionally terrible hockey team

They were a mediocre team and then they traded away most of their best players

 

[tfwnogf]

horror bad

 

[Church Hill]

I do think Quinn is pretty useless. He's probably only in San Jose until the rebuild ends.

It's clear his players neither respect nor fear him.

 

[Bizz]

Good job Grier hiring Quinn to replace the equally terrible Bob Boughner when there were so many better options available and ready for hire.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Have you seen their roster?

They finished last in wins last year, I don't think that's what I would call mediocre

Yes they're tanking, but they were losing by accident anyway, now they're just embracing the reality of their situation and making moves looking to the future

Stop the presses… they have outshot another (horror bad) team. Only took them 20 games!

But still lost

 

[weastern bias]

20 game check in

3 wins (12 win pace)

8 points (32 point pace)

-56 goal differential (-54 subtracting shootout credit goals)

-252 shot differential

1 multi goal win

1 game with a positive shot differential

Technically, we're on a 32.8 point pace.

My personal prediction at the moment is 35, with no other team below 50.

I don't think they are tanking, but started off the season that bad. They should improve some but still hang in the bottom portion of the league.

Now tanking as an art form goes to Chicago. That's a higher revenue club with nearly $13M in free cap space, leading the league in that department. Even the perennial low revenue club, AZ, has only 25% of that in free cap space.
