The San Jose Sharks are horror-bad

[Pablo El Perro]

Not sure why this caught anyone by surprise. Give them a few years and re-evaluate.

 

[Pancakes]

They'll somehow beat my Pens on Saturday. They're due for a win, and the Pens do nothing but find ways to lose

 

[TheNumber4]

I think the Flames are in a worse position right now. At least the Sharks have a decent prospect pool and 2 firsts and 2 seconds in the 2024 draft.

You’re right actually. Forgot how bad it is in Calgary.

Could be three firsts if devils make the conference finals. That’s five firsts - two being top 5 picks - in two years.

 

[Dingo]

Maybe that EK dude actually had a positive impact last season. Huh, wouldn't you know..

nuh uh, without him they all have less to play with WHICH makes it easier to score goals!!

So....

f***, im so lost

 

[hohosaregood]

Suddenly the below makes complete sense


“After nine games, they have 1 shoot-out loss to show for the season. They have 9 goals, total, in nine games.They've allowed 26 goals against, putting them almost at -3 per game (or -240 for a full season).

Yea the NHL is a league where puck movement from the defense is paramount to how offense is created now, the Sharks are a team with zero puck moving defensemen and it shows in how shit the offense is and how lopsided the ratio is.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

They are bad bad. Like 10 wins bad.

 

[mdobbs]

This might be the worst team of the cap era and in contention for worst of all time

 

[SomeDude]

If you’re a betting man, or a RFA with the Ottawa Senators, bet the house on them beating the Pens on Saturday.

 

[ricky0034]

at this rate they might give their expansion teams a run for their money for worst Sharks team

although their 11-71-2 team will be tough to beat over a full year

 

[Phrasing]

Being genuine but I feel bad for their fans. An NHL product shouldn’t ever allow a product this bad.

 

[LightningStorm]

So glad a rare talent like Bedard didn't get drafted to this trash team. Wouldn't want to see his talent wasted there.

 

[caliente]

If the NHL were legitimately concerned about actions taken to harm the competitively balance of the league, they’d make the Sharks forfeit their first round pick.

 

[Sykur]

After tonight's game they should be relegated to the AHL.

 

[Bgav]

This is the worst team I have ever seen

 

[Eternal Leaf]

They are legitimately terrible.

They might break the record and not cross 11 wins.

 

[trellaine201]

I know they are rebuilding but this is embarrassing for a pro team. Another debacle tonight!!

 

[Fraser28]

I know they are rebuilding but this is embarrassing for a pro team. Another debacle tonight!!

I’m assuming this is their worst loss of the season?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

This in insane

This team doesn’t belong in the NHL, can the league do anything

On top of that, more than half the seats are empty and you can hear a pin drop in their arena

 

[Love]

Possibly the worst team in NHL history. They allow more than 4 goals for every 1 goal they score.

 

[BrendanGaunce4Selke]

this has to be by design

 

[Green Blank Stare]

Are they even gonna win ten games this season?

 

[The Red Line]

Hey, I like em...

 

[The Panther]

They're down 8-0 tonight and seemingly heading for another bad loss. Let's guess this ends 8-0 (for now) and compare the Sharks' first 10 games to other historically bad teams:

2023-24 Sharks' first 10
0 - 9 - 1
Goal differential = minus 33

1943-44 Rangers
0 - 10 - 0
Goal differential = minus 31

1972-73 Islanders
2 - 7 - 1
Goal differential = minus 19

1974-75 Capitals' first 10
1 - 8 - 1
Goal differential = minus 27

1989-90 Nordiques
3 - 6 - 1
Goal differential = minus 1

1992-93 Senators
1 - 9 - 0
Goal differential = minus 36

1992-93 Sharks
1 - 9 - 0
Goal differential = minus 26


They're in some good company, and keeping pace!!

 

[who_me?]

Mike Grier is an idiot. It's one thing to rebuild, this is just destroying the franchise and setting it back years and years.
