The SJSharks have relieved David Quinn of his head coaching duties.
lol what a timing
Stupid Hockey Guy cursing teams etc etc.
Next time wait one more day :)
Fired for not being able to swim with concrete shoes.
@@Zedbie Man was basically given an AHL roster all year.
Mike Grier was waiting for this video to be published before ............. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
That’s hilarious that this goes up just as they fire Quinn.
Okay Shannon, keep telling us your videos don’t have powers 😂
Unbelievable timing lmao
I do have powers.
@@TheHockeyGuy from The Hockey Guy to The Hockey God
@@TheHockeyGuy
Can you use those powers to make the stars win tonight, please
HOCKEY POWERS
It's as if Mike Greer saw the part at 1:34, started cackling maniacally, and then called David Quinn into his office.
The timing of this video is just too funny
As a sharks fan thank you for the content Shannon. Really hope hockey Gods do us right in the lottery lol
I'm from the northern Calif. bay area. Long suffering Sharks fan. Thanks for making my day. You are a great prognosticator Mr. Hockey Guy. However your timing on this 1 was slightly off. LOL. :)
I get that a lot of people aren’t super happy with some of the moves GMMG has made but he had a tough job coming in to SJ. He basically had to rip up all the BS that was the foundation of this team. The fact that he got us out of some of our worst contracts without giving up any major assets, netted us a ton of draft capitol, including multiple first round picks for the next few years and drastically improved our prospect pool is a win in my book. Also it’s not fun but we are locked in with the best odds at first overall after this year. Give this man about 3 years and see where the team is at. The tear down portion is pretty much over now we really get to see how hell handle the rebuild.
next season sharks shouldn’t focus on wins or losses, the biggest focus is to add to their prospect pool and continue to develop their guys, and focus on reducing the goals agains and adding some more goals for. I would be ok with 18 wins if we could get the +\- to under 115. That to me would be progress
Oh my god Hockey Guy. David Quinn got fired halfway through the video.
LOL. :)
He cursed them lol
What impeccable timing
Always liked the Sharks jerseys, great colors, great logo. Nabokov was one of my favorites to watch. Hope they figure things out and get better.
Grier said Barabanov, Hoffman, Labanc will all walk
Doesn’t mean if Barbi doesn’t get offers he won’t come back on a show me contract!
@@robertevans00 good point!
Hey HG,
I am seeing this post late so the Sharks did part ways with David Quinn and I completely agree with you. In fact I pretty much said the same thing in live chat with my favorite Sharks podcast @TheFinFactor. I don't think there is a coach on earth who could have done much more with this version of the Sharks and the injuries and whatever behind the scenes nonsense Coach Quinn was dealing with. Purely speculating but, I think Coach Quinn came close to if he did not actually lose the ear of his team. If a team tunes you out as a coach you are done at any level, any sport.
I also completely agree with Vegas' situation financially. This is a common story with championship teams in any sport with a salary cap isn't it? You manage to assemble a great team and they pull of the championship run and the week after the championship, after the victory parade and the champagne straight away the team begins to be disassembled.
Almost immediately key players and coaches get poached by other teams trying to bolster their own team and simultaneously tearing your team down. The teams in leagues that have a salary cap use accounting tricks and what not to build a great roster that cannot be held together past the current year so straight away teams have to figure out who to keep and who to let go. Secretly it would be cool if Vegas traded Hertl back to us but, I can't imagine that being a particularly great option for Hertl or the Sharks given how far we are from being a decent team let alone a team that can vie for a play off spot!
Just imagine if the Blackhawks or Kings had been able to keep those teams intact from their first championships? Both those teams were pretty great and I would expect at least one more championship for each would have been completely within the realm of possibility.
Since you posted this we have also parted ways with Hoffman, Lebank and Barabanov so add that money to our dollars under the cap and we are in a very good place to negotiate for some solid NHLers to help bolster this team. I think it highly unlikely that we will be able to acquire a top 6 forward or a top pairing D-man but, I fully expect that Grier will make every effort to bring in a bottom 9 forward (possibly) bottom 6 for sure and a bottom 3 defensemen which we desperately need.
Grier's modus operendi has been to bring in solid veteran's give them tons of ice time to bolster and reinvigorate their careers and then assuming the player in question does not go Hoffman on us flip them to a play off team at the deadline and I fully expect this pattern to continue for at least two more seasons while Grier does what San Jose has never done and that is fully stock our feeder system with prospects.
We have never had a proper feeder system as we were 20 straight seasons in the play offs under Doug Wilson and every season Wilson was robing the farm to bolster the team for a play off run. Consequently our cupboard was virtually bare when Grier took over. Not completely but, when you shut the cupboard door there was an ominous echo of emptiness excepting the spiders and rodents living in there!
We are dealing with a ton of variables on next season's team to try to predict what their performance might be HG but, I think there is the possibility of a strong rebound though it would take a minor miracle (with or without fantastic special effects ahaha) for us to actually nip into the play offs again. If I was forced to bet I would bet heavily against us being in the play offs next season. I think anywhere from 5 to 10 wins at most is a fair expectation for improvement over this season. If we have another train wreck of a season and wind up last again I think Grier will be hard pressed to keep his job though I like his plan and hope like hell we stick to the plan with him as our GM.
I think the casual, bandwagon barbarian fans are at the gate and are doing what the casual "fan" does. "Quinn sucks fire him! Grier sucks get rid of him! How much pressure can Hasso Platner withstand with the season ticket holders and the barbarians at the gate? I think Quinn was sacrificed to mollify the barbarians and it was undeserved. When I watched Mike Grier's press conference after the firing honestly, he looked very tired and I thought twice he almost broke down. He and Quinn are personnel friends and I think one was in the others wedding even?
Anyway, getting down from my soapbox HG and apologies for blathering on man but, as you can tell I talk too much and love the Sharks! Long live the HG!

Great timing 🤓
that escalated quickly
Is this hockey powers at work?
Extra! Extra! Quinn sues the hockey guy over lost job!
Sabres fan here , 5 years in a row is childs play ! Try 13 straight years !😊
The league deserves Buffalo Sabres in the playoffs
No! We will not be trying 13
It's going to be a long decade. Go Sharks.✌️🇺🇲
Drove through San Jose yesterday.. went to Santa frickin Cruz 🏄 🦈😎
Thanks for your Sharks coverage! 🦈
So San Jose got a "Meets Expectations" on its evaluation.
Hi Shannon...
I used to be a pretty avid hockey fan until the 04-05 lockout then kinda lost interest the following years.
I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago and you have singlehandedly resurrected me as a Hockey fan! Currently going back and watching your old videos regarding the Sharks so I can be somewhat informed when the season starts. You are doing hockey fans a great service with your content so keep up the great work!
Great timing!
The Pavelski curse, no playoffs since letting Captain America walk
They did not let him walk they made him and offer and the Stars offered more.
@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants it wasn't about the money, Pavelski wanted a 3rd year which Ol Dougie wouldn't give him.....
He gave Kane 7x7 and Karlsson 11.5x8..... yeah, they let him walk
@@dustinrhodes4793 A 3rd year is literally more guaranteed money.
Hertl is so lucky and happy to be in Vegas playing his first playoff game in 5 years
Edit: Uh oh David...
I’m happy for him being in the playoffs, I just hope he gets traded to a non-Vegas team in the offseason so I can actually root for him :P
You have great timeing when it comes to teams making coaching changes
Crazy, literally the second you said Quinn should still be their coach next year i get a notification from ESPN that Quinn was just fired.
Great break down
I've been waiting for this one
This was my first season working for the sharks (as a videographer) and this is the best season recap I'll ever get. Definitely put things in perspective appreciate your work!
You're no longer The Hockey Guy, you're the Hockey Wizard. My God, what timing...
As a Sharks fan, the timing of this video had me laughing. Shannon we need a David Quinn fired video now lol
UN-BE-LIEVABLE timing!
Grier def saw this and went “oh wait I forgot to go do that”
Sharks are two years away from being two years away 😔 it’s a shame they couldn’t get it done with all the great teams they had pre 2018
Is San Jose a large enough market to be gifted the #1 pick, or will Gary give another one to Chicago?
Did Buffalo win two draft lotteries because they're a big market?
@@TheHockeyGuy to play devil's advocate... Buffalo won those because Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto already had good lineups and didn't need the Bettman Bounce at the draft lottery.
Seriously? That doesn't make any sense at all. If the NHL wanted to rig a lottery, Arizona would have won at least once
No one pumps out content like THG😮❤
Perfect timing ;)
How you feel about it AJ?
@@martybraga4832 Fine with it... honestly expected this when Warsofsky was hired. Easy to dump the HC when his replacement is on the bench next to him.
Granlund seems to be a perfect 1C for a team in deep rebuilt.
Honestly that fact that Blackwood had a .899 save% is nothing short of remarkable, i would have expected it to be sooo much worse
Well I guess I’ll just ignore the part about David Quinn and continue watching this
I loved the Timo Meier trade. I feel that Shakir Mukhamudullin can be a top 4 defenceman and Zetterlund looked pretty good.
The hockey gods love timing. lol
The curse of the hand pass. That was the last playoff game they won.
Ill always love their jerseys
Sharks needs to go back to the 1991 jerseys with a black alternative
Shannon I don’t believe you curse anything BUT THE TIMING IS SO FUNNY
Yeah ... About David Quinn
the timing LOL
I think they gonna promote Warsofsky to Head Coach, cuz his name has been out there for years on becoming a first time HC. Keep an eye out for Jay Leach too.
And bang on Cue, David Quinn has been told to jog on.
I’m alright with Cooley, with all the troubles in front of the net I’m not gonna give any of the sharks’ goaltenders too much shit for their performance this past season
Great analysis, 100% agree. Clearly made before the firing of Quinn. I think next year will be completely dependent on the new coach. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
LMFAO THE SHARKS FIRED QUINN
I still believe the Sharks will win the cup this year.
In under 30 minutes this video is already outdated. 😂😂😂
Mike Grier has Shannon's house bugged - confirmed.
He watches the channel on his HP computer
Speed up the rebuild process ...........I like the sound of that !
right when you release this video they make a coaching change
lol @hockey guy yup San Jose watched this immediately and thought there is a problem, let’s fire the coach
would love a Sharks-revisited video now that they have the number 1 overall pick and fired quinn
Wow this did not age well
Expect a lot of pain. Rebuilding this to a playoff team will take 5 years minimum
As a Sharks fan wexare still so spoiled at how .any times wwve been in the playoffs.
That was a rough season to endure but I give them top marks for competing so well even in bad losses.
Certain players did well enough to attract notice and go to playoff-bound teams or at least to teams not in a full rebuild (New Jersey etc.) and in doing so the Sharks continue to stock their cupboard of draft picks. And there’s good young talent there already proving they are part of brighter future days; a few vets up front and on the back end couldn’t hurt as Vlasic etc. won’t be there but so many more years.
Little disappointed that Quinn was let go; I thought he handled last season’s turmoil rather well, calmly. I suppose they really want to reset fully in San Jose.
I'm actually shocked they fired him. Where did they expect him to finish? Couture out all season, everyone else traded. Chicago at least has Bedard. Maybe they are going to get Jay Woodcroft back???
Trading Hertl i can understand but trading him in the division is crazy but trading him to Vegas of all teams i mean if you're going to trade him trade him to the east i mean send him to Carolina or if you wanted to keep him in the west trade him to like winnipeg especially with the amount of time left on the deal to me trading him to Vegas was just nuts
When you said david quinn should be the head coach next season I started to laugh
Do the Sabres and Blue Jackets please
Well well well….. what a convenient timing Grier
1:36 LMAOOOO
Can’t make this up. Wrong again, Shannon!
Most likely Barabanov is going somewhere else...Grier specifically said the team would be moving on from Barbie, Hoffman, and Labanc in free agency.
Please live stream the draft and call Macklin for us :)))) Use your powers for good!
They canned Ray Tufts too!?!
i think he retired
Shannon to coach the Sharks!
sharks had the worst season in like 25 years and more ppl should be talking about it
Just you watch Cellebrini go to the hawks and the sharks just detonate into memedom
Grier is the worst GM I've seen in 10+ years
*cries in shork*
Sharks saw this video then fired Quinn an hour later.
This just after the news of David Quinn's firing was released.
GO SHARKS! 🦈🦈🦈🦈
Talk about timing
The Sharks could rebuild quicker than I think folks give em credit for. Clearing as much cap space as they have they could go for a Vegas style of trading futures and building around the few pillars in their core.
I think Buffalo/Anaheim have proven that rebuilding by developing your own core from the draft can present its own risk. Your team suffers from all this time spent on developing for players that can fizzle. If you trade prospects for proven/scouted NHLers in teams that are in tight cap spaces it can be lucrative with a quicker turn around.
We need and deserve Celebrini who already resides in the Bay Area and was a Jr Shark
1st.overall.pick.goes.again.chicago.blackhawks.big.deal.macklin.celebrini.
You post this video then the Sharks fire Quinn, I guess you jinxed it lol
THG just got Quinn fired 😂😂😂
Shannon that picture is of the player that has not been a good captain in many fans opinions!
Idk if this is too early, but .... PLD to SJS inc?
Steve Dangle podcast level timing lol
The Ducks aren’t so great right now, but at least they won a Cup. It’s disappointing that the Sharks only made one Finals appearance and have been slowly sliding since. Imho it got even worse when Pavelski left.
They were one of the best regular season teams for about 15 years in a row
@@Yeeyeeenation.made 5 conference finals,
You post this all most exactly when Quinn was fired
What are Grier's credentials?
I bleed teal and hoping so much that we land Celebrini 🙏
Sharks might be in the Process of Moving to Quebec. 🤣 Los Angeles Says “ Hi! “
As a Sabres fan the sharks having nothing to worry about.
Didn’t Labanc take a SUPER team friendly deal a few years ago? Any chance they return the favor this year?
He did, then got an over-market deal and underperformed.
@@6Snaus So essentially the favor has already been returned? Do you think they’ll move on? Based strictly on last season’s performance I can’t see any other team offering any more than a PTO…
@@TheDolfanar Grier has already said that they're letting Labanc, Hoffman, and Barababov walk.
Who else just watched this after the sharks announced that they fired their HC
