We Need a Bigger Boat: A San Jose Sharks Tale

- This video was supposed to be finished up a few weeks ago. Well, that was before everything went to shit and was subsequently cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. (Un)Fortunately, these videos have not been suspended yet, so they shall continue.
Have I mentioned I hate the Sharks yet? This year has been more than enough proof of why. A GM getting completely desperate to push for a cup, sacrificing a lot of the future and team depth to reach for it, only for those moves to backfire painfully. This wasn't supposed to happen for another year or two, yet it's the way of the Sharks: Even when expectations are low, they somehow go lower than that. It's the only thing they're reliable at.
That and pain. Lots and lots of pain. This video will show you a lot of it. - Sport
NHL: So you beat the Golden Knights?
Sharks: Yes...
NHL: And for what cost?
Sharks: Everything
Now, they should hire Gerard Gallant and COMPLETELY Twilight Zone that rivalry.
If definitely was a Pyrrhic victory
Obv nothing is better than the cup, but that was the better than winning the division back in 2016 imo.

The San Jose Sharks: Always the bridesmaid, but never the bride.
They’re even a Bridesmaid in their OWN METROPOLITAN AREA.
The Sharks are the only team in the Bay Area without a Title in their history. That is, despite being TENTH in the NHL’s all time standings, percentage-wise.
We’re very sorry, Joe Thornton.
One with a glowing personality, a great career, but still hopelessly eternally single. I’d feel bad if my team (the Oilers) wasn’t in their division.
@Clint Coady The fat one.
Tell that to Maple Leafs fan.
@@cardiac19 You guys at least won the cup many times. Granted, it was before the 1967 expansion, but still.
To be fair, the Sharks' history is relatively short. Granted, teams like Tampa Bay and Anaheim have won the cup in a shorter timeframe, but San Jose might win it in the future.
In the meantime, they'll have to settle for being overshadowed by the Niners, Warriors, Giants, A's, Cal, Stanford, and even the Earthquakes. ....At least they aren't the Sacramento Kings?
The Sharks are like a problem gambler, when they don’t win they double and triple down and it ends up hurting them.
So what you are saying is that Evander Kane is the best representation of the team?
essentially.
This aged so well
@@shikafans and then he went to the Oilers with another known gambler named Ken Holland
And now they can't even compare themselves to Vegas because they actually won something
No, not my team again. I can't handle this right now.
That whole video was painful. Maybe next year? Lmao
@@xOrion82 maybe another video next year
Yeah...that’s the feel of this channel. All fun and jokes until it’s your team he’s talking about!
@@dangernoodle9290 hopefully not but It will happen sadly. Sharks do this ever year
They will somehow manage to lose even in a crisis
We need a tv series called “days of our sharks”
Called swimming with the sharks
NEONGVORTEX sound good. But we need something more dramatic

Ladies and gentlemen, the 2020 edition of the "We're a team" Senators.
do you really think the trash sens are going to win the draft lottery? no chance.
@@MikeTheKoopaWarrior they could though, 2 first round picks both in the lottery
No, last I checked, that's still the Senators.
@@MikeTheKoopaWarriorRight now they have a 25% chance of a first overall and a 50% chance of a top 3 in what is supposed to be a very good draft year. They suck and very well may not get either but the Sharks also suck and they have given Ottawa these great odds. Byfield is very likely going to be a Senator at least at the start of his career but the Sharks get nothing out of this. This is just like last year when the last-place Senators gave their first round to the Avalanch for Duchene, but the difference is that it was ONLY the Senators pick that had good lottery odds. The Sharks gave the Senators 2 of the bottom 3 team's picks, sure they didn't know this at the time but in hindsight, it looks really bad. In any case when you GET Erik Karlsson and end up losing (or at least have a chance of losing) your trade to Pierre Dorion of all people you know you fucked up.
watch them being 4th in the draft lottery again
Sitting on a couch all day
2019: lazy ass

And everyone said that sitting in a basement wouldn't accomplish anything in life.
Who's laughing now?
@@UrinatingTree Well played good sir!
This video is for all the fans screaming, "Fire DeBoer and we'll win."
This video is for all the fans screaming, "Fire Wilson and we'll win."
This video is for all the fans screaming, "Bench Jones for Dell and we'll win."
This video is for all the fans screaming, "Once we get healthy, we'll win."
This video is for all the fans screaming, "If we still had Pavelski, we'd win."
There was never one problem with the Sharks this season. There were about twenty. If this season's results were a surprise, you weren't paying attention. Strap in, everyone. We have half a roster of one-year rentals that are about to be traded for future talent that we MIGHT see develop over the next five years. Until then, oh hey LA. Long time no see. So what's there to do at the bottom of the West? Longer golf season?? Time to break out the ol' driver!
S-Train I never thought firing DeBoer would help anything. Quite pissed he’s gone actually
Hey LA may be on the bottom of the West right now but we have hope. Sharks have... Hertl and Meier? Lol
Heh, well said. And the fans are always screaming about SOMEthing. Hell, I'm a Bostonian, and the number of Bruins fans who've screamed for years about Boston dealing Thornton for not a whole lot are, well. Of course, they screamed AT Thornton when he was a Bruin -- because all that lazy bastard had done the previous five seasons was be the team's offensive star, instead of hitting people like Cam Neely and fighting people like Terry O'Reilly -- and they CHEERED the trade at the time.
Hey, but at least you will get a good draft pi-
Oh wait
Funny but Hell A is on the way out if the basement. We just got there.
“Laughing at Tampa Bay for trading a 1st for Barclay Goodrow.”
You’re cursed, Tree.
"They have strong seasons, yet something goes awry come playoff time."
That describes Minnesota sports teams since 1991.
Hey, remember when the Legacy Of Failure video said "You now have more playoff success then the Blues and Capitals combined"??
That's all. Carry on.
Jared Zieff me too 😂
Tree, you had to FUCKING JINX IT... GOD DAMNIT!!
You know theres always a part of legacy of failure videos that age horribly. The sharks had aged horribly almost as soon as it came out.
@Jared Zieff part of it aged bad is what I meant
Oh yeah that video has definitely aged, only it's aged more like a fine wine as opposed to say Wisconsin cheese
At least the culture there is actually damn good
klondikebar it is !!! Sharks fans have a lot of passion I wouldn’t mind seeing them get one since my blues finally broke their curse
Can’t argue with that! 💯
It really is here, we wont give up on our team ever
Yep! Sharks fans really are passionate. If the Sharks actually won a couple championships during the 2000's or 2010's, the team and their fanbase would get WAY more attention and recognition. They have been "overdue" for a Stanley Cup for over a decade and the team is STILL not even 30 years old..... Tampa won in 2004, took 10 years, the Ducks won in 2007, took 14 years... As a Sharks fan, I envy these fanbases. Sure Tampa choked BIG time last year, but they still have 2004 to reminisce on. The Ducks had their own "Sharks run" of winning the Division every year from 2013-2017, and never sniffed the Cup Final, further emphasizing that 2007 was more a fluke than 2003 even was (and I was ROOTING for them in 2003).
At this point, I've accepted that falling short is just part of the deal as a sports fan, and perhaps one day, maybe Sharks fans will finally experience what Caps fans felt in 2018 and Blues fans felt in 2019, RELIEF that all the years of agony and heartbreak were WORTH it. One day.....in 20XX, Sharks fans around the world will cry tears of happiness, and not just tears. Peace out and stay safe everyone! Im going to go play Franchise Mode and manage an expansion team to a Stanley Cup.
@@gregh2948 Hell yeah bro I've won 3 straight Cups with the Sharks in my NHL 20 Franchise mode. Managed to trade Burns for Stamkos, moved Jones for a pick, signed an 88 overall Lehner in the offseason, and topped it off by giving Jumbo the Ray Bourque treatment in his last season before retirement. All I can say is that Doug Wilson needs to think about hitting me up for an advisory position lol
The lord of the rings reference deserves 1 billion likes.
And The Sneaky Detroit Tigers Reference
"Laugh at Tampa Bay for trading a first-round pick for Barclay Goodrow?" Well, Tree, Tampa Bay had the last laugh 🤣🏆🏆
Hearing Tree talk about the Sharks, as a Sharks fan myself, hurts even more because I know he's legitimately angry.
I will never forgive the Pittsburgh Penguins.
RiotSk8Team001 the only people who practically drool over the Pens are over on NBC
I'm a sharks fan because I like sharks and the sharks choked in the Stanley cup game against the penguins because they they bit off more than they can chew
@@blackpanther1013 Sharks didn't choke, they just got beaten by a better team.
Blame your management. Your management ruined everything for you and Jumbo Joe and Marleau
@@blackpanther1013 Lmao San Jose didn't "bite off more than they could chew"
San Jose came into the Finals, and proceeded to get GROUND into the pavement by a Pittsburgh team with a storied postseason history and skillset to add. San Jose has been to the Finals in the modern era, what? Once? And they got DESTROYED by Crosby and Co.
SJS cup window was slammed shut by St. Louis last year, and now the team is seeing the effects.
San Jose needs new management, because the current staff has no idea how to rebuild this team at all. First off, Y'all should've NEVER resigned Thornton, Burns, and Karlsson. Those 3 alone are ancient relics of a bygone era
The cinematic version of San Jose would definitely be Jaws IV: Revenge.
In these times of immense peril, it is amazing one of the few beacons of hope and normalcy is a shitposter from Pittsburgh
Who likes both the sharks and the penguins, don't forget.
*All Sharks Fans Next Year*: "What's that you say, Mrs Robinson. Jumbo Joe has left and gone away. Hey hey hey :("
The last good thing that the San Jose Sharks ever did was that OT goal by Goodrow in Game 7 against the Golden Knights.
And now Goodrow is gone. The Sharks are thieves of joy.
They fleeced Tampa for goodrow
No they didn't, they gave up a 3rd round pick in the deal as well. It wasn't Goodrow for a 1st straight up
Best part of that? Deboer has the VGK in 1st in the Pacific, and his old team is in the shitter.
Talk about Karma
@@frederickglass1583 defintely good karma failing up to coaching VGK. Karma balances out though. He'll probably coach them to the Stanley cup finals and lose in 6 and then proceed to have them under achieve until he's fired again. Seems to be his story.
@@jamespaydo idk, the guys seem to like him more than Turk
Welcome to hell Sharks fans, Detroit Sports fans will show you around...

"Hey we got Karlsson back!"
Hehehehehe
@Otto Zizak incorrect
@Otto Zizak incorrect. About 2012ish, though I was pretty young so I don't have a specific date. Actually before that I think, because I played NHL Slapshot on my Wii as a Pens fan when it was pretty new. But thanks anyway.
@Otto Zizak I suppose you weren't expecting that. Trust me, I know how bad us Penguins fans often are
Otto Zizak who cares don’t gatekeep.
@@Peep1171 something about actually having a connecton to a team always seemed more respectful than just rooting for whoever is the best at the time, but to each their own.
The Sharks' failure isn't just a failure, it's a way of life
As a Bills fan I know all too well how that works.
The only thing missing is a GM who constantly says "the culture is good"
@@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma I'm a Bills fan too, so I hear you 100%
As a Sharks fan, I have been a fan since I was 8 and my family had the luxury of season tickets. I was spoiled most of my life to have a team this was constantly good and made the playoffs basically every year (except one). I knew one day we were gonna suck. Didn't think it was going to be this year, but it might be the beginning. It comes with sports, teams rise and fall. Look at Detroit, they were a power house in the early 2000's. No one thought they were going to suck, but look at them now. Doug is one of those GM's that loves old players and rental forwards. It might've worked a few years ago, but now it is biting us in the ass. We have no prospects, our contracts and money scenario is a nightmare, and players like lebanc and Timo have no been playing like we expected them too. The sharks future is going to be dark, and its going to be a rough patch. We will see who are true fans and who aren't.
This was grim reading. I hate being a sports fan sometimes, you watch your team crumble and burn due to others and there isn't anything you can do but suck it up. Keep your eye on that silver lining
Tis' is the life of a sports fan, best of luck to you and stay strong, It'll get better soon... hopefully...
I survived the Niners falling to shit under Tomsula and Kelly. I survived the Warriors being the NBA's joke throughout the 2000's. I survived both Bay Area MLB teams being shit from 2016-2017. I survived the Quakes getting the Wooden Spoon. I survived the post-Ferguson era of Man United.
I can survive the Sharks getting old and being shit for a while.
Who knows? Maybe they'll have their "Warriors" moment in a few years.
hired Solskjaer. Woodson should just leave but that is nothing compared to Mike Ashley. Also, the Raiders a re a losing team and i support them. I dont even need to talk about my baseball, or basketball team as supporting those two teams are depressing enough but Ive become accustomed to losing. Not saying that I dont get hurt from losing. I obviously do but I come into most game expecting a loss now in almost every sport, almost every year.
The Bay Area: at least we have the Niners/ the Warriors when they get their core back together...!
Sherman Ng “and the A’s. Sorta”
Anthony Long yea there on the rise
and we had the Giants
As far as sports media in the bay area is concerned, the only teams that exist are the Dubs and Giants. Even the Raiders still get coverage.
It's funny how the Sharks were the only Bay Area team with consistent playoff appearances over the past 20 years...yet they're the team with ZERO titles.
Warriors: A lolcow before Curry. Won 3 titles and got hated by everyone else in the NBA.
Niners: York-Induced lolcowdom. Still have 2 Superbowl Appearances. May be back for more.
Giants: Lolcow now. Still have 3 World Series wins.
A's: Not a lolcow...but are poor, have a shit owner, and a shit stadium. May very well take over the AL West if Houston implodes. Oh, and there's 1989 and that threepeat in the 70's.
meanwhile...
Sharks: Always a contender. What do they get? A President's trophy, a Cup Final spanking by the Pens, and endless pain. At least they made us laugh at Vegas and Anaheim.
Considering how much talent and how many phenomenal teams that this franchise has had in its nearly 30 year history, it seems almost impossible that they haven't won a championship yet.
9:01 "Laugh at Tampa bay for training a first round pick for goodrow"
That pick turned into the 31st overall pick... And 2 cups for the bolts so I call that a win
“This was supposed to be a fleecing of Ottawa. Now they may end up getting Lafreniere or Byfield.” No Tree they got the best player in Stutzle
And now Marleau is back on the Sharks, and Thorton is on the Leafs
One day tree, one day you’ll be spinning a different tale of my sharks.
I hope to god I do.
I remember the one year we had no expectations, no pressure, no real worries, was 2015-2016. We went to the cup that year. As a fan of all my years of the Sharks, we play our best when we have no pressure, or no expectations to go far.
Maybe that's what Wilson's plan is. Suck this year. Make us have zero expectations. Pull a Cup run outta the Sharks' ass the very next year.
@@Pokemonmaster150b Missed the playoffs in 2003, went to their first Conference Finals in 2004, lost in 6.
Missed the playoffs in 2015, went to their first Stanley Cup Final in 2016, lost in 6.
Missed the playoffs (though not statistically eliminated) in 2020.....if they won their first Stanley Cup in 2021, that'd be like a month after their 30th anniversary (founded May 5, 1991).
I'd love that pattern.
watch that happen lmao
@@Pokemonmaster150b Nah we’re screwed. This is the beginning of the end for the Sharks
@@m.c.martin I said the same thing in the 15/16 season...and we ended up in the Cup final.
You’ll never know. The NHL has quite a bit of parity. Karlsson might be healthy. We have more depth in Donato and Nieto. I won’t be surprised if we do badly, but I won’t be surprised if we end up contending either.
As a sharks fan...
I’ve been waiting for this
RiceYY me too. It’s like Tree beat me to it.
I think this whole fan base need to watch this
I should show this to DOUG WILSON. Hopefully that’ll cause him to pull a 2016-esque Cup run out of his arse. Maybe not next year, but in the near future.
Win a Ring for Jumbo Joe. Win a ring for Couture, Burns, Vlasic, Kane, Hertl, Meier, Karlsson, etc. etc. Win a cup for the guys who never saw one in the Bay: Falloon, Ozolinsh, Baker, Irbe, Errey, Odgers, Nolan, Friesen, Damphousse, Sturm, Stuart, Ricci, Nabokov, Marleau, Boyle, Cheechoo, Setoguchi, Clowe, Pavelski...the list goes on.
Hey, if the Niners and Warriors can go from being a Lolcow to being dominant, maybe the Sharks can do the same.
Thanks for the first round pick! Nice to have Byfield & Stutzle in the future!
R K and the Sens will fuck that up because Melnyk and “wEr a tEEm”
And the Ottawa Senators draft with the 3rd Overall Pick, Tim Stutzle. THANK YOU SAN JOSE!
P.S. Josh Norris is looking to be a future star centerman! Thanks again!
Your real prize, however, was Eugene Melnyk finally going to hell, congratulations, your team is saved!

7:43 Ottawa got Tim Stützle so something good came out of that trade for them.
Also Tampa laughs at 9:00
Barclay Goodrow won the Cup with the Lightning.
Why you gotta do my city’s team like this lmaoooo
As a Sharks fan, they need it.
I think they should start blowing it up. Get young. Maybe keep Couture and Kane, but let Jumbo ride off into the sunset. Build for the future.
Blow it up? Did you see those contracts? They make Parise/Suter look like smart money in comparison! Doug Wilson may have fucked the Sharks for a long, long time.
Aidinho #25 yep you guys gotta start a rebuild, the kings and ducks are already years ahead of you guys in their rebuild
City?, y'all The Bay's team
First a Legacy of Failure for this time and now a Lolcow version, Tree really hates the Sharks
They're honestly my second-favorite team. I swear.
UrinatingTree Not after you ripped them apart Dude
They deserve it. It's always been close but never close enough
I'm a diehard Sharks fan and even I hate them. Being critical (or in this case honest) doesn't make you any less of a fan
@@UrinatingTree I feel your pain, man.
Maybe they'll do a 2016 and pull a Cup run out of their ass again? Me and the rest of the Bay hopes so.
Karlsson went to the Pens and now San José is one of the worst teams the NHL has ever seen.
They just lost their last 2 games 10-1 and 10-2. 20 goals against in 2 games. Jesus.
4:36 Used correct definition of simp! Good job Tree!
What Is The Song Used There
@@phillyfan0541 spanish flea
Anyone here after Doug Wilson is no longer the GM of this team?
Now Doug Wilson is stepping down as the Sharks GM
The San Jose Sharks won't be a contender for many years. They have internal struggles to deal with, a core of players not at 100% and the same players are not keen to rebuilding. Its sad but a reality to accept. Same for the Anaheim Ducks, who are heavily rebuilding and will take years to become a contender again.
And to think the Blues started all of this back in May 2019
Brennan McKinney ever since the hand pass they’ve been awful
@@knomies227 It's as if the Sharks have been cursed ever since the 'Hand Pass' goal...which was scored by Erik Karlsson of all people.
ckendall67 the hockey gods had enough temptation with the sharks playoff luck last year
@Justinn Zamorathe Hockey Gods don't believe in "Third time's the charm"
They beat Vegas on a defensive collapse in Game 7 and stole a game winner from the Blues on a blown hand-pass call. The price for both those free passes?
Getting annihilated physically and demoralized mentally in every aspect in games 5 & 6 by four or more goals per game, then giving up Braun, Donskoi, and their former captain. And listening to Dumbo Joe bitch and moan now that San Jose won't trade him to a "contender"
Riley Zack that is a fact!
I've been a big sharks fan for a decade, and I really appreciate this video. This is one is more satisfying than the previous one
I actually asked him for this as a sharks fan. I wanted to show all the sharks fans I was right. Tree is a genius
8:19 Welp....hopefully they find a GM that can at least not have the choking culture
“A mercy killing” is right. Jesus this hard to watch but so well said. UGH its sad being a Sharks fan right now
Love the vids man. Your not alone in your heartbreak with this team
2 years after this video and I completely forgot karlsson was in the NHL
So much respect for the quality content Mr. Tree! Thank you for entertaining us in these crazy times. Count my vote for a Maple Leafs Legacy of Failure; I totally understand if you're saving it for a certain time. Another idea: The Minnesota Timberwolves: Professional Basketball's Euthanized Puppies.
Patrick Thomas or the Chicago Bulls NBA's Circus 🎪
As a Cleveland Indians fan I can relate
We had all the talent yet always come up short many times
(Blew 3-1 to Cubs, Blew 2-0 to Yankees)
Chazz Treat I can relate too as a dodgers fan. These past 7 years have been torture
Jared Duenas worse, you got cheated out of two championships
Chazz Treat yep and the asterisks and their fans are not remorseful for doing it. And we still don’t know what the Red Sox did and how it effected the Dodgers in the WS. I’m more pissed about ‘17 then ‘18 because that year they were dominate and that WS is so intense and we could have won it but finding out they cheated the dodgers out of a WS is tough for dodger fans to swallow. The ‘18 team wasn’t as dominate as the ‘17 team and we were lucky that they got into the WS but then got cheated again so it sucks. And man I’m sorry about your Tribe, I was rooting for your team and they deserved it too. That series brought out the cancerous Cubs fans
I bet Tree is still mad at the Indians for giving Cubs and Yankees fans bragging rights
Jared Duenas the MLB is saying they are also investigating the Red Sox for cheating since Alex Cora was also on the Astros side too
With the 3rd pick in the 2020 NHL draft the Ottawa Senators select:

When your so early to the point the sharks still have the pick they gave up for Karlsson

I’m a die hard sharks fan and I always find your videos on point.
Love these hockey video! Awesome job!
Sharks made the playoffs from 2002-2019 with 5 WCF and a SCF appearance. Yet no cups!! They're the Philadelphia Eagles of NHL for sure.
At least the Eagles won Super Bowl LII.
This team is just nothing more than pain.
Good thing that The Niners, Giants, Warriors, Bayley can bring titles to the Bay Area.
Every (non-cursed) Metropolitan Area
has one or two token Lolcows
Miami has the Panthers and Marlins
New York has the Knicks and Mets
LA has the Chargers and Rams
Seattle has the Mariners
And it seems like the Bay's poor whipping boys are the Sharks. Even with only TWO playoff misses over the past TWENTY years, they have nothing to show for their constant competitiveness.
Thank you tree. From a sharks fan I’ve been in needs of a video demonstrating how badly we we’ve been tanking during 2019-20 season..
Tree always rips his teams harder than the rest. Quality content.

But, damn, they have had a damn great team and pissed it all away in the playoffs.. I still don't know how we pulled off a reverse sweep vs the sharks when we played our best hockey in game 3 and lost..
As a sharks fan, I needed this. As much as I love Doug. His time could be up
It’s been a rough couple of years for sports team in the Bay Area from the warriors dying, niners losing, the raiders leaving and sharks failing. But us in the 707 still appreciate these teams despite their short comings.

Gaikokujohn I’m from the 707, u know the part of the Bay that ain’t infested by rats or needles
How spoiled, woe is you winning 3 NBA championship in 5 years, have a super bowl contender in 49ers. The only bad is the Raiders and the sharks choking. Bay Area had more success in league than other cities had
Doug Wilson is a symbol of the Shark's loserocrity from the days they stunk up the Cow Palace worse than the cows.
Whenever Im sad because the knights lost a game I come watch this video, it gives me a warm feeling inside
yay a new hockey video. bless up yinzer
Now, the Leafs get Jumbo Joe!
As a Sharks fan, it’s hard to argue with anything you said here. However, with the new draft picks and the abundance of cap space we will have this offseason, I think they should still improve next season, if anything because they can’t do any worse than how they’re doing now. However, actually doing something next season is another story, like always 🙄
danynumero6, the Sharks currently have a projected $17.4 million left in cap space for next season. And they only have 5 D-men, 1 goalie, and 9 forwards under contract for next season. So, they need another 4 forwards, 2 D-men, and a goalie, which averages out to about 2.5 million per player. That’s not much space. Even if they grabbed a reliable veteran forward at a modest $5 million, then they can only offer an average of $2 million to everyone else without a contract yet. Unless they have a prospect catch fire, there’s no outside help coming to fix the Sharks next season.
AV 57 Fair point, but the Sharks could potentially have a couple prospects ready to make the big club this coming season. Ryan Merkley has been tearing it up in juniors. Plus there’s the first round pick we got for Goodrow and for the most part, Wilson has done well with his first round selections with guys like Couture, Hertl, and Meier. If both areas work out, they may be able to acquire some outside help for a fairly low cost. And I’m not saying this will make them Cup contenders, but it should improve them somewhat.
@@danynumero6 Not to ruin your optimism, but we're likely going to be in a situation like the Hawks (close to the bottom of the west, but still competitive at times). Healthy Karlsson, Hertl & Couture would help for sure, but to see our draft pick (likely #1-3) go to the Sens and us having a pick near the 28-30th of the 1st round doesn't even compare one bit.
Our bright spots are ELC players like Gregor, True & Ferraro who have been absolutely solid and show promise for our future. We were playing better in the 2nd half of the season (close games, albeit regulation losses) and played much better collectively as a team. Consistent play by Simek along with his contract is a huge plus. Meier heated up at the end of the season.
Our biggest issues - our goaltending is still inadequate and it's only going to drag us further down. Vlasic, Burns & Karlsson continuing to show they're slowing down (Burns still has the offense thankfully) and definitely not top-tier defenseman in a fast-paced game.
I really don't want to place any high expectations on our team next season but I'm very glad this season is done with and hopefully, we can draft some solid pieces with the pics we have (DW needs to draft a goalie asap).

4:34 - I fell out of my chair laughing, thank you.
Now San Jose has to deal with another new team
Kings fans thank you for this video!
Finally a video that expresses what it’s like to be a sharks fan
DON'T FORGET that Erik was rated a 90 in NHL 20, well done EA
Oh Good god oh mighty what was EA Smoking 🚬 on?
Posted on the same day as The Hockey Guy's upload of the Sharks beating the Red Wings in 1994 round 1. Hilarious coincidence.
Subscribed to both channels, LOVE how both Shannon and UT (hasn't revealed his actual name yet?) are very thorough with their research on the Sharks.
On the bright side it's tough to be disappointed when you have no expectations so the next few years should be a breath of fresh air for the sharks.
Alexander TG, rebuilds are a necessary part of every real fan’s experience. The Sharks haven’t rebuilt in over 20 years, so it could be good.
Might be the Bay's secret to sports success: Become shit, stumble upon surprising success, become dominant.
Just ask Golden State and the Niners.
Alexander TG no
I’m from the Bay Area and I don’t even watch hockey but it’s such a constant shift from hope to despair to torture for a while then some hope then back to despair, thank god im not a fan because it is quite entertaining to watch the sharks’ fans despair
Tree keeping my sanity during the coronavirus
KamarTB same for me
The Senators today are thankful they didnt get Byfield or Lafreniere with the Karlsson pick
Instead they got Tim Stutzle, who is dynamic
As a Vegas fan, nothing brings me more joy!
I'm not a Sharks fan, but this vid urinated on my mood immensely. I know what post-season failure is like because I've been a Capitals fan most of my 53 years here on earth. I thought we were forever doomed until 2018. Just have faith - it'll happen when you least expect it.
H. Mikael no
I'll always remember the duck hunt rally towels
That’s what’s up!
8:59 this did not age well
Go Sharks…
Welcome to tank mode boys!
_(I am a huge fan of the Sharks)_
Great vid as always, You should make update videos on previous lol cows, to see the teams progress since then
I just got into Hockey in 2016. Live in SJ, so become sharks fan. Watch them blow their chances at a cup. Get really into hockey 2019. Sharks suck and lose their first round pick........... Still love them though
Win or lose, the Sharks are always exciting.
Even if they suck, I can't wait to see how they'll play next season.
