Joe! Come out of retirement long enough to show Matt Mahan how to be brave!!! Show him how to stand up. He just embarrassed all of San Jose! He should apologize immediately! #bebravemattmahan Come on Joe. Help Matt out!
Ahh yes the days when we would lay huge open ice hits and absolutely make a goalie shit their pants, those were the days, and they are gone and will be for a long time, now our sharks are trash and goalies own them, they aren’t aggressive anymore, they play in a timid and conformist way now, they need more talent, and tenacity, and the list goes on of what they need, 😢
If the Sharks do get a Winter classic game one of the stadiums they could use is Cal golden bears stadium for it to happen they will have to either play Vegas Anaheim Seattle Colorado or los Angeles but i would love to see the sharks play the golden knights
No, they really don't. Half of the league has been in a WC, and there are still three teams that haven't been in ANY outdoor game. The only way the Sharks are getting into an outdoor game in the next few seasons is if they somehow get good and there's another Tahoe situation of having multiple matches in one venue.
When they get good again...They're not gonna spend all this money to showcase a bottom feeder My team (CBJ) still hasn't had a winter classic because they've never been a great team Hopefully soon though when all these prospects get seasoned in the NHL (same with the sharks)
I think the Sharks deserve a shot at the Winter Classic, and that every team does. Kraken have been looking good, Vegas won the cup. It was a good choice for this season, and I think the Kraken were the most marketable team to pitch against Vegas for the WC. As a fellow sharks fan, your takes on the Sharks' popularity and recognizability is super overblown. They're pretty recognizeable, but many other teams in the league are more recognizable. The Original Six, to name, well, six. And, just in California, the Kings are probably more recongizable, and the Ducks are definitely more recognizable thanks to their Disney ancestry. Which unfortunately makes the Sharks number 3 out of 3 just in their home state. I've grown up in the Bay Area as a Sharks fan, learned to skate and play hockey at Sharks Ice, and played at the Tank, so yes, I'm a Sharks fan.
I dont understand how you can think a team that is dead last in the league in a California market deserves prime time spotlight. I get that youre a Sharks fan but in no world does that make any sense. That said, id be all for a Sunshine State exclusive with the Sharks, Ducks, Kings and prob Kraken.
@@marcd.6672 I acknowledged that after the opening title, "showcasing the league's best, etc .." Just making a case for the Sharks to be considered moving forward.. hopefully they can put a record up to support the bid.
@@sharkcityhockey As big of a Sharks fan as I am, I don't want to see Sharks in the WC until.. 2027? Maybe 2028. Haven't Red Wings spent like... 8 years on their rebuild, and they're still 20th in the league? I will admit that I was as pleased as I was surprised to see the Kraken (22/32) shut out the f***ing Knights (6/32), but I felt that both teams at least looked good. Watching the Sharks flail in shallow water as they have this season, during one of the most exciting games of the year, just doesn't seem good for Sharks fans -- nevermind the entire league fandom. I agree, too, that the Sharks have had some inredible comeback games this season, but at this point it feels as though that was more about luck than it was skill. A second loooooooong loss streak is indicitive of that. Until we look like a team and stop literally passing the puck to opposing players, I just want to think about potential draft picks and trades to help us be more of a contending team.
That fake throwback jersey was a joke. Vegas has no history to merit a fauxback uniform. It's just as fake as that Dallas Stars Winter classic jersey that also had those tiny shoulder yokes like the Knights.
@@keldera They were handed the Cup by Gary Bettman (who desperately wanted a desert team to win a Cup since his Coyotes failed miserably) and the NHL by rigging the expansion draft and fleecing the Sabres to get a crybaby out of Buffalo and stacking their team by ripping off teams like L.A. and Ottawa.
San Jose Sharks played LA Kings at Levi Stadium in 2015 Winter Classic. So its been done before. And from what I heard from people that went, it wasn't that great. Too big of a stadium and the rink was too far away from fans.
I was at that SS game, and having gone to the WC in Seattle I can confirm football stadiums 100% suck as a hockey venue. At the same time, it's only partially about the game, it's also about the atmosphere.
at 52:19, you said" 10 years ago, the Sharks had only 3-4 victories going into December... I think less wins than what the current squad has now and they found themselves winning over 40 games, I believe 41 games." The 2014-2015 Sharks won their first 3 games of the season. They were 11-10-4 going into December. Through their first 21 games, their record was 10-9-2. The current Sharks roster 4-15-2. They did end the season with 40 wins, but on what planet is 4 wins more than 11???
I remember when He was a rookie in 1997 with Boston. They practiced in Wilmington Mass. Which is one town over from where I still live. I took My 7 year old Son to a lot of practices. Perfect age to go to Bruins practices. Got a ton of autographs. Great times.
Too bad Bruins front office sucked during your tenure and never gave you the proper team to go truly chase the Cup and they eventually traded you to SJ. You deserved to be treated better by them. Enjoy retirement!!!!
People are saying the Sharks are gunna be good. But honestly they are the kinda team that is gunna have to rely on the other team having a bad night for parts or all of a game to win. These really good teams we're starting out with are never not going to play a full 60 mins. That kinda hockey will come back for us eventually though
They need to redo the mix on this song so we can hear the lyrics. A really good tune is ruined by the singer just SHOUTING through the whole song. I am a season ticket holder and have heard the song twice so far and like I say; can't understand a single word!
It was a full house by puck drop. There was a jam packed food festival outside before the game that most trickled in from during intros. Will it be full every nite ? Probably not, but that happens in rebuilds.
@@katdan710 That is good to hear. I was fortunate to be able to go to opening night a few years back. Seats were packed before the lights were down for the intro.
@havu2236 Oh yeah, I've been there for those nights, too. Normally they just have a street fair prior to, but yesterday it was a food truck bonanza outside, so people lingered outside longer than they normally would. It was a good, energetic crowd !!!
