The San Jose Sharks: A Legacy of Failure 

"More playoff success than the Capitals and Blues combined." Possibly the only thing in this video that did not age well.

Its all fun and games till UrinatingTree makes fun of your team :(

"at least you have more playoff success than the Blues and Capitals combined" - Capitals proceed to win the Stanley Cup - Blues proceed to win the Stanley Cup If this isn't proof Tree is a jinx idk what is

Tree: You can now boast that you have more playoff success than the Blues and Capitals combined. Hockey gods: HMMMMM

11:15 "Hold your heads high though! You can now boast that you have more playoff success than the Blues and Capitals combined! Uhhhh about that 😬😬😬

As a Sharks fan, well I don’t have anything else to say other than I’m a Sharks fan.

This aged beautifully

"Hold your heads high though! You can now boast that you have more playoff success than the Blues and Capitals combined." This statement aged like milk.

It was inevitable that he would rip into my favorite hockey team, and it did not disappoint.

As a Sharks fan I was predicting that this will come and it was still a painful video to watch. Still enjoyable though

“Remember that goalie you traded to Vegas for next to nothing? Yeah look away as he won a cup with the Knights. Keep in mind it’s their 6th year in existence too.”

Someone is shedding their choker label this year! Unfortunately, it's not you!

The “Reverse Sweep” is the funniest edit in any of his vids. Change my mind

Sharks are like an underdog story that’s still stuck in Act I

Who’s here after the San Jose Sharks allowed 10 goals in back to back games?

Patrick Marleau might be a candidate for the saddest career ever. That poor man, he deserved better.

You've outdone yourself Tree. This is without a doubt my favorite of the Legacy of Failure series. Well done.

As a long time fan of the Sharks this was pure pain to watch, but it was necessary pain and a cathartic experience. Job well done. San Jose deserves it. I hope one day that they will finally be more than failures in the post-season and win at least one cup. That's all I am asking for at this point. Just one cup.

2018: "Hold your heads high though, you can now boast that you have more playoff success than the Blues and Capitals combined" 2023: "Hold your heads high though, you can now boast that you have more playoff success than the Blue Jackets and Wild combined"

Anyone here after they got beat by the Canucks 10-1?

How many Sharks fans like me are watching this in pain?

I loved that time machine you did..

I went to a Panthers game last Saturday and they played the Sharks. They blew a 4-0 lead and the Panthers won 5-4. Perfectly sums up the Sharks in my opinion.

June 12 2019: “hold your heads high, you now have LESS playoff success than the Blues and Capitals combined” lol😂

As a sharks fan, I love the video, but I was not expecting the part of the Oakland Seals/ Cleveland Barons. Good job!!! BTW, 4 videos in 3 days, impressive!

Yesterday is the Sharks version of the “they lost to a 40 year old Zamboni driver who works for them”.

The fact that Vegas, Washington and St.Louis have all held the cup since then😂😂

" By the gods, someone is shedding their chocker label this year !!!......... Unfortunately its not you ! " The Legacy of Failure shall continue

Good job as always 'tree!

Well the caps just won the cup, this is awkward

And the legacy of failure continues in 2019 against a team that hasn’t made the Cup Finals in nearly 50 years. X. F. D. Sharks.

2016 - Caps LOF 2017 - Blues LOF 2018 - Sharks LOF 2018 - Caps win the cup 2019 - Blues win the cup 2020 - Sharks win the cup? EDIT: why was I optimistic about this shithole of a franchise?

Hello Sharkness my old friend...

San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers: A Legacy of failure.

Me, a Sharks fan even in 2023: Tree's about to rip on my team retroactively and I'm going to both crack up and cry Nailed it.

Ironically, this video auto played for me after the highlights video of Game 6 🤣

congrats CAPS, your team FINALLY got past those penguins.

the LeBronto Raptors Legacy of Failure vid will come very soon.

Sharks fan since 11 years old in 1991, family still holds on to season tickets. The Seals played in front of tumbleweeds, crickets, and my father who with his friends was a Seals season ticket holder. We deserve this. Thank you.

Ironically, the Blues are also looking for revenge after their 2016 defeat. They didn't just beat you guys, they curbstomped you in 6 games, especially after getting screwed by a hand pass in Game 3.

The Orlando Magic: A Legacy of Failure

The pain of that 4 OT loss to the Stars, I still feel it when it rains

REVERSE SWEEP!! My third favorite hockey moment after the 2 Kings Cup wins

The San Jose Sharks eliminated from the playoff picture for the second consecutive year brought me here.

Falcons: No one can choke as badly as we did in the Super Bowl. Sharks: Please, that was one game, we choke every single year. Blues: Well, at least we have the Capitals. They can't make it past the second round. Vikings: Not anymore, they made it to the third round.

Also I would like to point out that in the 2004 Western Conference Final, when the Sharks lost to the Flames in six games, they not only lost to their former goalie Mikka Kiprusoff, they also lost to their former head coach Darryl Sutter (who was fired during the previous and was replaced by Ron Wilson like you mentioned)

5:56 That "Third String goalie traded for a Draft Pick" That "Draft Pick" ended up becoming some dude named Marc-Edouard Vlasic.

Who's Back here after the Sharks lost back to back games while the opposing teams scored 10 goals on them?

Evander Kane is just too good right now

I'm a Sharks fan, and a Sacramento Kings fan. So for me, this franchise is a a legacy of success when I watch basketball and stare at the utter horror which is the Sacramento Kings

The 49ers did it The Giants did it The Warriors did it The Sharks- WHY CANT YOU GUYS COMPLETE THE RECTANGLE

This video is even more relevant now than it was 5 years ago

As a casual fan of the NHL.. this history lesson was awesome...didn't know the Sharks passed through Cleveland and are technically an expansion team in my lifetime.. great vid as always keep it up (from South Africa)

Update: *2018 Offseason* You have signed Erik Karlsson! Possibly your last piece to win the Stanley Cup. *2019* Here we are again. You are once again in the playoffs but probably going to choke, considering the fact you failed to win the division despite adding Karlsson. *2019 West Quarter-Finals* You’re down 3-1 in this series, you have nothing to choke if you suck in the first place. *Game 7* Wow you made it to game 7, complete the comeback! *12 minute mark* Never mind you’re down 3-0 with under 12 minutes left and... oh my god. Did the Knights just commit a 5 minute penalty? *5 minutes later* You’re up 4-3... way to make the Knights choke! *End of Regulation* And you blew it and let the Knights tie it with under a minute left, only fitting. *Overtime* YOU WON! You completed a great comeback in this game and series! It’s time for the Sharks to finally win the cup! Continue this great story all the way to Lord Stanley! You’re playing the Avalanche with home ice next series! *West Semi-Finals* Jesus H. Christ that shouldn’t have been that close. The series went to 7 and you only won that game by 1. But it’s ok, repeat what you did 4 years ago and beat the Blues in the West Final! *West Final* The series is split a 2 games a piece as you go back home for game 5, you got this! *Game 5* And you get asswiped all the way around the bay. *Game 6* That continues into St. Louis as you get knocked around again and shutout ending your Stanley Cup run abruptly. *2019 Offseason* Nothing much has changed aside from losing longtime captain Joe Pavelski. *2020* You guys are suddenly in the stellar of the league after horrible coaching and shitty goaltending. Firing your coach didn’t even make a difference. Just chill in the stellar while the rest of this pointless regular season is delayed because of the coronavirus.

It took me this long to realize UTree used the instrumental track to Fear Factory’s Zero Signal. Classy.

"The league disapproves moving the North Stars." *cough*

REVERSE SWEEP....I died

@9:44 😂😂 Besides the language, this is good. That “REVERSE SWEEP” is comedy gold (Price is Right theme music and all)

Good lord, the foreshadowing when he said the Sharks have more playoff success than the Capitals and the Blues combined. They both now have Cups.

Who's watching this after seeing the St. Louis Blues knock them out in the WCF?

The San Jose Sharks eliminated from Stanley Cup Playoff contention three years in a row for the first time in their history brought me here.

Here's how the Sharks have done since this video was uploaded: *September 13, 2018* - Well, look at that! They make a huge trade just before the season: Erik Karlsson, a skilled defenseman freed from the mess that is the Ottawa Senators. All for the price of... eugh that's actually a hefty package. But never mind that, he'll justify it with his play! No, we're not worried about his injury history, why should we be? *February 25, 2019* - Ooh, they add Gustav Nyquist to help with their playoff push! Nice work, Sharks. Quick side note though: you're trading quite a lot of draft picks away. Just make sure it doesn't come back to haunt you. *Western Conference First Round, 2019* - How about that! You overcame a 3-1 series deficit thanks in part to Martin Jones suddenly finding incredible form! Now is the time to be the one to get revenge for last year's defeat! Time to take out those arrogant Vegas Golden Knights! *Western Conference First Round, Game 7, 2019* - Oh right, this is the Sharks. They go down 3-0 with almost no shot of-- [Joe Pavelski gets hurt] oh dear God! Why do the powers that be hate them enough to kick us while they're down?! I know they called a major penalty on Vegas despite it being a freak accident, but how is that gonna help?! *Later* - Wait, they scored 4 goals on the ensuing 5-minute powerplay to take the lead? Well, that's cool! Oh wait, Vegas tied it up again, pack it up, you're not gonna win this one. [Sharks win in OT] Huh. I'll be damned. *Western Conference Second Round, 2019* - Look at you go! You carried that momentum and even beat the Avalanche in 7 games! Ignore that there was yet another controversial call that went in your favor, you are headed to the Western Conference Finals! All we need to do is beat the Blues just like we did in 2016! This is the year, boys, I can feel it! *Western Conference Final, 2019* - My feelings lied to me. The Blues get their revenge for 2016 and continue their Cinderella run, while the clock strikes midnight on the Sharks and they go home. Even with a THIRD controversial call going their way, they still blew it. Goes to show that maybe they didn't belong here. Can't believe I didn't see this coming. Worst of all, I can't even drown the pain because I'm out of bleach. *2018 and 2019 Stanley Cup Finals* - Remember what I said about having more success than the Capitals and Blues combined? Just forget I ever said anything. *June 17, 2019* - Erik Karlsson may not have the production we thought due to injuries (shocker, I know), but that's okay. We can still re-sign him for-- JESUS CHRIST DOUG!!! $11.5 MILLION PER YEAR FOR 8 YEARS?!?!? This is the kind of deal you make AFTER you win a Cup, not before!! *July 1, 2019* - Okay that was bad, but Doug can still make up for it. All he has to do is re-sign Joe Pavelski. He's the captain, he's a guy the players will rally around, so he'd surely wanna stay, right? Aaaand he signed with the Stars. Fuck. *October 9, 2019* - Well, at least they brought Patrick Marleau back. Yay? *December 11, 2019* - The Sharks get in a huge slump for the first part of the season. Peter DeBoer is shown the door for his failures. Vegas can have fun not winning any Cups. *2020* - The rest of the season turns into a shitshow. They are once again a punching bag and are forced to ship off Patrick Marleau to the Penguins at the deadline. When the season comes to an abrupt end due to a global pandemic, the Sharks are one of seven teams not invited to the expanded playoffs. Well, at least we'll get a high draft pick for being dead last in the Western Conf-- what do you mean we sent it to Ottawa in the Karlsson trade?! *2020 Draft Lottery* - That pick ends up being the 3rd overall selection. I tried to warn you, Doug. Sigh, at least we got a first round pick at the deadline. Thanks for the overpayment, Tampa! Have fun with Barclay Goodrow! *Stanley Cup Final, 2020* - Barclay Goodrow goes on to be a big depth piece in back-to-back Stanley Cup victories for the Tampa Bay Lightning because of course he does. *2020 Offseason* - For the second time in his career, Patrick Marleau returns to San Jose. Well, at least he and Jumbo Joe can retire here togeth-- Jumbo signed with the Leafs? Sigh. *2021* - To the surprise of no one, the Sharks are a bottom-feeder in their re-aligned division. The only positive is Patrick Marleau breaking the all-time games played record. That and the anniversary jerseys, those are sweet. *2021 Offseason* - Martin Jones gets to go to the goaltender graveyard known as the Flyers. Fitting for him. Meanwhile, there's a chance Jumbo Joe comes to retire as a Shark... aaaand he signed with Florida. Hope they can at least get him a Cup. *October 18, 2021* - Evander Kane is a fucking idiot who has so many off-ice issues he might as well be an NFL player. He is suspended 21 games for a fake vaccine card, eventually waived, and sent down to the AHL. His contract is eventually terminated...only for him to sign with the Oilers not too long after. He's their problem now! *2022* - Even with the divisions being back to normal, the Sharks are once again a punching bag. Doug Wilson resigns due to health issues at the end of the year. The time has officially come to rebuild. Only problem is all the long-term contracts. Ah well, at least we're not as screwed as Vegas. *July 13, 2022* - And now Brent Burns is gone, traded off to chase a ring with the Hurricanes. It hurts, but it was unfortunately time to do so. The package doesn't hurt either. *July 26, 2022* - David Quinn is your new head coach. Well you could definitely do worse, I guess? *August 29, 2022* - We can do better than Adin Hill in net. Let's trade him to Vegas for a fourth-round pick. They can have fun trying to win anything with him! *2023* - Great news, Sharks fans! Erik Karlsson has finally returned to his past form and puts up a Norris-worthy season! Unfortunately, the catch is that the rest of the team is still a bunch of shit. Players are sold off at the deadline, and you're still deep in the basement. Good thing I got some more bleach. *2023 Stanley Cup Finals* - The Vegas Golden Knights, thanks to the efforts of your old friend Adin Hill, have won the Stanley Cup. You have now lost the only thing you can hold over their heads. *August 6, 2023* - Erik Karlsson is now gone. It's a massive three-team trade that sends him to the Penguins. Oh well, time to bring out the tanks! I'll update as time goes along.

As a Kings fan, that 2014 playoff series against the sharks was the best. We’re trash now, but worth.

This coming up on my feed all of a sudden is hilarious

2019: Erik. Fucking. Karlsson. You managed to pay pennies on the dollar for an elite defenseman and you now have the most stacked defense core in the league. Plus a talented forward core that adds Gustav Nyquist at the deadline. This has got to be the year isn't it? Round 1, 2019: You're about to get embarrassed by that same damn expansion team again and Martin Jones turned into a pumpkin. Where's the ammonia? Game 6, Round 1: Apparently Martin Jones drank a potion to reverse the pumpkin spell and forced a game 7 for you. Hold off on the ammonia for now. Game 7, 3rd period: And you're taking the piss in a big game yet again. Hand me that ammonia right awa… *cue Pavelski getting cross checked and Sharks proceeding to score 4 goals* OH MY GOD LET'S FUCKING GO!!!! Game 7, 3rd period, under 2 minutes left: Please tell me you're not going to make that go to waste. Game 7, overtime: *cue Barclay Goodrow's goal* Holy shit they climbed the mountain and pulled off their greatest win in franchise history. Surely this is a team of destiny! Round 2, 2019: You're about to lose to the Avalanche of all teams? C'mon, this team has been overachieving since February and... *cue game winning goal* you're not choking... Round 3, 2019: You just got another huge break to go up 2-1 against the Blues. Even the refs are on your side now. *glass shatters* *cue injury noises* apparently the hockey gods were not though. Hand me that ammonia please. Stanley Cup Final, 2019: Remember when I said you now have more playoff success than the Blues and Capitals combined? Yeah scratch that, they've both won cups the last two years. Least you still have more playoff success than the Coyotes, Jets, Blue Jackets and Panthers.

As always, great video. Although, you forgot to mention one thing. The Golden Seals were so desperate to get people to come to their game they hired a girl (who was the girlfiriend of their stick boy at the time) to skate around the ice naked during time-outs. I really wish I was making that up.

@11:22. That awkward moment when both the Blues and Capitals won a cup before the sharks won one

Hopefully UrinatingTree has restocked on the liquor. If not it's back to the bleach! If no more bleach I can assume UrinatingTree has died. Thanks a lot 2019 San Jose Sharks!

Is pekka rinne to good right now tree?

REVERSE SWEEP!!!!!

Anyone here after big game 7 win against Vegas?

They're The Vikings of the NHL, they always choke in the playoffs despite being a consistent playoff team

wow lol😂😂 as a die hard Sharks fan i know all to well the feeling of having your heat riped from my chest and having it replaced by sadness and sorrow every April. that was a damn good video. hate to relive the bullshit endings and especially this recent loss to vegas. but it is what it is. keep up the great work bro. 👍

So far this will not end this season

Remember when the Sharks were actually a playoff team?

The Chargers of the NHL

Woah I was waiting for a congratulations SJ Sharks, but as a sharks fan looks like I got much more! :)

2:18 Beautiful editing job. That deserves an award.

2021: Another disappointing season, shocking. At least, Patrick Marleau has the NHL record for the most games played.

2019-20 Season You couldn't even close to the Playoffs even with the expanded format due to Covid. 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons Welcome back to the Basement Sharks

If the Capitals win the cup this year, im glad you made this cuz it means we’ll win next year

As a Sharks fan, this video is completely accurate.

Time to add yet another chapter to their illustrious legacy of failure...

If the capitals can finally win it the sharks can do it

I was waiting for this video and was not disappointed 100/10

As a sharks fan, this is painful but all true.

2018 offseason: After last year’s embarrassment we need to go big this year boys. Acquire Mike Hoffman from the Senators just to dump him into the dumpster fire that is the Florida Panthers two hours later for some picks. All this done to dump cap and set up to do something huge in the offseason. The Sharks fail sign John Tavares but decide to go with plan B.....Erik Fucking Karlsson. Now the boys are getting serious. Acquiring the best defenseman in the game via trade and Evander Kane’s big contract extension are proof that the Sharks are going all in this year. They know that time might be running out so they decide to make it count while they still can. Sure Karlsson is injury prone now, he only has one year left on his contract, and he said beforehand that he had no commitments to re-sign with you but still, it’s Erik Fucking Karlsson. Just the thought of him and Brent Burns together on the same powerplay unit is enough to make the league afraid of you and consider you favorites to win the Stanley Cup. Should be an interesting season. 2018-19 season: Karlsson struggles out of the gate, can’t stay healthy for shit, and is extremely inconsistent when he is healthy. At least he can still play in the all-star game this year.....and then he misses the rest of the regular season.....well shit. Regardless though you have another good season. Brent Burns has gone super saiyan again and is having another fantastic year. The powerplay is just about as good as advertised and you nab Gustav Nyquist at the trade deadline to help you on your playoff run. You even manage to secure home ice advantage in a first round rematch with the Knights. Should be an interesting series and you’ll get Karlsson back for the playoffs as well. Let’s see what happens. 2019 1st round: You’re losing 3-0 in a god damn game 7 on home ice and you’re about to an expansion team for the 2nd year in a row!? Are you serious boys!? Late 3rd period: Nevermind, the hockey gods reward you with a 5 minute powerplay and you come back to score 4 powerplay goals en route to winning the series in 7. Sure Vegas May have tied the game late but you manage to complete the comeback in overtime as Barclay Goodrow goes from the guy who almost cost you game 6 and the guy who got almost no ice time all game 7 long to the savior you needed. Well done boys. You’re going to play the Avalanche in the next round and you erase last year’s embarrassment. 2019 2nd round: You manage to beat the Avalanche in 7 games and now you’re going back to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in 3 years. Sure you were expected to beat the Avalanche much easier than you did but you still beat them nonetheless. Cup ambitions are high in the Bay Area. 2019 Western Conference Finals: You get beaten to a pulp by your choking brothers in the St. Louis Blues. A team dead last in the NHL in early January and you lose to them in 6 games. I guess having those refs kicked out for the rest of the playoffs didn’t help your case after all now did it!? Maybe you should try not having all sorts of injuries to go into a series next time. But wait, this is the Sharks we’re talking about. Even if you were fully healthy going in and even if Erik Karlsson had lived up to your expectations this year you still probably would have found a way to choke the playoffs away. By the way how did Mike Hoffman do in Florida this year?

THIS is the last remaining NHL Legacy of Failure

The sharks blew a 3-0 lead

*insert jaws theme*

No reverse sweeps as Vegas wins Game 6 in Dallas and Miami wins Game 7 in Boston.

With the St. Louis Blues breaking through, here are my latest Top Five most snakebitten teams in the NHL. 1. Toronto Maple Leafs 2. San Jose Sharks 3. Vancouver Canucks 4. Buffalo Sabres 5. First incarnation of the Winnipeg Jets/Arizona Coyotes

Joe thornton is too good right now

"DON'T GO FULL SHARKS ON US AGAIN THIS YEAR, BOYS!!!" is my fave quote

What a franchise timeline! 1967-1970: Oakland Seals 1970-1976: California Golden Seals 1976-1978: Cleveland Barons 1978-1991: Who cares! 1991-?: San Jose Sharks

10:49 The Blues turn has come

According to Tree, these Sharks have no bite. Nice use of the DeLorean to travel to the 1990s.

The Seattle Mariners: A Legacy of Failure

He needs to do an updated version because the Sharks are going for a record 4th year "missing the play-offs".
