The San Jose Sharks Are Not Playing Well

11/04/2019 at 11:37am EST

from Ryan Dixon of Sportsnet,

San Jose is in a world of trouble right now. The Sharks, losers of five straight, are last in a Pacific Division that has seen the Canucks, Oilers and — to a lesser degree — the Ducks get off to surprisingly great starts. Just as a team like Vancouver can arrive ahead of schedule, an older club like San Jose gets over the hill so fast in today’s NHL. More than any other organization that has not hung a championship banner, San Jose — which has missed the playoffs just twice in two decades — deserves the benefit of the doubt. But the Sharks cannot get a save right now, a trend that’s carried over from last year when they were still able to overcome substandard goaltending. This is as ugly as it gets in Northern California.
