Après de nombreuses années et une longue saison en cours… J’ai des pensées sur les Sharks de San Jose en ce moment – que je n’ai jamais vécues auparavant.

Brodie: Just have to say that our Kings are plain cruising with a point in 12 straight games. Go Kings!
I've watched maybe 5 games this year. Gone to 2 cuda games. I once chose to work at SAP center as a blue coat to watch every game. I cried as a kid every playoff loss. The Sharks Org inability to retain their brand image in the league has been horrifyingly obvious. I know they can't win forever, but why be a fan? What has the Org done to get me into the tank? Karlsson? Where is the ampotshere? Feels like a disrespect to hockey as a whole in the Bay. Our logo is as weak in the minds of the Bay Area market as say the Earthquakes are. The coliseum at least has gusto for when the A's become loveable losers.
Better late than never I guess
Well said Brodie. I started following after my first live game in 93. It just happened to be the 1st win at The Tank. I can still hear the crowd chanting, "One, Eight and One! One, Eight and One!" as we descend towards Santa Clara Street. It does feel weird to not be as concerned with the results but with the GM change over, I was prepared to go to a place I've never been before with the Sharks. I think this is good for the fanbase. I hope it makes us appreciate how good we had it for the majority of 30 years.
i dont think you should be embarrassed to share what everyone is thinking, and what is clearly the best route for the franchise moving forward. its just a strange feeling to have while bleeding teal.
Brodie, Who would you like the Sharks to draft first in the next NHL draft?
I'll say it Brodie, TANK FOR BEDARD!!!! There's literally no point in getting anymore points this season as a team. Sure, individual players do your thing, but please dont let these translate to team W's.
I have no shame in saying I hope we lose every single game the rest of the season just so we can finish with a top pick, and speed up this rebuild. Winning right now holds no value for the team. I do want the games to still be entertaining like against Edmonton, and for individuals to still make their moves but with regulation losses. This is the path we’re stuck with so we as fans need to embrace the fact that we could miss the playoffs for the next 7-10 total years before we’re back and competitive.
I dont want the sharks to lose ever. Except these last 9 games 😅🙏
Been a fan since 94. Have never rooted for the Sharks to lose. Not once. Until this season. I'm in the exact same spot as you. This year… we're already down at the bottom and the top 3 picks, having a great chance at Bedard in general, is worth it more than any wins.
Good to see you come to terms with the situation. There were basically no other options left than look toward the future.
Well said! Agree wholeheartedly! Life gives you lemons make lemonade! Go EK65
It’s been a rough couple seasons as a Sharks fan, but winning for so long and having the talent we had created this. It’s only natural for a franchise dealing with a salary cap and not having high draft picks for this to happen. The question is how long will this last and how the team and the pipeline of young players develop from here on out turn the team around. Forever optimistic, it stinks losing but that was inevitable.
I really hope EK65 gets to 100 points so we can get more for trading him in the off-season, because in all honesty the sharks have never been the right fit for him as a D-man and he took up way too much of our war chest/ cap space for what he has brought to the sharks.
Totally get what you are saying. This point I think we can all agree we aren't happy with things. Want to see the guys out there playing for their next contract, spot, etc. I think this will help to develop a fan base in San Jose with the Barracuda, because for the most part they played in Worchester. It's very poetic with new exciting talent, a new arena, a new GM (Best of wishes to Doug Wilson), a new Era of Sharks hockey. One that a lot of fans can go and have this homegrown culture of watching them in the minors and seeing them in "The Tank"
Well said, Brodie. My son and I were on a great roadie to Alberta last week and we went to the games in Edmonton and Calgary! Seemed like just about everyone in Edmonton understood why we were rooting for our team to lose.. It was a great atmopshopere in both stadiums (esp. Edmonton and that was a great game) but still quite a surreal experience for us, as we have been Sharks fans for 30 years (I was an original season ticket holder from Day 1 until this year) and my son was lamenting the fact that this was the first time in his life he had ever rooted for one of his teams to lose. As long time A's fans we are also conflicted about rooting for them given everything going on with the horrible ownership and uncertain stadium situation.
100% agree, never felt like this before. Best case scenario Sharks lose the rest of the 9 games of the season and lockup the best draft position . Love my Sharks but we need to lose these games in regulation. Can’t wait till draft day 🦈
I have been to 30 opening day games and was a season ticket holder for the first 24 years. That's what is so hard about attending games down the stretch (and why I don't)…. I don't want to root against them but what is best would be for them to lose out and win the Bedard sweepstakes.
I appreciate the optimism here Brodie, and the shift in focus. I still tune into every game religiously, and over the last month or so, I've noticed myself more and more able to enjoy different aspects of the game despite the constant disappointment of the losses. I'm still not an EK65 fan, but would of course love to see him get 100 points and get the Norris. I'm also really paying attention to the individual effort that players are making game by game in the face of adversity. I'm excited to see Thrun play, and I'm really hoping that this bummer season at least results in another franchise player, like you said. No matter what, I'll always bleed teal!
only team at 19 wins, a lot of OTLs. love the team, want the best for them and the players and coaches on it. for players and coaches that best is winning, and i understand that’s what you have to do to survive in the league. what’s best for the team unfortunately is guaranteeing a top 3 pick by securing the #1 odds. i don’t root for losses, but i don’t see how, as a fan, i’m supposed to be motivated to get up and cheer them on to win games, when all those wins will probably do is make us 4th in the lottery race in a lost season, and make us potentially fall to as low as 7th overall in a season where we actually had the least amount of wins among everyone, but just gained points in OT. don’t want them to lose out, moreso want columbus, anaheim, and chicago to win a bit towards the end, but moreso just highlighting that we all feel ya in one way or another brodie
I was 6 years old during Sharks first season, and win or lose, it was awesome to go to the dozen games i went to. I remember fans chanting Irbe when he did amazing or failed hard. We were not nice. Watched us upset Calgary (amazing experience). It's sad, because I'm getting old and would love to see a stanley in my lifetime, but a fan for life. I'm in for the good and the bad. Just like the Giants (sry Brodie), the 49ers, and the Warriors. I know u are too Brodie, don't tell anyone, but I do root for A's when SF is out. Born in San Mateo, but grew up in Hayward
c’mon boys, let’s show everyone why we call our arena “the tank” !
Tbh I was upset when I saw the are Sharks fans spoiled question posed. We never won a cup so no that makes no sense. It could only apply to the dubs and possibly giants fanbase. Nice to know u get where suffering fans are coming from.
