The San Jose Sharks are horror-bad

3 game win streak since Couture returned, although 2 of those wins were OT/SO and outshot in all 3. Nonetheless... 4-2-1 in the second half of the season.

14 games to the TDL. 7 of them are "winnable" against mediocre or bottom-dwelling teams including 2 against the Ducks.

After TDL, 20 games remain. 7 against CGY, CHI (2), MIN (2), CBJ, OTT.

Assuming Sharks win 50% of the winnable games and let's call it 20% of the harder games... that's a projection of 7+4=11 more wins, for a total of 24, and approx. 53 points. This would be the ~80th worst season all-time for points%. Bad, but not really historically bad.

Assuming TDL thins out the roster a bit or just don't steal games like the last 2, maybe we see another 10-game losing streak and that looks more like ~7 wins for ~44 points. Tied with the '98 Lightning for 34th worst season all time. Closer to historically bad, certainly memorable for the fanbase.

They're bad. If they're horror-bad, then so are the Ducks and Hawks. Will be a nailbiter for worst team overall with 4 games vs. Ducks+Hawks remaining.

On the plus side, they managed to get 100 goals for. Didn't manage that with already letting in 200 goals against. Maybe they can get that feat when they pass 150 goals for.

At least we can see they are 0 for 16 on their last power plays over 7 games to make this a real 2023-24 San Jose Sharks thread. Hang in there, Fins fans. No pain, no gain.

come to think of it, my father turned down a transfer to San Jose in 1969. I could be dancing in the streets over this win streak if he accepted.
