So let's get this straight: The Sharks lose their first 11 games, have a stretch where they lose six of seven, then lose their last seven? Talk about being a bucket of chum for a team.

Everything is in shambles for San Jose. There's no offense, the blue lines stink, and there's no goaltending. It's safe to say it's gonna be a looooooooooong season for the Sharks in the Pacific Division.
