Colorado Avalanche overpower the rebuilding San Jose Sharks with a decisive 6-0 shutout. Does this result confirm how far the Sharks still have to go, or are there signs of hope in their young core taking shape?
JD Young analyzes the gap between the Sharks and the Western Conference elite, highlighting Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar’s relentless play for Colorado. Sam Dickinson’s aggressive performance, along with promising flashes on the power play, point toward future potential—even as the rebuild continues. The Barracuda’s youth movement, led by Igor Chernyshov and Quentin Musty, offers another glimpse of the organization’s future. With upcoming showdowns against the Vegas Golden Knights and Vancouver Canucks, the Sharks face new tests in their quest to progress. Can this young roster turn lessons into wins, or will growing pains define the season?

I love all the wins, but I wouldn't mind one more #2 pick to get that top right handed defenseman! Then add Misa into the forwards, Musty, Chernyshov and the team is rocking.
Difference gap between a growing up-and-coming team to a real Cup contender
Nothing but respect for how the sharks have turned things around but this Avs team is looking unstoppable
We need Verhoeff!! Look at the oilers and leafs, they don’t have an elite mobile defenseman but greats forwards. Makar took the avalanche to a different level. We at least have Celebrini and Askarov but we really need elite defenseman.
Just a reminder from the Avs what the standard for Cup contender looks like. Two seasons ago this was probably a 10-0 game with the Sharks folding the tent after the 1st period. This team kept competing which is a good sign.
Avs fan here. Sharks are going to be legitimate Cup contenders in two or three years. Celebrini, Smith and Askarov are terrific players who haven’t hit their peak. Really fun team to watch.
Just keep contending. Play your heart out and maybe even make the playoffs. Next year, through drafts and trade, more quality will be added.
There is no shame in losing to Colorado. They are really good.
