Hey, we’re Mammoth fans now and we actually have a chance
Poor Bayley
Still more SCF appearances in the last 33 gears than Toronto
Micheal misa will smith and celebrini? I dont worry
Sadly accurate, although vibes are pretty good currently. Also I think the goalie graveyard is a tad exaggerated.
That’s my team lmao
Well just like a real shark. We must keep moving forward.
JFC…this was a bit brutal and mean spirited, eh? Like, your videos usual have a sense of hope and optimism while giving whatever franchise you’re covering, its flowers. But you still pull out the facts and truths. But this? This was a tad unnecessary. Watching this was like that Simpsons meme…”Stop! Stop! He’s already dead!” And that was just the first minute of this video. Bad form, sir. Bad form. 😔
When is my cbj coming out I be waiting for this video
Please do why it sucks to be an oilers fan
my first was brent burns
Great video!!!!!!!!! Oilers next ?
It's always funny to me that people take a dig at the sharks for the major penalty that got called to their benefit in the Vegas series…..when all Vegas had to do was kill the penalty and hang on to a 3-0 lead.
It absolutely should not have been a major penalty…..the Vegas should have absolutely been able to hold on to a 3 goal lead for 5 minutes.
Vegas choked.
I literally blew my draft interview on NHL 2025 so the Sharks wouldn't take me. I went 2nd over all to the Blackhawks. I kinda regret it though because low-key I followed them lol.
All this is incorrect. We've been here since Pat Falloon and our catalyst to fandom began with eliminating Detroit in 1994 when they were the Panthers of their time. The 94 wings had nearly the same roster that would end their cup drought in 97 but San Jose eliminated them in 7 in 94 and we became fans! This would be akin to current Boston beating current Florida in 7. It was unheard of and wasn't supposed to happen. No San Jose doesn't have a cup to their name yet but that time is coming. Everyone can feel it. Look at the current rosters of players on teams and age them up 10 years. How's your team looking? Now how does San Jose look. Yep, terrifying!
Wang Haoxi will bring a Cup to San Jose…..I can feel it
Might make Sharks' fans feel better to know that it most probably isn't because of the logo or the colors, since the Rimouski Océanic's logo and original color scheme circa 1995 were heavily inspired by San Jose's and it took them only five years to win it all in the CHL. Granted, they had already switched from teal to marine blue for their primary color by then, but hey!
Their original uniforms with all those weird arse patterns were the most mid-nineties thing that has ever mid-ninteened. Vincent Lecavalier and Brad Richards wore these.
you know who i am. why bro
why are you doig this to people.
this hurts, like all of you vids
🙁
Yay finally a video about the Sharks 🦈 this is the video I was looking for 😊 next video: mighty Ducks 🦆 😁
ducks next Lol
I’ve been watching the sharks since 1991. My first jersey was a Brian Hayward jersey cause he had a shark mouth on his helmet
The pain train has no breaks
I guess AI can’t pronounce “pavelski”
My problem as a "former" SJ Sharks season ticket holder wasn't the on-ice performance or results. Rather it was the fact that they threw law enforcement under the bus after the George Floyd verdict.
If that is the ticket base that they're going to pander to, so be it . . .they can have my seat.
I cheer for the Sharks because I’m a masochist.
Pavel-eski…
Why is every second hockey channel ai?
At least the 2030s sharks are shaping up to like the 2020s Leafs and be that high octane offense oct-march that sputters out mid April
I disagree, the jersey sucks.
You should do Senators next. We got it pretty rough, I think the Sharks have a slightly better playoff history then my Sens. I live halfway between Ottawa and Toronto, I don't like Toronto so Sens it was….. I could definitely make better life choices lol
AI slop 👎🏻
Did he just say paveleski instead of pavelski
As a cats fan I’d love to see them be competitive again they need better ownership
as a sharks fan. it’s literally the most fun team to watch. the sharks have promise in the future. compared to the A’s and the raiders it’s the only team i can fully get behind.
also sorry not to bust the chill sharks fan bubble. but oh my god get some original art instead of this AI SHIT🤤 god put some effort in?!?
People who have never been to SJ love to talk about the lack of cups. But it goes beyond that. The Sharks represent San Jose as an identity. Being FROM San Jose is what makes Sharks fans so dedicated to the club. We BLEED teal. Everybody here in San Jose reps teal. Even Latinos who have never seen a game of hockey rep the Sharks gear. I don’t care if they never win a cup because they’re MY team, and they always will be. To everybody else in the NHL, we might be a nobody tiny hockey market. But to San Jose, the Sharks are everything. Anyway, it’s not like we’re not familiar with winning. We have the Warriors, 49ers, and Giants. Our sports have more trophies/rings than most cities will ever see. Not to mention the sense of community, I met Joe Thornton at Chick Fil A and Patrick Marleau at the sharks pro shop while I was getting my skates sharpened. They are a part of the community.
Ai slop
While the script is somewhat amusing (more mean spirited ribbing more than anything) and probably also written by AI. The video itself is just low-effort AI slop.
Also! This video is like 4 or 5 years too late, too. Sharks have an exciting young core right now playing some very exciting hockey. Also, the #1 (sometimes #2 depending who you ask) ranked prospect pool in the NHL. There's a lot of hope amongst this fan base right now. If you're going to spend 15 minutes trashing the team, at least take 5 at the end to point out the positive direction the team is headed in.
Love the video
I've never been sad to be a sharks fan, even if we suck just watching a game brightens my day. In the playoffs if we lost, oh well good try boys. Let's be back next year. It was never hatred for players who slipped up, it was pride we made it that far.
Great, now do the Buffalo Sabres…
European fan here. Being loyal to your team despite hardship is what is expected. You might think otherwise if you are used to American sport entertainment were teams are made by money and can be sold any time. But the tradition and the fans are real. Let’s go, Sharks!
I remember I start watching Hockey in 2013 and I fell in love with the San Jose Sharks because of there uniforms and color scheme
My hometown team are cook 😔
4:41 we made it the the west finals
Win or Loss I’m a Sharks fan!🦈 wouldn’t want to be part of any other team 🩵 Go Sharks!
Could you do a video on Minnesota?
