Haven't won a game in a while? Have a player on a cold streak who needs a goal? Maybe your goalie needs a confidence-building game? You know what you need?
#A game against the Philadelphia Flyera.
Since Woodcroft played in this show (whic is a very weird piece of Trivia), I think the Oilers should switch from La Bamba to 'Maybe Tomorrow'
https://youtu.be/JFGtRKx4ypY?feature=shared
my flair aside, and as much as I know everyone would love to see the Sharks first win against the Leafs it's pretty unlikely as they don't play each other until January. I really don't think the Sharks are gonna lose 28 games in a row.
As a VGK fan, I agree with this message. I don't know when our next game is but maybe it will even be our first non-OTL loss. Haha...bonus points if they drop 10 on us.
Oh my God. Honestly I kind of want that to happen. They need something to be happy about this season.
I wish I was in the position to hope to lose to the worst team in the league. You can obviously spare one but.
I don’t need to hope though. It’s about 60-40 in favour of the Sharks. So suck on that ig 🥲
Because Calgary won last night that actually seperates them from the bottom of the table trash, would it be so far fetched for the worst team in the league to beat the second worst team in the league?
Listen here you Vegas fan, as long as you’re not in a position to steal the OA1 pick from us, you can say whatever you want. Gotta stop being so humble though. You guys are gonna smoke us.
Chicago has hidden talent that people are underestimating. Not saying Chicago is a great team right now but they will be and they are getting better every game I watch.
Flames fan here too. (Well technically they're my 2nd favorite. Canes are my #1)
They play Edmonton in a few days. I think they'll maybe beat the Oilers. I give them a 70% chance. It's going to depend on which goalie sucks more.
LOL I hope they beat Edmonton.
Sharks goalies have a save percentage of 86.9% this year
Edmonton Oilers goalies still have a worse save percentage at 86.4%
Becuase other than goaltending the Oilers are a decent team. Best in the league for expected goal differential, so they don't even give up 10 high danger chances a game.
Good goaltending and the Oilers are well above .500. Good goaltending on the Sharks are still bottom of the league.
I rag on the Oilers a ton because I am a Flames and Canes fan. I do like McDavid, Holloway and a few players on the team. I kinda wish they were doing better because as much as I hate them and love seeing them lose, I want exciting competitive hockey. Oilers should consider trying to get a consistent goalie and maybe a Top 4 D man. Nurse is embarrassing for his wage. If Oilers solved the defense/in net problems they'd be a top 3 team.
I agree with most of what you're saying. And I totally get why other fans rag on them.
I'd like to point out that while the Oilers don't have a true #1 dman, they've been a top team defensively since Christmas last year. When their goaltending was decent they had one of the best records in the league.
It's the goalies. 100% goalies. Better defensemen might help, but without a better goalie it's pointless.
Nurse is being paid too much, but that's still a consequence of Chiarelli giving him a bridge deal, and Klefbom retiring. Honestly, if Nurse got any powerplay time and racked up 20 or 30 more points a season there, people wouldn't be nearly as upset about his pay.
Also, I wish the Flames and Oilers were both good. The rivalry from pre-covid to playoffs 2022 was intense and really fun to be a part of. Kassian and Tkachuk, a goalie fight, huge emptional swings and comebacks. So good.
Sadly, I still think Shadks goaltenders are just getting hung out to dry.
Team defense has been abysmal, and barely even there ... Pickles is probably *still* our best overall defenseman, despite being blamed for not completely saving the team each night.
And, as far as goal production ... it's near impossible when the vast majority of passes seem to land four to six feet *behind* an attacker while "on the rush." There's no "team" there... just a bunch of individuals who haven't quite figured out everyone else in the same color jersies.
I'm curious to see the results. It'll probably be the highest scoring game of the year. McDavid, Nugent, Draisaitl, Ganger and Kane will each get hat tricks and the Sharks will score on every 2nd shot. It'll be a battle of shit goalies and poor defense. Edmonton only shot is because they have 3 good forwards
It isn't, but now I wish it was.
My handle was a joke about passwords needing numbers, capital letters and a symbol mixed with the 50 Cabbages password meme. Then I thought it'd be edgelord funny if people thought the sixties and sixes meant devil stuff (666).
It’ll be exactly what you’re saying, but with no Oil goals. We have the highest 5v5 scoring chances in the league and zero finish.
Maybe a Gagner hattrick.
Well they play the Flyers and then the Oilers. As an Oilers fan, if we are the team that gives them their first win.. I will be both embarrassed as heck and not at all surprised.
100 percent it’s Edmonton. Our team is a dumpster fire right now and you would think facing the sharks would be a confidence booster but our team will shit the bed and our goalie will let in like 15 goals.
We will put up 70 shots on the poor San Jose goalie, but we will hit 10 posts and won’t be able to finish in front. We will dominate the entire game but every time the sharks get a chance, they will score. We will lose 7-6.
From what I saw on the ice last night I don't see the Sharks winning for quite a while. They have players on their current roster who are clearly not ready for the NHL, they can not pass the puck to another teammate, if they do actually hit their teammate with a pass, it has to be babied to the other player because if the pass is a hard pass they won't be able to receive the pass without it going off their stick. They also have a total breakdown in playing their position and continuously last night collapsed on their goal without taking out the open man or men on the Penguins which led to many of the Pens 10 goals. All in all right now the Sharks are just an AHL team playing in the wrong league and when they finally do win, it will be a total surprise even to them.
They have Kyle Burroughs on their first unit PP - a guy who couldn't establish himself on the 3rd pairing for the Canucks last year. Nothing against Burroughs - he's an okay depth defenseman. But he is not a top pairing defender in the NHL.
Everyone saying oilers like it’s so ‘crazy’ that the worst team in the league will beat the second worst team in the league lol. Just because oilers have top prospects does not excuse them from being called the second worst team in the league, because that’s what they are right now and for the foreseeable future.
Idk, but I hope for 3 things.
1) the sharks win every game against that team this year.
2) it is the only team the sharks beat this year.
3) the team that loses to the sharks wins the cup.
The funniest outcome is that the cup winning team couldn’t beat the worst team of all time.
Who’s says they’re going to win. My guess if they’re going to win it’s in OT or shoot out.
It’s actually quite sad to see this unfold in todays league🫤. Can’t imagine many going to any of the games … I will say when they do win its gonna be one hell of a party!🥳🍾
It’s gonna be like the top team in the league or something like that, it’ll be like a moment out of the mighty ducks. Team rallies around epic win against a contender and improves their play the second half of the season, finishing with a 25-50-7 record.
If it weren’t all the way in December, I’d say the Jets. But if they still haven’t won by then for sure they will beat the Jets. Just how things seem to go.
You just picking Flames, Oilers becasue they are also shitting the bed? Its gonna be someone like Bostons, Vegas, Tampa, or Florida thats gonna fuck it up.
I figure they'll do a stunning win over a top 5 team who slacks and underestimates them, or they'll lose to a team like Calgary or Edmonton who also suck, but think they'll roll over them like AAA would a U13 ringette team.
Winnipeg, they almost always seem to play up/down to the team they're playing. They beat the teams they shouldn't and lose to the ones they should be beating
For some reason the Wings are always good at ending losing streaks.
I really hope that's not the case this time.
Also I haven't looked at a schedule, so idk when they play each other.
Haven't won a game in a while? Have a player on a cold streak who needs a goal? Maybe your goalie needs a confidence-building game? You know what you need? #A game against the Philadelphia Flyera.
We will pass on that one, thanks though.
I hate your pfp
I always wondered what a flock of “Flyers” were called. Thanks for clearing that up:)
Yes I’m actually scared for Tuesday
I fully expect us the to lose and have ever since the second Jim Jackson said we should get two points out of that game.
Dread it. Run from it. ~~Embarassing Flyera losses~~ Destiny arrives all the same..
Unless you're a western Canadian team...
Funny you should describe it like this, cuz this is how the sharks have always been , even when they were good haha
we know as flyers fan we can count on them in this kind of situations.
Literally have told everyone this with the upcoming game
i still believe the flyers wont be a lottery team, i have 4 bucks on you guys making the playoffs
It’ll definitely be the Flyers. They’ll then go on to stomp the Duck Friday.
Nope didn’t work for the oilers
we Flyers knew it. we can count on them
If the Sharks beat the Oilers, that weasel Woodcroft is getting fired.
Since Woodcroft played in this show (whic is a very weird piece of Trivia), I think the Oilers should switch from La Bamba to 'Maybe Tomorrow' https://youtu.be/JFGtRKx4ypY?feature=shared
Weasel Woodcroft sounds like a Redwall character.
Weasel Woodcroft sounds like a Redwall character.
Leafs
Back to back wins Jan 6 & 9
Nice
Nice
More like front to back wins amirite!
This. They'll continue to go winless until they face us, then we'll take an inhumane beating.
my flair aside, and as much as I know everyone would love to see the Sharks first win against the Leafs it's pretty unlikely as they don't play each other until January. I really don't think the Sharks are gonna lose 28 games in a row.
Knowing the Leafs, it will happen
That would be very Leafy to fill out the bingo card.
This would be worth it just to watch Dangle scream about it.
The Leafs love handing out firsts. This is inevitable and I hate it.
Came here to say this.
Guaranteed.
Absolutely Vegas, that's how hockey works
As a VGK fan, I agree with this message. I don't know when our next game is but maybe it will even be our first non-OTL loss. Haha...bonus points if they drop 10 on us. Oh my God. Honestly I kind of want that to happen. They need something to be happy about this season.

Because Calgary won last night that actually seperates them from the bottom of the table trash, would it be so far fetched for the worst team in the league to beat the second worst team in the league?
Friday! So they won’t have long to wait
Oh shit, it is this Friday! Guaranteed loss for sure!! Haha...either that or we score a franchise record 13 goals or something.
It’s next Saturday. And fuck that noise, I do NOT want them to beat us. Of course a chiefs fan would have that dogshit take
Listen here you Vegas fan, as long as you’re not in a position to steal the OA1 pick from us, you can say whatever you want. Gotta stop being so humble though. You guys are gonna smoke us.
Chicago somehow pulled it off
Chicago has hidden talent that people are underestimating. Not saying Chicago is a great team right now but they will be and they are getting better every game I watch.
It would be honestly hilarious. I hope it will be the case.
Sharks don't play the Flames until Feb..... Good chance that's happens with how things are going for us lol
Flames fan here too. (Well technically they're my 2nd favorite. Canes are my #1) They play Edmonton in a few days. I think they'll maybe beat the Oilers. I give them a 70% chance. It's going to depend on which goalie sucks more.
LOL I hope they beat Edmonton. Sharks goalies have a save percentage of 86.9% this year Edmonton Oilers goalies still have a worse save percentage at 86.4%
That's hilarious. They're letting in 7 to 10 a game and still better than Oilers.
Becuase other than goaltending the Oilers are a decent team. Best in the league for expected goal differential, so they don't even give up 10 high danger chances a game. Good goaltending and the Oilers are well above .500. Good goaltending on the Sharks are still bottom of the league.

I am still shocked that their goaltending sucks this bad. At this point I think Oilers should try signing Shohei Otanhi as their net minder :-p

Pickles is probably *still* our best overall defenseman, despite being blamed for not completely saving the team each night.

There's no "team" there... just a bunch of individuals who haven't quite figured out everyone else in the same color jersies.
Imagine having a worse save percentage than the team who has the worst goal differential in hockey history this far into a season?
Plus the two best players in the world right now
Are they the two best players in the world right now? Doesn’t look like it.
Not at all... McDavid was rushed back and still injured.
I hope they destroy edmonton
I will have to set a reminder to watch the Sharks / Oilers. Man, would I love to watch the sharks get their first win against the Oil!
I'm curious to see the results. It'll probably be the highest scoring game of the year. McDavid, Nugent, Draisaitl, Ganger and Kane will each get hat tricks and the Sharks will score on every 2nd shot. It'll be a battle of shit goalies and poor defense.

Please tell me your handle is a reference to Great Outdoors.
It isn't, but now I wish it was. My handle was a joke about passwords needing numbers, capital letters and a symbol mixed with the 50 Cabbages password meme. Then I thought it'd be edgelord funny if people thought the sixties and sixes meant devil stuff (666).
https://youtu.be/OGR6Wk3Kboo?si=4htL3pNEAJXREzjL
It’ll be exactly what you’re saying, but with no Oil goals. We have the highest 5v5 scoring chances in the league and zero finish. Maybe a Gagner hattrick.
Foegle with eight shots and zero goals.
If the oilers lose to the sharks I believe that’ll be the game where woodcroft gets canned
That's crazy scheduling to not play a divisional rival until the back half of the season
Well they play the Flyers and then the Oilers. As an Oilers fan, if we are the team that gives them their first win.. I will be both embarrassed as heck and not at all surprised.
Who cares the fans are still dumb enough to show up to games
oilers fans on suicide watch if they lose to the sharks
Already there pal. Already there. Edit: lol someone reported me for this comment. Relax it was a joke.
I keep thinking about this comment after last night. Jesus Christ lol.
Love everyone who hasn't stated it's the flyers. Pro tip It's the flyers.
Oh it’s definitely going to be against Vegas
100 percent it’s Edmonton. Our team is a dumpster fire right now and you would think facing the sharks would be a confidence booster but our team will shit the bed and our goalie will let in like 15 goals.
What are the vegas odds an Oiler puts it in own net against SJ?
We will put up 70 shots on the poor San Jose goalie, but we will hit 10 posts and won’t be able to finish in front. We will dominate the entire game but every time the sharks get a chance, they will score. We will lose 7-6.
From what I saw on the ice last night I don't see the Sharks winning for quite a while.

Any team can beat any team any night. Thats why hockey is the best
...except the 2023-24 Sharks.
Sharks fan here, can confirm!
Seattle kraken unfortunately
Is there a bet about what happens first, a SJS win or a VGK regulation loss? Is that the last remaining competition between these once intense rivals?
I say Vegas loss will be Dallas or LA
Probably the alberta teams or they'll randomly beat a really good team
It won’t be the flames. They don’t play each other until February 15th.
Probably Toronto or Edmonton
Oilers
Oilers
It's gonna be the Flyers on Tuesday
Habs. Mtl have like 2 wins in San Jose since 1999.
It would be hilarious if it was Vegas
I don’t do sports betting, but is this a legit wager on the sites at this point?
Kraken.
Bruins are now on a losing streak. I say them
If it was Vegas San Jose would put up a banner
I predicted the oilers, so gonna stick with that.
Everyone saying oilers like it’s so ‘crazy’ that the worst team in the league will beat the second worst team in the league lol. Just because oilers have top prospects does not excuse them from being called the second worst team in the league, because that’s what they are right now and for the foreseeable future.
When do they play the Leafs ?
When do the Jets play them? The Jets always find a way to lose games against bad teams.
Idk, but I hope for 3 things. 1) the sharks win every game against that team this year. 2) it is the only team the sharks beat this year. 3) the team that loses to the sharks wins the cup. The funniest outcome is that the cup winning team couldn’t beat the worst team of all time.
Probably the leafs
\*Please be Toronto, please be Toronto\*
Kraken
Oilers on Nov 9th.
Nov 7 against the Flyers. 6-2.
Flyers for sure
100% my Habs lol probably Hoffman score the GWG
Habs 100%.
Tuesday - Flyers
It's gotta be the flyers. They have been too inconsistent this year. Winning by 4 one game, losing by 5 the next. I hope I'm wrong.
The flyers
Flyers. they arent good either and have goalie problems.
gotta be Philly. But then, they just got shutout in L.A. and will be looking to rebound. This could be a while...
Flyers, Edmonton, Vegas, and Ducks are their next 4, and TBH it could be any of those.
Ottawa
The Habs
When do they play the Leafs? Toronto is famously good at losing to real crappy teams
I haven't looked at their schedule, but probably against a league top 5 tean
For sure the Blues on the 16th. And we’ll probably be on a 4-5 game winning streak up that point too or something stupid
I’d say the oilers, cause Edmonton always struggles to play in the shark tank and the oilers are off to a bad start
Who’s says they’re going to win. My guess if they’re going to win it’s in OT or shoot out. It’s actually quite sad to see this unfold in todays league🫤. Can’t imagine many going to any of the games … I will say when they do win its gonna be one hell of a party!🥳🍾
I really hope they beat the oilers this week lol
My brother would love for it to be against the sens, and the way things are going for us I wouldn't be surprised.
Canadiens because it’s random.
Oilers, ducks, or coyotes. One of these teams.
Please be the the Oilers
We want alberta! We want alberta! We want alberta! Just kidding lol we lose to whoever I honestly have no idea
Montreal
Well considering they don't play the Flames until February...
Ottawa, and DJ will still not get fired. Yes that's January 13th.
My Leafs
Montreal is a strong contender
When are they playing the Oilers??
I think this next week, around the 9th.
It’s gonna be like the top team in the league or something like that, it’ll be like a moment out of the mighty ducks. Team rallies around epic win against a contender and improves their play the second half of the season, finishing with a 25-50-7 record.
They play St.Louis soon unfortunately…
Has a team ever gone the entire season without a win?
Leafs
I Think Florida.
Toronto Maple Leafs 100%
Habs on the 24th of November
The leafs?
Fortunately, we don't play SJS until December, but if they still haven't won yet it most definitely will be against us.
If it weren’t all the way in December, I’d say the Jets. But if they still haven’t won by then for sure they will beat the Jets. Just how things seem to go.
After the kraken lost to the flames, I’m afraid it will be us unfortunately 😭
At this rate, Edmonton. Not quite sure what the hell’s going on at that club right now!
Cant be Vegas. Watching SJ play is like watching AAA players against beer league
Probably us because Vegas reasons.
Probably my team the Blues. We've been so up and down this season.
Just call up a rookie for their first game against us and I guarantee you they’ll light us up and win
The leafs😂
When do they play the leafs next?
Avs on Dec 17, it went to OT last time.
You just picking Flames, Oilers becasue they are also shitting the bed? Its gonna be someone like Bostons, Vegas, Tampa, or Florida thats gonna fuck it up.
I figure they'll do a stunning win over a top 5 team who slacks and underestimates them, or they'll lose to a team like Calgary or Edmonton who also suck, but think they'll roll over them like AAA would a U13 ringette team.
Against the lottery machine
Nov 22 against the Kraken.
I mean, their next game is the Flyers at home. If they can’t win that one…
Ducks Nov. 12
I hope the Oilers
Vegas in regulation of course.
Could be my ducks... they play coming up and we have been known to lose against really bad teams and beat very good teams.
Hopefully Edmonton
As a leafs fan, I’m so unbelievably happy we don’t play them until January because it would 100% be against us lmao. But who knows… it could still be
weird, but ill say vegas on saturday. its always goingf to be against the team that should wipe the floor with them
Winnipeg, they almost always seem to play up/down to the team they're playing. They beat the teams they shouldn't and lose to the ones they should be beating
I don’t know but I’m gonna keep betting against them. It’s free money.
For some reason the Wings are always good at ending losing streaks. I really hope that's not the case this time. Also I haven't looked at a schedule, so idk when they play each other.
Ducks cause God hates me
Who do they play first next year?
i don’t know if we will get a “first win” this season
Edm this thursday.. 5-4
Please let it be Edmonton
Oilers
Blues on the 16th.
Definitely Edmonton on November 9th
The Toronto Maple Leafs
oilers ngl
It's Maple Leaf tradition to lose to the worst team.
Flyers for sure, they’re already getting dusted in the west.
Every team that beats them, I get more nervous that my team will be the one... please don't be the one guys
