SJ Sharks on Fire - Where's WTCG?

Through three games, they've outscored opponents 17-4 and outshot them 133-65, and there was an amazing goal in last night's game by a 19 year old rookie:

Amazingly, the Sharks are tearing it up (admittedly it is early), but resident grouch/malcontent and supposed Sharks 'fan' WTCG is nowhere to be found.

    I watched almost all of that game. Tomas Hertl played great and his fourth goal was amazing but let's get real here...

    It was the third game of the season. They've played three average to bad teams. The Canucks, Coyotes and Rangers aren't exactly cup contenders.

    Don't let the stats fool you. They take more shots on goal than most teams but score in bunches. Invariably they'll go through a stretch in the middle of the season where they'd be hard pressed to score more than one goal against a bad defensive team despite taking 40+ shots on goal.

    They have made the playoffs every year in the last decade except one. They have started strong virtually every single year only to completely fade in the end. They started last season 7-0. They reach the playoffs every year only to hit that same wall at almost the exact same spot every single year. They even won the Presidents Cup several years ago only to get bounced out in the 1st round by the lowest seeded team in six games.

    We've been here every single year since the 90's. Nothing new here. They've been down this road and every fan knows it. It's all about the playoffs and getting past that same place they've faceplanted on every single year since the last century.

    Sharks are basically the NHL version of the Altanta Braves (except the Braves have actually won it all once)...A good regular season team and playoffs every year only to disappoint at the end. Unless the Sharks play a season that proves otherwise, they are exactly that...a good but ultimately underachieving team.
