The Sharks’ godawful start to the season somehow got even worse Thursday night with a 10–1 loss to the visiting Canucks.
San Jose allowed three goals in the first eight minutes and never got back into the game. Through two periods, Vancouver was up 8–0 and held a 25–13 advantage in shots. The Sharks’ lone goal came on a power play in the closing minutes of the third period. Only a fraction of the announced crowd of 10,719 at the Shark Tank remained in their seats.
The blowout led to an incredibly sad tweet from San Jose’s social media team.
