New York Islanders vs. San Jose Sharks: Here be minnows [Game 3 thread]

Are the Sharks really this bad? How are they this bad?

We’ll find out tonight, when the winless squad from San Jose visits the 1-1 squad on Long Island.

The early days of the season are great fun for fans of Overreaction Theatre (See: Ontario, and for the opposite end: Texas), but the Sharks were expected to be (shark)tank-tastic, so one can only oversell their 0-4 start so much. But if the 50/50 Islanders are their first victims? The sky will fall.

It’s odd to see the Sharks doing so poorly even after they rid themselves of their worst facial hair offenders — a step known ‘round these parts as a critical ingredient to team success.
