The San Jose Sharks have been a franchise of almosts and close calls. For years, they have fallen just short of reaching the top of the NHL mountain and the 2010s were no different.
With the exception of the 2014-15 season, the Sharks made the playoffs every single year of the decade but never once could they win hockey’s ultimate prize, the Stanley Cup.
They did manage to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals in one season, but of course, their bid for greatness fell short at the hands of a dominant Pittsburgh Penguins team.
