Honestly, I don’t want to pile on to the misery of San Jose Sharks fans. Really, I don’t, but when a team starts 0-10-1, you have to mention it. It’s not just the losing streak, it’s how anemic their offense has been during the stretch. Over the 11 games they played they’ve posted a Goals For Percentage of just 14.29% at 5v5. And it’s not getting better considering they were outscored 14-0 at 5v5 in their last two games. That’s not great. They are likely to end up with the worst season in their history.
That got me to wondering about some of the slow starts in Tampa Bay Lightning history.
