San Jose Sharks

The week, game by game

Each game's fan misery, from first comment to the next game. ● marks a blowup.

• Thu, Oct 1W 4-3vs FLA1
• Sat, Oct 3W 5-4vs LAK20

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.

Game of the week: Sat, Oct 3, W 5-4 vs Los Angeles Kings

In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.

What happened

Two games, two wins, and a fanbase that had forgotten what this feels like. The opener against Florida, 4-3, was the hinge: Will Smith took first star and one fan swore that with him and Celebrini out there together "you KNEW something special was going to happen." Then 5-4 over the Kings, with Mack "already 5 points. 210 point pace." The arena was "tealed the fuck out," Green Day played after goals, and nobody mentioned the standings. A 2-0 week in San Jose. Let them have it.
