SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks have struggled with attendance at SAP Heart this season however have nonetheless performed six video games earlier than introduced crowds of 17,000 followers or extra.

The Sharks have now misplaced all six, with the newest coming in exasperating style.

Followers have been loud and energetic all through. However on this six-game shedding streak, which the Sharks will carry into Saturday’s residence sport in opposition to the Calgary Flames, they’ve held a third-period lead 5 occasions and have one level to point out for it.

“Extremely frustrating,” Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky mentioned. “I think our fans deserve a lot more than that.”

Friday’s crowd of 17,435, the Sharks’ fourth introduced sellout in 18 residence video games thus far this season, noticed the Sharks take a 3-2 lead into the third interval on targets by Shakir Mukhamadullin, Will Smith, and Tyler Toffoli.

However it all got here aside shortly after the Sharks (11-21-6) started an influence play early within the third interval.

After Friday, San Jose is now 0-5-1 in video games with an introduced crowd of 17,000 or extra.

One other large crowd could be available on Saturday. We’ll see how the Sharks reply. Up to now, it’s been fairly dismal.

“We want to be better for the crowd,” Smith mentioned. “When this building’s packed, it’s pretty loud. We want to make sure we go out there before and perform for them. We want them to come watch our games. We want to get a W there in the third, and we’ve got to be better for them.”

The Sharks are utilizing the slogan ‘The Future is Teal’ this season. Proper now, followers should take the Thirty first-place Sharks at their phrase.

“We should be winning these hockey games,” Warsofsky mentioned. “We have leads. When we play together, when we play the right way with our structure and with our effort, I think we put teams on their heels, and when we have, we play some pretty good hockey.

“But again, we don’t do it consistently enough, and we’re going to keep getting this result until we do it.”

Not solely did the Sharks’ energy play personnel permit two targets, nevertheless it additionally went 0-for-3 with the person benefit, producing 4 pictures on aim.

“This can’t happen,” Wennberg mentioned of the obtrusive energy play points. “Right now, in this stretch here, we’ve been having the lead and just finding ways to lose games. We had a little break here, but it’s the same story.”

“We’ve got to learn from this, and I think it’s got to come from within the room,” Warsofsky mentioned. “We have to understand and learn what it takes to win in this league, and we don’t know what it takes to win.”

Warsofsky once more tweaked his ahead traces with William Eklund injured and unavailable, and had Smith play with Macklin Celebrini and Fabian Zetterlund. The trio was thrilling to look at, particularly within the first two durations.

On Smith’s aim on the 5:53 mark of the second interval, Celebrini created a turnover within the impartial zone.

Nonetheless, it continues to be a studying course of for all the Sharks’ youthful gamers and for some who will not be so younger.

And It needs to start now. It can’t start in two or three years. It needs to start now.

“That is a message with our group, with our younger players, with our older players, the winning foundational habits that you need to play with in this league to win. It’s pretty simple and pretty direct. And if we don’t do that, this is going to be a long process, and we don’t want it to be a long process.”
