Last year was rock bottom for the San Jose Sharks.
They started off the 2023-24 season with an 0-10-1 record.
They didn’t pick up a win until November 4th of that year.
We’re talking about a glorified ECHL team here, folks.
But big things were on the horizon for the Sharks.
They brought in Macklin Celebrini with the 1st overall pick in the 2024 Draft.
They signed Will Smith to his ELC and had him leave Boston College after his freshman season.
Where did we say was the only direction you could go after hitting rock bottom?
After an 0-7-2 start to the season, do you believe in Miracles?
Because it was a Miracle in Utah last night, baby!
You’ll be telling your grandchildren about that Wennberg goal one day.
I’m sure Disney is already working on acquiring the rights to make a movie.
Maybe next year they’ll pick up their first win 7 games into the season.
The year after that, game #5 is when they can finally lock up a dub.
That’s what we call mission complete.
If we’re being honest, though, last night’s win was pretty miraculous.
The game was 4-1 Utah with 5 minutes to play in the 3rd period.
It was desperation time for the Sharks, so they pulled the goalie with 5 minutes to go.
A move that would make even Patrick Roy blush.
And with 4:32 left in regulation, Fabian Zetterlund scored his 2nd goal of the night.
Less than 30 seconds later, Mikael Granlund made it a 1-goal game.
Almost the exact same play.
Win an offensive zone faceoff, put pucks on net, good things happen.
Brutal 3rd period faceoffs for Utah.
Hate to see it.
You need guys like Toffoli to teach him along the way.
So do you believe in Miracles?
Because I sure as heck do.
