Damn… and I thought I was a die hard fan. This dude is a sharks almanac

[@jamestiscareno4387]

No shit. Me, I can barely remember what I did yesterday.

[@mayhemjr.803]

Not really. He never brought up Garpenlov

Thinking of having Connor McDavid in 2015-2016 just makes me all tingly.

Nice post, albeit a little depressing. The one that still haunts me is Johan Garpenlov hitting the post in game 6 overtime against the Leafs, which would have advanced us to the next round in those magical playoffs, gosh 30 years ago.

[@mayhemjr.803]

I just said this. You and I must be the only original Sharks fans here.😄

[@tballgame43]

Yes! I was a kid in Canada listening on the radio. The only sharks fan in Canada at the time probably

[@jamestiscareno4387]

Conner McDavid would look so damn good in a Sharks uniform.

[@mayhemjr.803]

How can anyone forget 1994 playoffs game 6 in Toronto 's famed Maple Leaf Gardens. Sharks lead the series 3-2. In overtime forward Johann Garpenlov hits the CROSSBAR and unfortunately Mike Gartner shortly thereafter wins it for Toronto and they take game 7 as well . On the heels of beating Detroit AND possibly Toronto in the same playoffs the same year?....it would've been UNBELIEVABLE!.... DAMN YOU FELIX POTVIN!!!!...I can't believe Brodie never brought this up.

[@THeELITEisTHESHIT]

Man, I forgot about that ray ratto incident.

A view from this charter season ticketholder: I've never felt we were screwed out of the #1 pick in 1991 (Eric Lindros): The Gunds wanted to enter the league a year earlier than the next two expansion teams (the Ottawa Senators and Tampa Bay Lightning), but the league and the other teams didn't think it made sense to grant the Sharks the #1 overall pick -- who was projected to be a once-in-a-decade player -- in the middle of the 1990-91 season, which I completely understand. That could have resulted in multiple lawsuits and sullied both the 1991 and 1992 expansions. Granting the Sharks the #2 overall pick made sense at the time, and I don't have a beef with that decision. In the end, neither Eric Lindros nor #2 pick Pat Falloon really lived up to his lofty draft day expectations. And the Quebec Nordiques/Colorado Avalanche only became a strong team (and Stanley Cup Winner) by Lindros refusing to report, forcing Colorado to eventually trade him (to the Flayers...and also the Rangers, infamously) for players and draft pics that yielded a bonanza of Peter Forsberg, Mike Ricci, Patrick Roy, Mike Keane, Steve Duchesne, Claude Lemieux, Chris Simon, Adam Deadmarsh, and several others. The Sharks likely would have been able to sign Lindros and kept him, making him the face of the franchise as they tried to do with Pat Falloon. He would have been a significantly bigger draw than Falloon but, if memory serves me correctly, the Sharks really didn't have a problem selling out the Cow Palace and then The Tank in those early years. The Sharks could have sold even more merchandise in their initial years, but I don't think we would have performed a whole lot better on the ice unless either Lindros had either refused to sign with us as well or we decided to trade the #1 overall pick anyway, which would have been very alienating to us fans before the team even stepped on the ice for the first time.

Big difference between Lindros and faloon,,falloon was practically a bust,Lindros made the hof,,

[@JHockeyFan]

Lindros only didn't live up to expectations because he had two super concussions and nearly died from internal bleeding during his prime

[@Falconforge89]

2008-2009 losing to the ducks in the first round as the presidents trophy winner was a bad one

[@CynFtWProductions]

Well this just made me sad 😂 maybe we’ll strike gold with Bedard

[@bhnddamask]

What if…… Johan Garpwnlov scores a goal in overtime vs the Toronto Maple Leafs in game 6. They go on to play the Canucks, a team who they had the upper hand on during the regular season and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals as an 8 seed What if the Sharks were able to hold on to Ed Belfour and he never ended up on the stars and “Public Enemy #1” in sharks fans eyes. Would the Dallas stars be as dominant, would the tide shifted in the sharks favor? What if in the 2005/2006 playoffs the sharks score a goal in game 3 overtime to go up 3-0 on the oilers and eventually win the series…. The ducks are next who they have handled easily in the regular season and then they play in the finals against Carolina. What if the sharks never acquired joe Thornton, does that 2005 season end the team in the bottom…. What if the Red Wings were never in the western conference….

Oh please 1993 entry Draft just, don't trade anyone, and Draft Chris Pronger , now 1991 instead of Pat Falloon you Draft Scott Niedermayer, What if Grillo was never around What Ray Whitney turns out to be the Player he became as a Shark , What if Irbe didn't become the Head case he became Here is one the Drew Remenda will flip over ,No Grillo you give Kingston the 93,94 team he deserved

[@mayhemjr.803]

What if we never traded Jeff Friesen and he wins a cup with us, instead of with New Jersey?

[@alfredoescalante7418]

@@mayhemjr.803 First, he was traded to the Ducks for Teemu Selanne , the Duck traded him to the Devils Second Freisen to the Ducks for Selanne , you make that trade always
