Misa am liking that, seeing the new ๐ฆ providing a future for us hockey fans
Hope Mis plays this year. Gotta get his jersey.
Remember when the AVs were dead last, got McKinnon and Mckar, then won the cup. Yah, that plan
RF Will!!!!!!!!!!
I am from The Philippines and I'm so thrilled for the upcoming season
Brodie, thanks for this. I'm a new hocky & Sharks fan after being a baseball/A's fan all my life. I'm excited to have a team to root for that's actually invested in staying in the Bay Area.
Get mcdavid on the shark and weโre set! ๐
can't rush the rebuild. only 2 years to go before playoff contenders for 10+ years.
RF Will the goat! Love seeing the crossover with the Sharks and (ex) A's fanbase
Yeah not really. We got practically no Ds. And for years we have no dawg mentality from almost everyone. So no I got to see big results
So no more 50 loss seasons
Glad they found some new blood to interview for this. I remember optimism. Will be nice to see my sharkies in the playoffs in the next 5 years.
