☀️ Good morning and welcome back to The Nosebleeds.

 🔙 We are back, and better than ever.

🦈 The worst team… ever?

The San Jose Sharks may be off to the worst start in NHL history.

San Jose is 1-10-1 heading into a Thursday night matchup against the 2-8-1 Edmonton Oilers (good Stanley Cup pick, idiot). But it’s not just that the Sharks have a really bad record—they are getting bulldozed by the rest of the NHL. The Sharks have scored a measly 14 goals through 12 games (only one ahead of Auston Matthews himself), and have allowed 56 goals as well. A -42 goal differential. In 12 games. They’re damn near losing by four goals a game!

Even in their lone win, a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday, the Sharks were saved by their goaltending as they were outshot 39-19… and the Flyers aren’t even good. San Jose certainly didn’t deserve to win that hockey game.

According to MoneyPuck.com, the Sharks boast an xG% slightly above 39% at even strength—by far the worst in the league. But what is their actual GF% at even strength? 15.91%.

So yes, the San Jose Sharks are the worst team in the NHL. But are they as bad as the box score tells us and the worst NHL team of all-time? I don’t think so.

🤔 NHL Trivia

That brings us to today’s trivia!

💰️ NHL Team Valuations

Sportico’s NHL valuations were released this week, and the Toronto Maple Leafs are the most valuable team in hockey at $2.65B.

Team valuations are always interesting when compared within leagues, but they are quite interesting when compared to other leagues as well.

Couple takeaways here:

• 👑 NFL is king.

• 🟰 aside from the big 5 MLB teams, NHL and MLB valuations are very similar.

• 😭 my lifelong dream of one day owning the Winnipeg Jets is becoming less of a reality everyday.
