San Jose Sharks podcast with Len Shapiro: Sharks remain winless, can’t score on Predators in third period

sfgate.com photo: The Sharks tied their worst start to a season in franchise history, equaling their opening rut in the 1993-94 season, the club is now 0-4.

On the SJ Sharks podcast with Len Shapiro:

#1 Another tough loss for the Sharks as they remain winless at 0-4. The losses are mounting and the offseason departures of Joe Pavelski, Joonas Donskoi, Justin Braun, and Gustav Nyquist — all of whom are severely missed.

#2 The Sharks and Nashville Predators on Tuesday night played a mostly tight game with the Preds ahead 2-1 going into the third period. It was the third period when the Predators broke it open with three goals in the third period to end any chance for a San Jose comeback.

#3 Let’s talk about the dressing room — the morale of the team they opened up the season on the road in Vegas and lost, lost to Vegas in San Jose last Friday night and then lost two games on this current three-game road trip. Talking with the players at the morning skate and after games, the morale has to be pretty low right now.

#4 The second period of the game in Nashville, the Sharks were able to kill off two out of three penalties and outshoot the Predators 18-7, but just couldn’t find the back of the net.

#5 The Sharks head to Chicago to face the Blackhawks. The Hawks have suffered of late winning only two of their last seven games. This might be the Sharks’ best chance to get in the win column for their first win of the year.

On the Sharks podcast with Len:

#1 The Sharks are coming off an off season where they saw three key players leave — Joe Pavelski, Justin Braun, and Joonas Donskoi. By seeing those three leave, can the Sharks fill their voids?

#2 How optimistic, how positive has this dressing room been coming into camp and preseason and who are some of the players that you are looking forward to seeing that will make things happen?

#3 There has been talk about the Tomas Hertl and Evander Kane, two hard working players that might end up being one of the top lines on the team.

#4 The Sharks lost four of five of their preseason games. Does that hold any significance going into Wednesday night’s opener in Vegas?

#5 Talk about the opener, the Knights have been built to be one of the NHL’s most competitive teams and even gave the Sharks fits in the preseason.
