David Quinn after 6-3 loss to Carolina Hurricanes: “We’ve just got to be harder to play against and tonight wasn’t good enough. Way too soft and way too slow.”
San Jose Sharks goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood and San Jose Sharks’ Mario Ferraro skate off the ice following their 6-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023. SAN JOSE – David Quinn and the San Jose Sharks know they need to be a much harder team to play against this season to have any chance of improving over last year.
A one-goal Sharks lead with 11 minutes left in the third period turned into a three-goal deficit in a matter of six minutes thanks to two penalties and an unwillingness to skate and engage. As a result, the Sharks fell to 0-2-1 with the Boston Bruins coming to San Jose on Thursday. Carolina Hurricanes’ Martin Necas and Carolina Hurricanes’ Brent Burns celebrate a goal by Carolina Hurricanes’ Seth Jarvis against the San Jose Sharks in the third period at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023.
The final 15 minutes of the third period were reminiscent of last season. On their way to a 22-44-16 record, the Sharks were outscored 116-75 in the third period, although they also gave up 19 empty-net goals. The Sharks for the night were called for cross-checking three times, hooking twice and tripping once.
After being outshot 52-21 by Colorado, the Sharks were outshot 42-16 by the Hurricanes. But regardless of the opponent, the Sharks will never be able to get out of their own way until they play with pace and move their feet.
