Jeremy Roenick blasts the struggling San Jose Sharks on Twitter

Jeremy Roenick blasts the struggling San Jose Sharks on Twitter

Flash back one week ago in San Jose. Everything was roses.

The captain-less Sharks were 4-0-1, including an season-opening win against the Los Angeles Kings. Everyone had supposedly bought into this new approach of stripping Joe Thornton of his 'C' and giving out three 'A's instead.

There is joy no more in San Jose. Three losses in a row was harsh. But getting beat 2-1 by hapless Buffalo at home Saturday? That's a real 'D'Oh' moment.

And even a former Shark ripped into his old team. NHL on NBC commentator Jeremy Roenick tweeted out some harshness towards San Jose. Behold...

Remember there's some history (and dislike) between Roenick and Sharks, um, alternate captain Partrick Marleau. But Roenick does have a point. When you lose to Buffalo at home, even this early, it's a warning sign.

And the Sharks scribes agree. Below is the lead from CSN Bay Area's game story:

"There are losses that sting, such as the Sharks’ falling on a last-second goal to Columbus on Thursday, and then there are losses that are categorically embarrassing.

It was the latter for the Sharks on Saturday afternoon at SAP Center."

Everything is happening!

Let's all calm down for a second here. It's nine games into the season. This is a team that is loaded with talent and a group that has righted quite a few ships in the past.

But after last postseason's epic collapse against the Kings, and a game Sunday at red hot Anaheim to kick off a three-game roadtrip ... could disaster be afoot? Maybe.
