. And while the offense featured five 20 goal scorers (Tardif with 40, Gary Veneruzzo
with 39, Brian McDonald
with 22, and J.P. LeBlanc and Steve Sutherland
with 20 apiece), they still ranked last in the league in scoring. The defense was equally porous, falling from 3rd in the league to 11th (next to last). Last year's #1 goalie George Gardner
played only 2 games due to injuries, and Russ Gillow
suffered from injuries and the "sophomore jinx" as his GAA went from 2.91 in 1972-73 to 3.98 in 1973-74. The other goalies that were brought in didn't fare much better, with Ian Wilkie sporting an unimpressive 3.91 GAA, Jim McCleod at 4.27, and Paul Hoganson
even worse with a 4.68 GAA. The special teams, which were solid the season before, also fell on hard times as the power play ranked 9th and the penalty killing went from 3rd in the league to last. The Sharks ended up with the worst record in the league, and endured losing streaks of 9 and 6 games. The only noteworhty item was that they became the fist team ever to have no ties (the WHA 10 munite overtime rule helped, but WHA teams still averaged 4 ties per season).
