It's like an abusive relationship.

Evander Kanes face during that goal was hilarious

3 main differences... the Sharks are the oldest team in the league, they're tied down by a bunch of expensive/long contracts for aging players, and they don't have their 1st round pick, so they're definitely on the way down.

Ducks are probably a season or two from being reasonably competitive again.
