Here we go, folks.
This time, it counts. As fun as it was whooping the Anaheim Ducks in the preseason, doing it when there are points on the line is so much better. Finally, hockey is back — really back.
The Sharks had a less than ideal preseason. The kids won the first two with ease (against the Ducks, thank you very much) but they dropped four in a row after that, even after working in most of their veteran roster. It’s safe to say a 2-3-1 record and a four-game losing streak would not go over well during the regular season.
