The San Jose Sharks first puck drop of the season, Erik Karlsson’s highly-anticipated debut in teal, and the appearance of a couple beardless Joes – all of which lived up to the hype as the San Jose Sharks squared off against the Anaheim Ducks in the season opener in an endless sea of teal at the Tank.
The tide rode high and low all night, and it was the Ducks that rained on the parade of Erik Karlsson and the San Jose Sharks as the Anaheim Ducks snatched a season-opening win by a 5-2 margin.
While many Sharks were amped to get the season underway, San Jose’s starting goaltender Martin Jones did not look prepared for the first game.
