Sharks fans have been patiently waiting since Tuesday for the season to finally begin and it still feels like the opener sneaked up on me.
We’re here. Every forward line has at least one player making their regular season debut for Team Teal. The netminding tandem is brand new. There are a lot of uncertainties about this roster.
But that last preseason game, the stomping of the Vegas Golden Knights, that felt pretty good, right? This team is having fun playing hockey and watching them is kind of delightful at the moment.
This season is going to be a weird one.
I’m determined to enjoy it.
Here’s everything you need to know to tune in to the home opener:
