In a couple of hours, the Sharks will open the season after Joe Sakic's number is raised to the rafters. Colorado made some big changes this offseason and most folks are thinking this will be a rebuilding year. While the Sharks are still working on things, they can't afford to take anyone lightly.
Lots of focus for Sharks changes has been on bringing in Heately, but there as been more upheaval in the bottom six. Of tonight's expected starters, only 2 of the 6 saw time last year, and that wasn't as regulars. That was Jamie McGinn and Jody Shelley. New faces include Manny Malhotra, Scott Nichol, Jed Ortmeyer and rookie Benn Ferriero. I think the changes here are going to be the most telling in how the Sharks do come playoff time.
I'm annoyed at the whole Versus/Comcast/DirecTV carriage dispute and that it's looking like DTV won't be showing the game. There's online options, so I think I'll be looking for one of those come start time.
