At long last, the NHL regular season begins for Sharks fans. Game time is just a minute away (9pm EDST), a the Sharks visit Edmonton to open the 2007-08 campaign.
Curiosity: What will the starting line-up look like? Who failed to make the cut and is off to AHL Worcester? The Sharks seem awfully secretive about this, having not yet released a statement with the final cuts. We do know that hot rookie Devin Setoguchi will not make his NHL debut tonight, due to an ankle injury. Interestingly, the Sharks announced that this means Jeremy Roenick will play. Was there a possibility that JR wasn’t going to make the cut with a healthy Setoguchi? time will tell.
Well, let’s enjoy this from the first drop of the puck. It’s going to be a fun season!
Also: Mark your calendar for the first Sharks midwest road date. It comes next Wednesday, October 10, in Chicago.
