The regular season is underway, with the Sharks taking 3 of 4 possible standings points in dropping a 3-2 shootout decision in the opener at Edmonton, then coming back for a 3-1 win at Vancouver. Next up: tonight, a strong Colorado team; then Wednesday in Chicago against a Blackhawks squad that came back from a 3-1 deficit to edge the Wings in a shootout, 4-3. Have to respect teams that come back against the Wings, right?
Biggest surprise thus far are the two goals Jeremy Roenick scored against the Canucks. Maybe GM Doug Wilson knew what he was doing in signing JR after all. Doug Murray is making the most of his ice time, with a couple of assists, a +3 rating, and a fight in defence of Torrey Mitchell.
Nice to see the Ducks struggle, too!
