  1. Not excited at all for this game, a massive bellwether game! We might get destroyed… I think the only way we win is Wenny does a Selke-like mega SHUTDOWN on Josh Doan, that guy is the heartbeat of this team! You're looking at possibly the best team in the NHL President's trophy by the end of the year 10-1 big oooof ;-/

  2. Playing in Buffalo has always been a house of horrors for the Sharks. I'm glad Leddy was called up. I don't expect him to see ice time unless there is an injury. Time to see Mukhamadullin and Dickinson get consistent and expanding playing time.

  3. Buffalo had a knockdown drag out battle with TB the other night but are beatable. It’s essential SJ begin accumulating points because LA and Utah keep winning.
