Opening night.

Tomorrow is opening night for the NHL — and I’m thrilled to see it back and in operation. I have great hope for the changes they’ve made.

It’s really hard to handicap this season, given the changes, how teams will react, and how the time off will affect players (some will get better from the time off; others just older).

But right now, I really like the Sharks and Senators. I’ll make those my choices for the Stanley Cup.

Game on! drop the damn puck already.
