It’s not as big as Kesselmania but it’s generally exciting when Joe Thornton returns to Boston. The Sharks enter winning 6 of their last 7 and a modest 2 game win streak. Today is the first of a six game road trip for San Jose.
Next up the Caps, Blue Jackets, Devils, Panthewrs and Preds.
Leading their teams out were Tim Thomas and Antti Neimi so we will look for them to start
